Second quarter earnings season is winding down, and with most of the reports in, the results have been mostly positive.

Over 92% of S&P 500 index companies have reported results, and as of Aug. 18, analysts expected S&P 500 companies to report an 11% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter.

Companies had lower expectations to clear coming into the quarter — analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, the slowest pace of earnings growth since Q4 2023 — amid President Trump’s tariffs, stocks’ lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy.

Smucker (SJM), Urban Outfitters (URBN), Affirm (AFRM), Best Buy (BBY), Bath & Body Works (BBWI), Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS), Dell (DELL), Dollar General (DG), Gap (GAP), Petco (WOOF), Wolfspeed (WOLF), Bank of Montreal (BMO), MongoDB (MDB), and Ulta (ULTA).

Meanwhile, markets will continue to digest last week’s commentary on the health of consumer spending from Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), Home Depot (HD), and Lowe’s (LOW).

    Shares of MongoDB surged 23% in after-hours trading following surprising momentum in the company’s subscription revenue.

    In the second quarter, overall revenue rose 24% year over year to $591.4 million. MongoDB reported a loss per share of $0.58. Both metrics surpassed Wall Street’s estimates for revenue of $553 million and a loss of $0.85 per share, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

  • Shares of struggling chipmaker Wolfspeed rise as results are better than feared

    Wolfspeed (WOLF) stock rose just under 1% in after-hours trading following its fiscal fourth quarter results. The struggling chipmaker has been navigating Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is in the midst of a restructuring, after delays in CHIPS Act funding further hampered the company’s finances.

    Wolfspeed reported a loss per share $4.30, compared to a loss of $1.39 per share during the same period a year ago. Revenue came in at $197 million, compared to $201 million the previous year. Wall Street analysts expected worse results.

    “Reflecting upon my first three months with Wolfspeed, I am more confident than ever in my decision to join the Company and our opportunity to further strengthen our position in the industry,” Wolfspeed’s new CEO, Robert Feurle, said in a statement. “Our next important milestone is for the court to approve our Plan of Reorganization next month, and emerge from Chapter 11 shortly thereafter, with a much stronger financial structure.”

  • PDD stock jumps after the Temu owner beat earnings estimates

    PDD Holdings (PDD) stock gained 7% in premarket trading on Monday after the Chinese e-commerce giant beat earnings estimates by a wide margin.

    The Temu and Pinduoduo owner reported earnings per American depository share (ADS) of 20.75 Chinese yuan (approximately $2.89) compared to estimates of 12.30 yuan ($1.72), per S&P Global Market Intelligence estimates.

    Revenue rose 7% year over year to 10.4 billion ($1.45 billion), barely beating estimates as price competition with rivals Alibaba (BABA) and JD.com (JD) and higher costs from tariffs weighed on margins.

    “Revenues growth further moderated this quarter amid intense competition,” said Jun Liu, PDD Holdings vice president of finance. “As we remain focused on long-term value creation, the sustained investments may continue to weigh on short-term profitability.”

  • Nvidia to highlight next week’s earnings

    Second quarter results from Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), Kohl’s (KSS), and Best Buy (BBY) next week will continue to beat the drum of retail earnings after reports from America’s big box stores, Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT).

    But it’s Nvidia’s (NVDA) earnings that will be the star attraction, as the AI chipmaker’s stock has an 8% weighting in the S&P 500 (^GSPC).

    As Yahoo Finance Senior Tech Editor Dan Howley writes, investors will be squarely focused on Nvidia’s data center business — even more so since the company announced a new gigascale networking plan that will combine the performance of multiple data centers to create one massive GPU. And many will be eager to hear more about a new China chip Nvidia is developing with the Trump administration.

    Here’s a look at next week’s earnings calendar, marking a sort of grand finale for the second quarter reporting season:

    Monday: PDD Holdings (PDD)

    Tuesday: BMO (BMO), MongoDB (MDB), Okta (OKTA), PVH (PVH)

    Zoom stock (ZM) popped 5% on Thursday afternoon after the company reported a huge earnings beat.

    Zoom posted earnings per share of $1.16, compared to Wall Street analyst estimates for $0.72, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. That represents 66% annual earnings growth.

    The company’s founder and CEO, Eric Yuan, noted that the strong quarter comes as artificial intelligence reshapes the way people are working. The company highlighted its paid add-on for custom AI agents that help with meeting prep and call summaries as drivers.

    Revenue rose 5% to $1.2 billion, bolstered by 7% growth in Enterprise revenue. The company’s monthly churn rate remained flat year over year at 2.9%.

    Zoom also raised its full-year revenue outlook and free cash flow guidance, which is now expected to be in the range of $1.74 billion to $1.78 billion.

    For the full 2026 fiscal year, total revenue is expected to be between $4.825 billion and $4.835 billion while diluted EPS is expected to be between $5.81 and $5.84.

  • Workday to acquire AI company Paradox, stock falls

    Workday (WDAY) stock slipped more than 3% in after-hours trading following the company’s announcement that it would acquire Paradox for an undisclosed amount. Paradox is an AI company that uses AI chatbots to simplify the job application process.

    Workday also reported second quarter results that beat expectations. Subscription revenue increased 14%, lifting overall revenue to $2.35 billion in the second quarter. Wall Street was looking for revenue of $2.34 billion.

    Diluted earnings per share of $2.21 beat estimates of $2.12 per share.

    “Our second quarter results reflect the strength of our platform and our continued progress across several of our growth initiatives,” CFO Zane Rowe said. “Following our first half momentum — and also incorporating the acquisition of Paradox — we are increasing our fiscal 2026 subscription revenue guidance to $8.815 billion, representing growth of 14%, and increasing our fiscal 2026 non-GAAP operating margin guidance to approximately 29%.”

  • Walmart CEO: Tariff impact has been ‘gradual,’ but we expect costs to increase

    Walmart (WMT) reassured investors that it’s continuing to gain market share and generate healthy sales growth.

    But even though executives said the company didn’t see any “dramatic shifts” with consumer behavior last quarter, they did communicate that keeping costs low could become a greater challenge in the second half of the year as tariff-related price increases work their way through inventory.

    “With regards to our US pricing decisions, given tariff-related cost pressures, we’re doing what we said we would do: We’re keeping our prices as low as we can for as long as we can,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said on Walmart’s earnings call.

    “The way things have played out so far, the impact of tariffs has been gradual enough that any behavioral adjustments by the customer have been somewhat muted,” McMillon continued. “But as we replenish inventory at post-tariff price levels, we’ve continued to see our costs increase each week, which we expect will continue into the third and fourth quarters.”
