Furthermore, Doximity provided strong guidance for the next quarter, with its revenue forecast of $157.5 million coming in 5% above expectations.

Shares of virtual events software company (NYSE:ONTF) jumped 5.6% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter results that beat Wall Street's top and bottom-line estimates, but the report also highlighted continued struggles with revenue growth. The company posted revenue of $35.33 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.02, surpassing analyst expectations of $34.66 million and $0.01, respectively. However, the positive surprise was tempered by underlying weakness, as revenue still declined 5.4% year-on-year. Furthermore, billings, a key indicator of future revenue, fell 14.3% year-on-year to $25.93 million, signaling persistent demand issues. For the full year, ON24 slightly raised its revenue guidance to $138.2 million at the midpoint but only reiterated its adjusted EPS forecast of $0.04, reflecting a mixed outlook for the company.

Shares of behavioral health company LifeStance Health (NASDAQ:LFST) jumped 11% in the afternoon session after the company reported mixed second-quarter 2025 results, delivering an earnings beat and a full-year profit forecast that topped Wall Street estimates. The mental healthcare provider's revenue for the quarter grew 10.6% year-over-year to $345.3 million, which was in line with analyst forecasts, driven by a 10.7% increase in sales volumes. On the bottom line, the company demonstrated improved profitability, posting a GAAP loss of $0.01 per share. This marked a significant improvement from the $0.06 per-share loss in the same period last year and beat consensus estimates for a $0.03 loss. Looking ahead, management provided a full-year Adjusted EBITDA forecast with a midpoint of $145 million, above analyst expectations. However, the company's revenue guidance for the next quarter came in below estimates, creating a mixed picture for investors.

Shares of laser company nLIGHT (NASDAQ:LASR) jumped 23.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter results and issued strong forward-looking guidance. The laser technology specialist reported revenue of $61.74 million, a 22.2% year-over-year increase that beat analyst estimates. Additionally, the company posted an adjusted profit of $0.06 per share, a significant turnaround from a loss of $0.10 per share in the same period last year and well above consensus estimates for a $0.09 loss. Looking ahead, the company issued upbeat third-quarter revenue guidance of $64.5 million, which was nearly 14% above analyst expectations. The company also provided optimistic full-year EBITDA guidance, expecting $4 million at the midpoint, which blew past analyst projections of a loss. Overall, it was a strong quarter that impressed investors with better-than-expected profitability and an optimistic outlook.

Shares of cloud communications infrastructure company Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) fell 18.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter results that beat expectations but provided a weaker-than-expected earnings forecast for the third quarter. The cloud communications company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.19 per share on revenue of $1.23 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. However, this was overshadowed by a disappointing profit forecast for the upcoming period. For the third quarter, Twilio projected adjusted earnings of approximately $1.04 per share, below the consensus estimate of $1.15. This weaker profit guidance suggested potential pressure on profitability, which was also reflected in a year-over-year decline in its gross profit margin for the second quarter. Concerns about slowing demand were further highlighted by analyst projections for decelerating revenue growth over the next 12 months, contributing to the negative investor sentiment.

Shares of water management company Northwest Pipe (NASDAQ:NWPX) jumped 11.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter 2025 financial results that surpassed Wall Street's expectations for both earnings and revenue. The company reported strong second-quarter 2025 results, posting earnings per share (EPS) of $0.91, which significantly surpassed the consensus analyst estimate of $0.72. This represents a notable 26.39% earnings surprise. Revenue also outperformed, coming in at $133.2 million against an expected $120.93 million. This performance was driven by record net sales, marking a 2.8% increase from the same period last year. A key contributor was the Precast segment, which saw its revenue grow 21.5% year-over-year. Adding to investor confidence, Northwest Pipe also announced it had completed a $15.0 million stock repurchase program between April and July 2025, buying back 3.6% of its outstanding shares.

Shares of aerospace and defense company AerSale (NASDAQ:ASLE) jumped 9.1% in the afternoon session after the company posted second-quarter results that beat analyst expectations on both the top and bottom lines. The aviation solutions provider reported adjusted earnings of $0.20 per share, crushing Wall Street's consensus estimate of $0.03. Revenue also impressed, rising 39.3% year-over-year to $107.4 million, which was well ahead of the $86.33 million analysts had anticipated. This performance highlights healthy demand for the company's offerings, which include sales, leasing, and maintenance for mid-life commercial aircraft. The company's profitability saw a dramatic improvement, as its operating margin surged to 11.7%, a significant turnaround from a negative 2.4% in the same quarter last year. This strong bottom-line result was also reflected in its free cash flow, which turned positive at $18.61 million, compared to a burn of $18.94 million in the prior-year period.

