In this article:
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.
Highly anticipated reports from Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), Home Depot (HD), and Lowe’s (LOW) are on deck next, which will provide insights into consumer spending.
Other major companies reporting this week include BJ’s Wholesale (BJ), TJX Companies (TJX), Ross Stores (ROST), Estée Lauder (EL), Intuit (INTU), Zoom Communications (ZM), Workday (WDAY), Xpeng (XPEV), Medtronic (MDT), La-Z-Boy (LZB), Toll Brothers (TOL), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), and Blink Charging (BLNK).
Last week, results came in for Applied Materials (AMAT), Circle (CRCL), Lenovo (0992.HK), AMC (AMC), Cava (CAVA), Cisco (CSCO), CoreWeave (CRWV), Deere (DE), On (ONON), and Oklo (OKLO).

Palo Alto Networks stock pops on healthy earnings growth, guidance
Palo Alto Networks (PANW) stock shot up 6% after hours after the company reported solid earnings and margin growth in its fiscal fourth quarter.
The cybersecurity firm reported $2.54 billion in revenue in its fiscal fourth quarter (a 16% increase) and earnings per share of $0.95. Wall Street analysts expected revenue of $2.50 billion and earnings of $0.89 per share, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Shares of Palo Alto Networks are off by 10% over the past month due to a drawdown following the company’s $25 billion acquisition of identity security solutions provider CyberArk. But guidance for full-year adjusted EPS of $3.75 to $3.85 also came in above expectations amid the deal.
“Cybersecurity is a clear 2nd/3rd derivative play on the AI Revolution with PANW in the driver’s seat to gain market/mind share in the cybersecurity landscape,” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote in a note ahead of earnings. Ives added, “the continued shift to the cloud [is] putting the company in a strong position to accelerate deal flow as more strategic enterprise AI projects take hold over the coming year.”

Walmart, Target quarterly results on deck next week
The focus turns to retailers next week as heavyweights Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), Lowe’s (LOW), and Home Depot (HD) report results.
Investors will be listening for changes in consumer behavior as tariffs and inflation remain top concerns for households.
Earlier this earnings season, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy noted that the company wasn’t seeing diminishing demand or meaningful price increases. Similarly, Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach said consumer spending remains healthy.
However, recent data showed retail sales rose by less than expected in July. And some companies, particularly fast-casual restaurants, noted their customers were pulling back.
With that mixed picture in the backdrop, the earnings calendar next week should provide additional insights from some of the big brands Americans shop. Here’s what’s on deck:
Monday
Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Blink Charging (BLNK)
Tuesday
Home Depot, Xpeng (XPEV), Medtronic (MDT), La-Z-Boy (LZB), Toll Brothers (TOL)
Wednesday
Target, Lowe’s, Baidu (BIDU), TJX Companies (TJX), Estée Lauder (EL)
Thursday
Walmart, Intuit (INTU), Zoom Communications (ZM), Workday (WDAY), Ross Stores (ROST)

With Nvidia’s Q2 earnings in sight, Trump deal could boost outlook
Nvidia’s (NVDA) deal with President Trump to give the US government a 15% cut of H20 chip revenue in China adds an interesting wrinkle to the company’s earnings. China has responded by urging companies not to use the chips.
Yahoo Finance’s Daniel Howley writes that the payment, which could face legal challenges, won’t show up in Nvidia’s Q2 report but could boost its Q3 outlook if the administration moves quickly.

McGraw Hill posts profitable quarter in first post-IPO earnings report
McGraw Hill (MH) stock gained 2% after reporting its first quarterly results since going public.
It traded around $13.61 on Thursday afternoon. In July, shares opened at $17 apiece in the company’s IPO.
Total revenue increased 2.4% year over year to $535.7 million. The education solutions company also swung to a $0.5 million profit, compared to its $9.4 million loss a year ago.
Market share gains, enrollment, and continued demand for digital learning solutions fueled the higher education business, which saw revenue jump 14.1% year over year. Revenue for the K-12 segment, however, declined 1.4%. These two business units make up the bulk of McGraw Hill’s business.
The smaller international business noted weakness, with an 11.7% decrease in revenue, while sales in the global professional business held steady.
For 2026, McGraw Hill sees revenue in a range of $1.98 billion to $2.04 billion.

