Twitter warning; Anthem gains; MasterCard dollar woes

Bill McColl

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

Twitter (TWTR) The social media company is warning that it does not expect to see sustained, meaningful user growth for a considerable period of time. Those comments from CFO Anthony Noto came after Twitter reported a quarterly profit and earnings beat.

Anthem (ANTM)  The health insurance provider topped estimates for both earnings and revenue in the period. Anthem benefited from higher premiums, an increase in commercial policies and more Medicaid enrollees because of Obamacare. Last week Anthem agreed to buy rival Cigna (CI) for more than $48 billion.

Gilead Sciences (GILD) The biotech firm had solid beats on both the top and bottom lines in the quarter. Sales of Gilead's anti-viral drugs jumped 27% from the same period last year, thanks to demand for its new Hepatitis C treatment, Harvoni.

MasterCard (MA)  The biggest credit card provider matched estimates for second quarter profit but came up a bit short on revenue. As we've heard many times before this earnings season, MasterCard is pointing to the effects of the strong dollar for its weak top-line growth.

Panera Bread (PNRA) The bakery cafe chain reports sales in the second quarter soared 7%.  And it is seeing signs of continued strong growth in the current quarter.  Panera adds the company's strategic plan to modernize its stores is working.  Still, earnings and revenue in the spring were below analysts' forecasts.

Microsoft (MSFT) The software giant is launching its new Windows 10 operating system today.  And for some current users, Microsoft is offering a free upgrade. CEO Satya Nadella tells the BBC Windows 10 begins a new era in personal computing.
