On the news front, the company reported Q2 results after market close on July 30 that significantly exceeded expectations. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $2.85, representing a 72.73% year-over-year increase and beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.34 by 112.69%. Revenue reached $959 million, up 39.4% year-over-year, surpassing the consensus estimate of $883 million.

Despite the comprehensive earnings beat and raised guidance, the stock experienced substantial selling pressure.
