Earnings season continues with Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) and Tesla (TSLA) reporting their Q2 2025 results, providing investors with valuable insights into the companies' financial health. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, reported quarterly earnings of $5.12 per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.15 per share [1]. This marks a significant improvement over the previous year's earnings of $1.89 per share. Alphabet's revenues also exceeded expectations, reaching $81.72 billion compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $79.87 billion. The company has consistently beaten earnings and revenue estimates over the last four quarters.

Tesla, on the other hand, reported GAAP EPS of $0.33 and non-GAAP EPS of $0.40 per share, meeting Wall Street expectations of $0.39 per share [2]. However, the company's total revenue decreased by 12% year-over-year to $22.5 billion. Tesla's operating income also decreased by 42% to $0.9 billion, resulting in a 4.1% operating margin. Despite these declines, Tesla maintains a strong cash position with $36.8 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and investments.

In addition to these earnings reports, new economic data will provide insights into the impact of tariffs on consumer and business spending. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak on bank regulation, which will be closely watched by investors and economists. These events will influence market sentiment and could impact the performance of Alphabet and Tesla stocks.