Quantum Computing stock slips as losses accelerate
Quantum Computing (QUBT) CEO Yuping Huang said that the company continued to make progress in growing commercial traction in the second quarter, but the industry is still focused on reaching technology milestones.
Second quarter revenue totaled approximately $61,000, compared to $183,000 in the same period a year ago. The company reported a net loss of $36.5 million, or $0.26 per share. In Q2 2024, Quantum Computing posted a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.06 per share.
Quantum Computing stock fell 2.3% after hours in what’s been a whipsaw year for quantum stocks. In June, the stock spiked 25% in one day after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said quantum computing “is reaching an inflection point.”
But the industry is still in its infancy. The other big quantum player, Rigetti Computing (RGTI), reported a technology breakthrough in its recent results but also big losses.
“We are talking of a market that’s hundreds of billions of dollars a decade or two from now,” Rigetti CEO Subodh Kulkarni told Market Domination Overtime. “But right now, we are clearly in the R&D stage. We clearly need to perfect the technology to get to that big milestone in about four years, which we call quantum advantage.”

Applied Materials stock sinks as policy uncertainty weighs on Q4 guidance
Applied Materials (AMAT) recorded an earnings beat for the July quarter but said that the “dynamic” policy environment is creating uncertainty for the business. That led the chip equipment maker to issue a revenue forecast of $6.7 billion for the fourth quarter, below what the Street was expecting.
“We are expecting a decline in revenue in the fourth quarter driven by both digestion of capacity in China and nonlinear demand from leading-edge customers given market concentration and fab timing,” CFO Brice Hill said. “We are navigating and adapting to the near-term uncertainties by leveraging our robust supply chain, global manufacturing footprint and deep customer relationships.”
The company, whose clients include Taiwan Semiconductor and Intel, posted record revenue of $7.30 billion in Q3, up 8% year over year, surpassing estimates for $7.2 billion. Earnings per share of $2.48 also beat estimates by $0.12.
Applied Materials stock fell 11% in after-hours trading.

Earnings and revenue beats lift Dillard’s stock
Dillard’s (DDS) stock rose 7% on Thursday after the department store chain reported revenue and profit beats for the quarter.
Net income fell to $72.8 million compared to $74.5 million a year ago, but earnings per share rose $0.07 year over year after the Arkansas-based company bought back stock.
Revenue of $1.53 billion beat Wall Street estimates of $1.52 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Earnings per share of $4.66 also topped estimates of $4.00 per share.
Total retail sales were flat, with strength in juniors’ and children’s apparel as well as ladies’ accessories and lingerie. The weakest performing category was home and furniture.
Other major retailers, including Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), and Macy’s (M), will report second quarter results in the coming weeks, providing a more in-depth look into consumer spending habits.
Dillard’s stock is up 23% year to date. It has climbed 78% since its April 8 low.

Advance Auto Parts stock sinks 14% on gloomy financial outlook
Advance Auto Parts (AAP) stock sank 14% on Thursday morning after issuing a downbeat profit forecast.
The Raleigh, N.C.-based company beat Wall Street’s earnings estimates but lowered its full-year earnings per share outlook to $1.20-$2.20 from its previous range of $1.50-$2.50. Advance Auto Parts attributed this change to a higher net interest expense related to its recent senior notes offering.
In the earnings call, executives noted that approximately 40% of the company’s cost of goods is exposed to tariffs at a blended rate of 30%.
During the quarter, Advance Auto Parts saw lower transactions but higher tickets, as prices increased by 2%. The company noted that its competitors are also raising prices in a similar fashion.
“If you look at the maybe lower to mid-income cohorts, they are more pressured than others right now,” CFO Ryan Grimsland said about the price impacts of tariffs. “The wages aren’t necessarily fully keeping up with some of the inflation that’s in there. And so there are trade-offs that they’re making. And we’re still seeing that. It’d be interesting to see how that plays out in the back half of the year.”

