Looking for Q2 earnings results? You've come to the right place. After the bell today, we have seen plenty of earnings announcement activity, from Intel (INTC - Free Report) , American Express (AXP - Free Report) , Qualcomm (QCOM - Free Report) and eBay (EBAY - Free Report) . The overall positive narrative for the quarter at this stage continues, and late-market trading is appreciating thusly.

Intel posted a solid Q2 earnings beat after the bell today on in-line revenues: 59 cents per share topped the Zacks consensus of 53 cents on revenue estimates of $13.5 billion, slightly beneath the $13.53 billion expected. Revenue forecasts for Q3 rose to $14.9 billion from the $14.58 billion estimate. Good numbers, they don't really approach the Microsoft quarter that reported yesterday. INTC shares were trading down 2.6% on the news. For more on Intel's Q2 earnings performance, click here.

American Express also outperformed expectations after the bell, putting up $2.10 per share on $8.24 billion. These numbers improved on the Zacks consensus $1.92 and $8.21 billion, respectively. Operating expenses were way down year over year, much of which was due to the $1 billion sale of the company's Costco portfolio. AXP also reaffirmed guidance for fiscal 2016 and 2017, and the styock rose in late trading 2%.

Qualcomm brought a big beat for its fiscal Q3, posting earnings of $1.03, well ahead of the 83 cents of the Zacks consensus estimate. Revenues of $6.03 billion well outpaced the $5.55 billion expected. Guidance for fiscal Q4 rose to a range of $5.4-6.2 billion, pushing a high range beyond our consensus $5.76 billion. Qualcomm's balance sheet looks good, as well; QCOM shares shot up 6% upon the announcement. To read more on Qualcomm's Q3 earnings, please click here.
