Soda giant Coca-Cola is expected to report second-quarter adjusted earnings of 61 cents per share on $9.99 billion in revenue, according to analysts polled by Bloomberg. Organic revenue growth will be watched closely after jumping 6% in the first quarter, much to Wall Street’s surprise.

Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg anticipate Chipotle will report second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.76 per share on $1.41 billion in revenue. The options market is implying a 6% one-day move following the report.
In addition, social media company Snap will deliver its quarterly results after the market close. Daily active user (DAU) growth will be the key focus for investors. Snap is expected to report an adjusted earnings loss of 10 cents per share on $360.32 million in revenue. Shares of Snap have been on fire this year, rallying 158%.
