STOCKS WOBBLE WITH NETFLIX EARNINGS ON DECK

Gas prices: Why one U.S. region will see 'stiff increases' this week

Google soars; GE beats; Barbie hurts Mattel

Bill McColl

Here are some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team is following for you today.

Google (GOOGL) Shares hit an all-time high following its quarterly report. The company handily beat profit forecasts. And while revenue was in line, it was better than expected when subtracting certain costs. Google reports solid gains in mobile and its You Tube video service. In addition, CFO Ruth Borat confirmed the company is making a conscious effort to control spending.

General Electric (GE) The big conglomerate beat on both its top and bottom lines in the period. GE says it saw strong organic growth and what it calls "exceptional" cash generation. And it's boosting the low end of its full year earnings guidance.

Mattel (MAT)  Excluding certain items, the toymaker had a surprise profit in the second quarter. But revenue fell well below analysts' forecast. And you can blame Barbie. Sales of the famous doll slumped 19%. Mattel also says it was hurt by the strong dollar.
