Check out the companies making headlines before the bell. Disney — Shares were down about 1% after the media giant reported quarterly results that beat analyst expectations, thanks in part to strong performance at its streaming unit. The company earned $1.39 per share, excluding items, on revenue of $23.16 billion. Analysts expected a profit of $1.19 per share on revenue of $23.07 billion, per LSEG. Airbnb — Weaker-than-expected revenue guidance for the third quarter hurt Airbnb shares in the premarket, losing nearly 14%. The company sees revenue in a range of $3.67 billion to $3.73 billion. Analysts expected a forecast of $3.84 billion. Reddit — The social news company added 1%% in premarket trading. Reddit posted second-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street estimates on the top and bottom lines, and also reported better-than-expected daily active user metrics. The company also forecasted its third-quarter revenue outlook above estimates, calling for $290 million to $310 million, while analysts surveyed by LSEG expected $279 million.

Lyft sees revenue ranging between $90 million and $95 million, while analysts expected a forecast of $103.4 million, according to StreetAccount. CVS Health — Shares of the drugstore chain slipped just 0.3% after CVS Health reported second-quarter earnings that surpassed expectations but cut its full-year profit outlook due to the impact of higher medical costs. CVS now expects 2024 adjusted earnings of $6.40 to $6.65 per share, lower than a previous guidance of at least $7 per share. Novo Nordisk — Shares of the Wegovy drugmaker slipped about 4% after reporting weaker-than-expected second-quarter results. Novo Nordisk also lowered its operating profit outlook for the full year.

Rivian — Shares of the electric vehicle company fell 9% after a second-quarter report showed a widening net loss. Rivian reported a net loss of $1.46 billion, compared to $1.2 billion last year.
