The second quarter earnings season has proved to be a boon for the market in recent weeks. The stocks came under pressure in the year's first half, dragging down the overall market.

However, the second quarter earnings lifted the spirits of the market participants in July, which has reflected in the overall market performance. All the three indices, Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, have marked their best performing month in July since 2020, in the wake of the positive earnings season.

This week, some of the important players in their respective industries like BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX), Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN), Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS), Coupang, Inc. (NYSE: CPNG), and Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN), would report their earnings, which the investors would closely watch.

Coupang, Inc. (NYSE: CPNG)

The e-commerce sector got a significant boost during the Covid-19 pandemic, as consumers shifted their focus to online shopping due to restrictions. Despite the trend still advancing at a stable pace, it seemed to have cooled off from its pandemic rally.

The South Korean e-commerce firm marked a 22 per cent YoY increase in its first quarter total net revenue of US$ 5.1 billion. Its net loss improved to US$ 209.29 million in Q1 FY22, from a loss of US$ 295.03 million in Q1 FY21.

Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN)

Rivian was one of the biggest IPOs in the prior year. The EV maker has also been in the news due to its backing from Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN).

On July 21, Amazon said US customers would see custom electric delivery vehicles from Rivian. The companies plan to introduce thousands of custom electric delivery vehicles to hundreds of cities this year.

Rivian said it manufactured 4,401 vehicles in the second quarter of 2022 and delivered 4,467 vehicles. The automotive technology firm is on track to meet its 25,000 annual production outlook as it previously provided, Rivian added.

Bottom line:

The soaring inflation, interest rate hikes by the global central banks, and other uncertainties have raised concerns in the market in recent months. The US Federal Reserve raised the interest rate by 225 basis points in July, with a hike of 75 basis points in the last month for the second straight month.

On the other hand, the US GDP showed that the economy fell by 0.9 per cent annually in the second quarter, following a decline of 1.6 per cent in the starting quarter of 2022.

However, the second quarter earnings suggested that big companies like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), etc., have avoided the hurdles while posting strong quarterly results.
