Check out the companies making headlines before the bell.

Alphabet — The Google parent popped more than 6% after topping Wall Street’s second-quarter earnings expectations, fueled by growth in its cloud-computing segment. The company also announced that its chief financial officer, Ruth Porat, would step into a new role as president and chief investment officer.

Microsoft — The software giant lost about 4% after reporting slowing revenue growth within its cloud business during its fiscal fourth quarter and called for lower-than-expected guidance. Microsoft, however, did beat Wall Street’s estimates, reporting earnings of $2.69 per share on $56.19 billion in revenue. Analysts polled by Refinitiv anticipated earnings per share of $2.55 on revenue of $55.47 billion.

PacWest — Shares of the regional bank stock jumped more than 28% on news that it will be acquired by Banc of California to create a new firm called Pacific Western. Banc of California shares added about 6%.

Snap — The Snapchat parent shed more than 18% after issuing weak guidance for the current quarter.

That beat expectations for a 4-cent loss and revenues of $1.05 billion, per Refinitiv.

Coca-Cola – The beverage giant saw shares climb more than 2% in premarket trading after the company reported quarterly earnings and revenue that topped estimates. Its organic revenue increased 11% in the quarter, fueled by higher prices. Coca-Cola also raised its full-year outlook following the strong report.

Boeing — The aircraft manufacturer rose more than 3% after it posted a revenue beat for the second quarter. Boeing’s losses per share also came in lower than expected. The company’s results were driven by an uptick in airplane deliveries.

Free cash flows topped expectation, which the company said it would use to pay down debt.
