Box – Box reported a breakeven quarter on an adjusted basis, compared to analyst expectations of a 2 cents per share loss. The cloud computing company’s revenue also beat estimates, but customer retention rates fell and Box kept its full-year earnings outlook unchanged.

PVH – PVH beat estimates by 22 cents with adjusted quarterly earnings of $2.10 per share, with revenue also beating forecasts. However, the company behind clothing brands like Calvin Klein also cut its full-year profit forecast for the second time this year, with results coming under pressure from the U.S.-China trade dispute and unrest in Hong Kong.

Walt Disney – Disney’s projections for its Disney+ streaming service may have been too modest, after 43% of households responding to a UBS survey said they intended to subscribe to the service. Disney’s own projections have predicted 20% to 30% of households would subscribe by 2024.

Guess – Guess reported adjusted quarterly profit of 38 cents per share, 9 cents above estimates, with the clothing maker’s revenue also exceeding Wall Street forecasts. The company credits stronger sales and improved expense management, among other factors.
