PepsiCo (PEP) – The snack and beverage giant gained 1.3% in premarket trading, after beating estimates on the top and bottom lines and raising its full-year forecast. PepsiCo earned an adjusted $1.72 per share for the quarter, 19 cents above estimates, helped by increasing North American beverage sales.

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) – The bank reported a quarterly profit of $3.78 per share for the second quarter, beating the $3.21 consensus estimate, with revenue also topping Street forecasts. Results got a boost from an increase in investment banking fees, but the stock fell 1.3% in premarket action.

Boeing (BA) – Boeing shares fell 2.2% in the premarket, after saying it would cut the production rate for its 787 Dreamliner to deal with a new production-related issue.

Goldman Sachs (GS) – Goldman reported a second-quarter profit of $15.02 per share, beating the $10.24 consensus estimate, while revenue also exceeded Wall Street forecasts. Goldman’s bottom line was helped by a surge in global deal fees.

Conagra Brands (CAG) – The food producer beat estimates by 2 cents with adjusted quarterly earnings of 54 cents per share, with revenue topping analyst predictions as well. Conagra did cut its fiscal 2022 full-year forecast due to the impact of inflation, and its stock fell 3.7% in premarket action.
