Two of the Magnificent Seven companies are releasing their quarterly results after markets close, as investors keenly watch the growth trajectory of these megacap stocks. Alphabet, the Google parent, is expected to report a 13% rise in second-quarter revenue, its fourth straight quarter of double-digit growth, with healthy demand for its cloud computing services. Investors will closely watch updates on the adoption of AI features unveiled at Google's recent developer conference and how much that has cost the company. Meanwhile, Tesla is expected to report a drop of about 1% in second-quarter revenue, even after it delivered more cars than market expectations. Investors will want to hear more on Tesla's pivot to self-driving technology and how that could once again set the company apart from other automakers and fuel the sort of rally in its stock that propelled it to a record high in 2021.
Coca-Cola is expected to post a fall in second-quarter revenue, mainly driven by consumers in the United States pulling back on its sodas, which got pricier in the last couple of years, even as demand in international markets such as Europe and Asia remains steady. Investors will look out for comments about consumer demand in the United States, new product launches and plans for the Paris Olympics slated to begin later this month.
Visa, the world's largest payments network, is expected to report a jump in second-quarter profit, driven by robust consumer spending.

Comcast is expected to report a revenue fall in the second quarter, hurt by fewer net new phone subscriber additions.

Renewable energy firm Enphase is expected to report a drop in second-quarter profit after the markets close.
Real estate information provider CoStar Group is expected to post higher second-quarter revenue, likely to be helped by robust traffic on its global websites and growing sales of its homes.com memberships.
