Nvidia — The chipmaker popped 7% after reporting another blowout quarter that topped Wall Street’s estimates.

Adjusted earnings came in at $2.70 per share, ahead of the $2.09 estimate expected from analysts polled by Refinitiv. Nvidia reported revenue of $13.51 billion, topping the $11.22 billion expected by Wall Street.

The company said it expected between 94 cents and $1.04 in earnings per share for the current quarter, while analysts were looking for $1.27 per share, according to Refinitiv. Dollar Tree’s second-quarter results did top estimates on the top and bottom lines.

Autodesk — Shares rose more than 6% after the software company reported stronger-than-expected quarterly results and third-quarter guidance. Autodesk reported adjusted earnings of $1.91 per share on $1.35 billion in revenue. That came in ahead of the EPS of $1.73 on revenue of $1.32 billion expected by analysts polled by Refinitiv.
Petco Health and Wellness — The pet-care retailer tumbled more than 10% after reporting second-quarter earnings before the bell. Adjusted earnings per share of 6 cents was in line with expectations and revenue slightly beat estimates, per StreetAccount.
