Read MoreHide Full Article

After the closing bell this Tuesday, another slew of Q2 earnings results have been unloaded onto the Street. We pick up a couple of them here: videogame maker Electronic Arts (EA - Free Report) and smartwatch maker Fitbit have posted quarterly numbers after regular-day trading ended.

Fitbit's Q2 earnings results were better than expected on both top and bottom lines: earnings per share of 7 cents on sales of $585 million beat the 4 cents per share and $580 million expected in the Zacks consensus, respectively. This 43% positive surprise is Fitbit's 5th successive quarterly beat, which had averaged out to 167.9% per quarter. For more news on FIT's Q2 earnings, click here.

Electronic Arts posted an even bigger beat on its Q1 2017 top and bottom lines: the videogame company posted a loss of 8 cents per shares versus a loss of 14 cents in the Zacks consensus, and sales of $682 million easily bested our $651 million estimate. However, EA projected weaker guidance than expected for fiscal 2017 (ending next March). As a result, EA shares are down following the announcement. For more on EA's earnings, click here.
