Sweetgreen cut its 2026 outlook after consumer concern about fresh produce amid the cyclospora outbreak, forecasting same-store-sales to fall 7%–8% (versus prior 2%–4%) and adjusted EBITDA to -$23 million to -$27 million. Shares dropped over 15% after hours. The outbreak has not linked Sweetgreen to contaminated iceberg lettuce, though broader demand for fresh salads has weakened across the restaurant sector; Taco Bell is the only major chain linked to the outbreak. The company also reported a weaker-than-expected Q2 result and noted that the pace of recovery remains uncertain.
Apple beat expectations for the June quarter with revenue of $109.42 billion and earnings of $29.79 billion, driven by iPhone and Mac sales, including a quarterly iPhone revenue record of $54.25 billion. But it guided 9-11% revenue growth for the next quarter, below consensus, citing supply constraints and rising memory costs, which sent shares lower in after-hours trading. It also marked Tim Cook’s final earnings report as CEO, with John Ternus set to take over, and potential price increases for iPads/Macs to offset costs.
Starbucks beat estimates for Q3 with adjusted EPS of 85 cents and revenue of $9.32 billion, led by 7.9% global and 8.1% U.S. same-store sales; revenue dipped 1% due to selling its China stake as it forms a Boyu Capital JV. The company raised full-year guidance to $2.55–$2.65 per share and about 6% global SSS growth (US >6%), signaling stronger momentum under CEO Brian Niccol. The stock climbed more than 7% in after-hours trading.
Coca-Cola beat Q2 estimates, posting adjusted EPS of 97 cents on revenue of $13.38 billion (vs. 93 cents and $13.16 billion expected), with net income of $4.43 billion. Organic revenue rose about 6% and global unit-case volume grew 5%, as all segments posted growth. The company raised its full-year targets to about 9%-10% EPS growth and roughly 5% organic revenue growth. Shares edged higher in premarket trading amid the upbeat results and guidance.

Netflix beat earnings estimates and revenue was roughly in line for the latest quarter, but its Q3 revenue guidance of about $12.86 billion missed Wall Street expectations and engagement trends did not inspire confidence, sending the stock lower amid a cash‑flow decline.

Rivian posted Q2 2026 production of 12,613 vehicles and deliveries of 12,194 (above its 9,000–11,000 forecast), and raised its full-year 2026 delivery guidance to 65,000–70,000 vehicles, signaling improved supply and stronger demand; Q2 results are due July 30 with an accompanying webcast.
Microsoft’s newer Outlook for Windows, built on WebView2, still takes about 10 seconds to show the email after a notification—far slower than the instant open of Outlook Classic. The new app uses multiple WebView2 processes and consumes more RAM (roughly 490–636 MB idle) and CPU (~4% idle) than Classic (117–148 MB idle, <1% CPU), reflecting its web-based architecture. Updates in 2026 improved other areas, but the notification path remains a bottleneck, suggesting a WinUI/native fix in the future; Classic remains available and faster for notification-driven access until it ends support in 2029.
