We’re actually seeing pre-market indexes in the green at this hour today, in the latter third of a month that is on pace for the biggest monthly decline since October 2016. We are also within that seasonal period where trading volume is down while vacation days are being spent. And as we wrap up Q2 earnings season, we still have a few notable companies worth hearing from.Medical devices major Medtronic MDT reported mixed results ahead of the opening bell today: the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold)-rated company posted a 4-cent beat to $1.12 per share on its bottom line, whereas revenues in the quarter reached $7.39 billion, shy of the $7.44 billion expected. Two of Medtronic’s stronger departments — Cardiac & Vascular and Minimally Invasive Therapies — rose 6% and 3% year over year, respectively.Luxury home builder Toll Brothers TOL beat expectations on both top and bottom lines, posting 87 cents per share on $1.50 billion in revenues compared to the 68 cents per share and $1.48 billion analysts had been looking for.
