Earnings live: Airbnb beats, DoorDash stock pops, Lyft slides after Uber set the bar high
Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones. Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy. This week, investors hear from Tyson (TSN), AMD (AMD), Snap (SNAP), McDonald's (MCD), Disney (DIS), Uber (UBER), Lyft (LYFT), Palantir (PLTR), and more when they report results. Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 66% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 10.3% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter. Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. Here are the latest updates from corporate America. Lyft stock slides after results failed to impress Lyft (LYFT) stock slid after hours after the ride-hailing company missed second quarter revenue estimates on Wednesday amid heightened competition with Uber (UBER) and weakening demand. However, Lyft raised its guidance for gross bookings in the current quarter to between $4.65 billion and $4.80 billion, well above estimates of $4.59 billion. Here are Lyft's top and bottom line results for the quarter, compared to S&P Global Market Intelligence consensus estimates: Earlier in the day, rival Uber reported it saw trips surge 18% year over year, putting pressure on Lyft to report impressive results. While Uber stock popped earlier in the day, it closed about 0.2% lower on the day. Reuters reports: Read more here. Airbnb earnings top estimates, company announces $6 billion in stock buybacks Airbnb (ABNB) stock wavered in after-hours trading after better-than-expected earnings, a slight guidance lift, and a new $6 billion stock buyback program. The company said it saw stable travel demand and booking lead times in the second quarter despite global economic uncertainty. Net income grew 16% year over year to $642 million, the company reported, with earnings per share coming in at $1.03 versus $0.94 estimated. Revenue rose 13% year over year, reaching $3.1 billion, above estimates for $3.02 billion. For the third quarter, Airbnb expects revenue between $4.02 billion and $4.10 billion, the midpoint of which is higher than analysts' average estimate of $4.05 billion. Airbnb also announced a new stock buyback program to purchase up to an additional $6 billion of Class A common stock. Read more here. DoorDash stock pops after earnings beat across all metrics as consumers paid up for convenience DoorDash (DASH) reported second quarter results that beat on both the top and bottom lines on Wednesday, with its orders also rising more than forecast. Earnings per share came in at $0.65, $0.20 more than the Street had forecast. Adjusted EBITDA reached $655 million in the quarter. Revenue grew 25% year over year to $3.28 billion, compared to the $3.17 billion the Street predicted. Total orders, which means all orders through its marketplaces and commerce platform, also jumped 20% to 761 million in the quarter. That's more than the 749 million analysts had anticipated. Shares rose as much as 3% after the results. Marketplace GOV, which is the total dollar value of transactions completed through the marketplace, including taxes, tips, and fees related to DashPass and its international platform Wolt+, clocked in at $24.2 billion compared to the expected $23.6 billion. Year to date, the stock has been on a tear, up more than 50%, compared to the S&P 500's (^GSPC) 8% gain. The company said total orders were driven by strength in the US restaurant category, as its DashPass membership members ordered more frequently. It added that it continues to "improve the value proposition" for its DashPass membership. DoorDash expects marketplace GOV in the current quarter to come in between $24.2 billion and $24.7 billion. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to fall between $680 million and$780 million in its third quarter. Shopify stock soars on upbeat forecast, 31% revenue growth Shopify (SHOP) stock surged 18% before the opening bell after the commerce technology company provided an upbeat forecast and positive results.

Yum Brands stock falls amid underperformance in the US Yum Brands (YUM) stock fell over 3% on Tuesday after an earnings miss and weaker-than-expected sales in the US amid a tougher consumer environment.

Caterpillar warns of up to $1.5 billion tariff hit, profit misses on weak demand Caterpillar (CAT) is expecting a bigger hit from tariffs in the third quarter and the rest of 2025 than it initially projected, as President Trump's tariffs hit the industrial and manufacturing segment especially hard. The company flagged a tariff impact of $400 million to $500 million in the third quarter and $1.5 billion hit from costs tied to US tariffs in 2025. Caterpillar was able to offset some of the higher tariff costs; however, higher interest rates and a slowdown in US construction activity led to a pullback in demand for its products. The heavy machinery manufacturer reported adjusted earnings per share of $4.72 on revenue of $16.6 billion. Analysts were expecting adjusted EPS of $4.90 on revenue of $16.3 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Caterpillar stock fell less than 1% in premarket trading.

Caterpillar warns of up to $1.5 billion tariff hit, profit misses on weak demand Caterpillar (CAT) is expecting a bigger hit from tariffs in the third quarter and the rest of 2025 than it initially projected, as President Trump's tariffs hit the industrial and manufacturing segment especially hard. The company flagged a tariff impact of $400 million to $500 million in the third quarter and $1.5 billion hit from costs tied to US tariffs in 2025. Caterpillar was able to offset some of the higher tariff costs; however, higher interest rates and a slowdown in US construction activity led to a pullback in demand for its products. The heavy machinery manufacturer reported adjusted earnings per share of $4.72 on revenue of $16.6 billion. Analysts were expecting adjusted EPS of $4.90 on revenue of $16.3 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Caterpillar stock fell less than 1% in premarket trading.

What's a ‘Secondary Tariff' Like the One Trump Imposed on India?
In his second term as US president, Donald Trump has used tariffs as a blanket solution to pursue a wide range of goals: increasing domestic manufacturing and foreign market access, boosting federal revenue, and even punishing the government of Brazil for prosecuting his political ally, former President Jair Bolsonaro. Now he's deployed a tool he calls a 'secondary tariff' in an effort to get countries to distance themselves from US adversaries. On Aug. 6, Trump announced that such a tariff on imports from India would take effect in 21 days. On top of an existing 25% levy on goods from India, he added an additional 25% tariff to penalize India for buying oil from Russia.