Brinker International stock pops as Chili’s drives earnings beat
Brinker International (EAT) stock jumped 9% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the restaurant group reported earnings and revenue that topped estimates, powered by another quarter of strong sales at Chili’s.
The company reported net income of $107 million, or $2.49 per share on an adjusted basis, on revenue of $1.46 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter. During the same period last year, Brinker posted net income of $57.3 million ($1.24 per share) on $1.2 billion in revenue.
The results were also better than Wall Street expected. Estimates going into the report were for adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.47 and revenue of $1.44 billion.
Chili’s was the standout this quarter, with 23.7% sales growth and 16% traffic growth. Comparable sales at Maggiano’s declined 0.4%.
“With that sustained momentum, along with a strong pipeline of initiatives, we are confident in our ability to grow sales and traffic throughout Fiscal 2026,” CEO Kevin Hochman said in a statement. “Chili’s is officially back, baby back!”
Brinker expects fiscal 2026 revenue to be between $5.6 billion and $5.7 billion. It sees full-year earnings per share at $9.90 to $10.50.

Cava stock plummets after company misses some of Wall Street’s marks, cuts guidance
Cava (CAVA) missed Wall Street’s mark for revenue and same-store sales growth in its second quarterly earnings report.
The company’s revenue came in at $280.62 million, below the $285.56 million Wall Street expected, per Bloomberg consensus estimates. Adjusted earnings beat by $0.03, coming in at $0.16.
Same-store sales came in lower than expected, up 2.1%, driven by menu prices and product mix. Meanwhile, guest foot traffic was flat, far less than the 6.14% jump expected by the Street.
In the release, CEO Brett Schulman called it a “fluid macroeconomic environment,” adding that it “continued to grow market share” during the quarter.
For the full year, the company expects same-store sales growth of 4% to 6%, down from the previously expected range of 6% to 8%.

CoreWeave Q2 revenue beats estimates, but results come up against high bar
Nvidia (NVDA)-backed AI cloud company CoreWeave (CRWV) delivered solid revenue growth in its second quarterly report since going public, but its loss per share widened. The stock fell 6% in after-hours trading.
Wall Street expected strong top-line numbers going into earnings, as robust AI demand, a deal with Core Scientific, and a $4 billion expansion deal with OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) fueled the quarter. Two of CoreWeave’s key customers, Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META), also reaffirmed their spending plans going into the quarter in a bullish sign for AI demand.
Here are some key figures CoreWeave reported versus estimates compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence:
Revenue beat: $1.21 billion, versus $1.08 billion estimated and $395.4 million a year ago.
Wider loss per share: $0.60 loss per share, compared to a $0.49 loss estimated.
Operating expenses increased: $1.19 billion in the quarter, compared to $317 million a year ago.
Lighter capital expenditures on property and equipment: $2.45 billion, compared to estimates of $3.54 billion.
Revenue backlog increased: $30.1 billion, as of June 30. In the first quarter, the company’s backlog was $25.9 billion.
“Our strong second quarter performance demonstrates continued momentum across every dimension of our business,” CEO and co-founder Michael Intrator said in the earnings release. “We are scaling rapidly as we look to meet the unprecedented demand for AI.”
CoreWeave said it will provide forward-looking guidance on its earnings call at 5 p.m. ET. You can listen to that call live on the company’s stock page.

On stock jumps on sales beat, CEO weighs in on tariffs
Footwear company On Holding (ONON) stock gained 7% in early trading after beating second quarter sales estimates and raising its full-year sales guidance.
Net sales increased by 38.2% year over year on a constant currency basis, with revenue coming in at 749 million Swiss francs. The company reported a diluted loss per share of CHF 0.12, a loss of around $0.15.
In 2025, net sales are expected to be up at least 31% year over year on a constant currency basis. Previously, the company guided for sales to be up at least 28%. On also expanded its adjusted EBITDA margin to 17%-17.5% from 16.5%-17.5% previously.
“On has a very strong momentum across the world,” CEO Martin Hoffmann told Yahoo Finance, “This is most visible in our growth of our DTC channel, which has seen 55% growth in the quarter.”
Investors were pleased with On’s ability to mitigate the tariffs successfully on its key sourcing region, Vietnam.
“Our industry has always been exposed to tariffs in the US,” Hoffmann said. “This is nothing new for us. … We have been paying around 20% of most of our imports, and now this number goes up to 40% for importations from Vietnam and 39% for Indonesia.”
Hoffmann said the company benefits from being a premium player, as consumers are willing to pay up for innovation.
He added, “We are a premium brand and we want to be the most premium global sportswear brand. We keep on investing in quality, in our innovation, in our customer experiences, in sustainability, in social impact. … The same is for price increases. We don’t need additional price increases this year to mitigate the impact.”

