Netflix surged 7.4% after the company forecast a return to subscriber growth in the third quarter, while reporting a lower-than-expected 1 million subscribers in the second quarter.

Other high-growth stocks also extended gains after Netflix announced its forecast. Apple, Amazon and Microsoft gained anywhere from 1%-4.2%. Tesla rose 2% hours after, reporting a rise in quarterly profit.

Total profits of S&P 500 component companies are expected to rise 5.9% year-over-year in the second quarter, down from 6.8% forecast at the beginning of the quarter.
