After the bell Thursday, Q1 earnings season has accelerated to a pace we should all get used to for the next three weeks or so. Major companies like Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Schlumberger (SLB), Starbucks (SBUX) and Skechers (SKX) are among those companies posting results after the bell. In some cases, even putting up better-than-expected sales numbers has still resulted in a late-trading sell-off. Let's start with both Alphabet and Microsoft -- both of which posted higher revenues than expected and brought admirable year-over-year growth. Yet earnings misses are likely generating plenty of questions in the companies' conference calls going on at this hour: GOOGL and MSFT Shares Fall After Earnings Misses Oil & gas major Schlumberger reported better-than-expected earnings even though revenue growth for the year fell 36.6 percent.

As a result, late traders rewarded SKX stock following a 2.6 percent gain in regular Thursday trading: Skechers (SKX) Stock Gains on Record Q1 Earnings and Revenue Results Keep your browser dialed into Zacks.com for all your Q1 earnings-related needs going forward.Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