Monday.com stock tanks following earnings
Monday.com (MNDY) stock fell as much as 20% after the project management software company missed earnings estimates.
In the second quarter, Monday.com reported earnings of $0.03 per share and revenue of $299 million. While revenue beat analyst expectations of $293 million, GAAP profits fell short, as Wall Street was looking for $0.20 per share, per S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Investors have been looking for signs that economic uncertainty is pushing companies to pull back their spending on technology and software.
The Israeli-based company’s operating loss fell to $11.6 million from $1.8 million a year ago, and the operating margin fell to negative 4% from 1% last year.
Monday.com kept its full-year forecast roughly the same. It expects total revenue to grow about 26% to a range of $1.224 billion to $1.229 billion in 2025.
“This quarter demonstrated our relentless focus on driving highly efficient growth at scale, and I’m energized by the momentum in our business and the opportunities we see ahead,” CFO Eliran Glazer said in the earnings release. “As we navigate the shifting landscape, we remain focused on the factors we can control — executing on our innovation roadmap, bolstering our go-to-market efforts to serve customers of all sizes, driving best-in-class operational efficiencies, and delivering products people love.”

Sunrun stock soars 30% on strong results despite policy challenges
Sunrun (RUN) stock rallied more than 30% on Thursday after the solar company reported a surprise profit on Wednesday, lifting shares of other solar stocks.
In the second quarter, Sunrun reported profits of $1.07 per share, compared to an expected loss of $0.12 per share. Sunrun recorded $569 million in revenue, also beating Wall Street estimates for $560 million, per S&P Global Market Intelligence.
The report offered a bright spot in what’s been a turbulent quarter for renewables, as President Trump’s signature budget law accelerated the phase-out of some solar and wind tax credits despite strong lobbying by the industry.
“Sunrun is well-positioned to continue to generate strong financial returns under the enacted legislation,” Sunrun CEO Mary Grace Powell assured investors on the earnings call. “While the sunset of the 25D homeowner tax credit could lead to large declines for a segment of the market in certain geographies, Sunrun is positioned to continue to grow margins and volumes into 2026.”
The Trump administration has also cracked down on permitting for wind and solar projects while propping up nuclear and fossil fuels. And tariffs prove to be another headwind. Powell said tariff costs were “at the low end” of its previously forecast range of $1,000 to $1,300 per customer.

Tariffs loom over Crocs’s third quarter financial outlook
Crocs (CROX) forecast a 9% to 11% decline in third quarter revenue on Thursday, as tariffs and a softer consumer spending environment weigh on the business.
The stock lost a quarter of its value, falling 25% to $79 per share in early trading after reporting second quarter results.
“We expect the Crocs brand to be down mid-single digits, led by declines in North America, offset in part by growth in international,” Crocs CFO Susan Healy said in the company’s earnings call. “This includes our expectation that the second half wholesale environment will be challenging for both brands based on the visibility we have in our current order books.”
On the cost side, Crocs expects incremental tariffs to create a $40 million headwind in the second half of the year for a total impact of $90 million for the year. The shoe company imports most of its products from China, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Cambodia, which face tariffs in a range of 10% to 20%.
The company sees a 170-basis-point impact on adjusted operating margins in the third quarter, largely from tariffs.
Revenue for the June quarter slightly beat estimates at $1.41 billion. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $4.23 also beat expectations of $4.02 per share.
