Earnings live: Danaher stock plunges on trimmed forecast, 3M stock surges

Second quarter earnings continue to roll in, with updates from Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) and Tesla (TSLA) highlighting today's reports.

The pair, along with US chipmaker Intel (INTC), will offer a crucial update on artificial intelligence demand as investors remain torn about huge capex commitments for the AI build-out. IBM (IBM), GE Vernova (GEV), Texas Instruments (TXN), and AT&T (T) also report Q2 results on Wednesday.

Overall, it's shaping up to be a strong earnings season for the S&P 500 (^GSPC). According to FactSet data, analysts estimate the year-over-year S&P 500 earnings growth rate for the second quarter will be 24.7% — above the five-year average of 16.4% and the 10-year average of 10.3%.

If that holds, it will mark the second consecutive quarter of earnings growth above 20% for the index and the seventh straight quarter of double-digit growth.
