Humana (HUM) – The health insurer reported a quarterly profit of $3.08 per share, beating the $2.81 consensus estimate, with revenue above estimates as well.

McKesson (MCK) – The pharmaceutical distributor earned $4.80 per share for its latest quarter, compared to a consensus estimate of $3.87 a share.

Twitter (TWTR) – Twitter said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that a board committee has determined that the company’s current management structure should remain in place, seen as a reprieve for CEO Jack Dorsey.

PayPal (PYPL) – PayPal reported quarterly earnings of $1.07 per share, beating the consensus estimate of 94 cents a share.
