We have officially hit the busy stretch of Q2 earnings season, so Ryan and Dave jumped straight into the market’s top trending tickers and reports to give investors everything they need to know as the week trudges along.

Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) helped lift the Nasdaq in morning trading Tuesday after reporting better-than-expected results Monday afternoon. The search engine behemoth saw incredible growth from its core advertising business, as well as its new cloud and hardware initiatives.

These strong results now put the spotlight on Facebook and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) , the remaining FANG stocks set to report this week. Make sure to check out the show to hear Ryan and Dave sound off on Google and the rest of the FANGs!

Also of note is the news coming out of the automotive sector this week, starting with Monday’s announcement that Fiat Chrysler and Ferrari chief Sergio Marchionne will be resigning from his positions due to illness. Marchionne was already planning to leave FCAU, but his departure from Ferrari is earlier than expected, leaving that brand in period of uncertainty.

And of course, that news comes just ahead of the auto sector’s own earnings season, with Fiat Chrysler, Ford (F - Free Report) , and General Motors (GM - Free Report) all set to report on Wednesday. Each of these companies has their own story to tell tomorrow, and given Dave’s unique perspective on the auto business, the Free Lunch team was able to discuss these upcoming reports!