Shares of insurance and technology company HCI Group (NYSE:HCI) jumped 4.5% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter 2025 earnings that surpassed analyst expectations for both revenue and profit. The property and casualty insurer reported earnings per share (EPS) of $5.06, a significant increase from $4.24 in the same quarter last year and beating analyst estimates of $4.38. Revenue also surpassed expectations, rising 7.6% year-over-year to $221.9 million. The company's core insurance business showed steady growth, with Net Premiums Earned—what an insurer collects from policies after paying for its own insurance, called reinsurance—increasing 7.1% to $200.1 million. A key driver of the strong results was improved efficiency, as evidenced by the pre-tax profit margin expanding to 42.5%, a 5.7 percentage point increase from the prior year. This indicates that the company's expenses grew at a slower rate than its revenue, boosting overall profitability.

Shares of boutique fitness studio franchisor Xponential Fitness (NYSE:XPOF) fell 23.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter results that missed expectations and lowered its full-year financial guidance. The boutique fitness franchisor reported second-quarter revenue of $76.21 million, which was flat year on year and missed analysts' expectations of $77.35 million. Its adjusted earnings per share of $0.26 also fell short of consensus estimates. The shortfall prompted a negative revision to its future outlook. Management lowered its full-year revenue guidance to a midpoint of $305 million, a 4.7% drop from its previous forecast. Similarly, its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance was cut to a midpoint of $108.5 million, coming in well below Wall Street's projections. These downward revisions signaled to investors that the company anticipates challenges ahead, contributing to the negative reaction in its stock price.

Stocks are finishing the week strong, as tariff turbulence dies down and earnings optimism powers Wall Street.

Shares of internet service provider Cogent Communications (NASDAQ:CCOI) fell 14% in the afternoon session after it reported weak second-quarter results that missed Wall Street's expectations for both revenue and earnings. The company's revenue fell 5.5% year-over-year to $246.2 million, while its loss per share of $1.21 was nearly 30% worse than analysts had anticipated. The disappointing results highlighted several underlying issues for investors. Cogent's cash burn worsened, with the company using $100.2 million in cash during the quarter, a significant increase from the same period last year. Furthermore, the report pointed to a concerning balance sheet, with over $2.3 billion in debt compared to just $306.7 million in cash, raising questions about the company's financial stability.

Shares of voice AI recognition company SoundHound (NASDAQ:SOUN) jumped 26.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter results that featured a massive revenue beat, though profitability fell short of expectations. The voice artificial intelligence firm announced revenue of $42.7 million, a 217% increase year-over-year, which easily surpassed Wall Street's estimates of $32.5 million. However, the strong top-line growth came at a cost. The company's GAAP loss of $0.19 per share was significantly wider than the anticipated loss of $0.09. This trend was also reflected in its operating margin, which worsened to negative 183%. Investors appeared to focus on the impressive sales growth and strong billings, with the stock trading up over 23% following the release.

Shares of ad verification company Integral Ad Science (NASDAQ:IAS) jumped 11.6% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter 2025 financial results that surpassed analyst expectations and raised its full-year outlook. The ad verification company reported revenue of $149.2 million, up 15.7% year-over-year, beating Wall Street's expectations. Profitability was also a significant bright spot, with GAAP earnings per share of $0.10 coming in more than double the analyst consensus of $0.04. The company also beat expectations for adjusted EBITDA. Buoyed by the strong quarter, IAS raised its full-year guidance for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA to approximately $601 million and $211 million, respectively. The positive results were supported by improving operational efficiency, with the company's operating margin expanding to 14% from 11% in the same quarter last year.

Shares of apple device management company, Jamf (NASDAQ:JAMF) jumped 9.6% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter 2025 financial results that beat Wall Street's revenue expectations and included a raised full-year outlook. The Apple device management company announced revenue of $176.5 million, up 15.3% year-over-year, while its adjusted earnings per share of $0.18 was in line with consensus estimates. The beat on the top line was a key driver, as was the company's decision to lift its full-year revenue guidance to a midpoint of $702.5 million. Additionally, adjusted operating income of $33.49 million also surpassed analyst forecasts. The combination of strong sales and an improved outlook outweighed the in-line earnings, sending the stock up 5.6% after the announcement.

Shares of mortgage insurance provider Essent Group (NYSE:ESNT) jumped 6.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported decent second-quarter results that saw earnings beat expectations while a key revenue component fell short. The mortgage insurance provider posted earnings per share of $1.93, comfortably surpassing analyst estimates of $1.71. Total revenue also edged past forecasts, coming in at $319.1 million against an expected $316.8 million. However, this positive news was tempered by a 1.2% year-over-year decline in net premiums earned, a core metric for insurers, which also missed Wall Street's consensus. 

Shares of healthcare software provider Health Catalyst (NASDAQ:HCAT) fell 21.5% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter results that met expectations but slashed its full-year revenue forecast and provided a weak outlook for the upcoming quarter. The healthcare software provider’s revenue of $80.72 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.04 were both in line with Wall Street estimates for the second quarter. However, investors were focused on the future, as the company projected third-quarter revenue of $75 million, which was roughly 12% below analyst expectations. Furthermore, Health Catalyst cut its full-year revenue forecast by 7.5% to $310 million. While the company did beat adjusted EBITDA estimates for the quarter and raised its full-year outlook for the metric, the significant reduction in its revenue guidance overshadowed the positive news, sending shares lower.
