Snowflake (SNOW) – Snowflake lost 11 cents per share for the first quarter, smaller than the 16 cents a share loss that analysts were anticipating. The cloud computing company’s revenue also topped forecasts, but shares fell 3.3% in the premarket as losses grow at a similar rate as its sales.

Despite the beat, Dollar General shares fell 1.5% in premarket trading.

Medtronic (MDT) – The medical device maker beat estimates by 8 cents a share, with quarterly earnings of $1.50 per share. Revenue beat estimates as well, as medical procedures rebounded amid a receding pandemic. Medtronic also raised its dividend by 9%.

American Eagle (AEO) – American Eagle beat estimates by 2 cents a share, with quarterly profit of 48 cents per share. Revenue was slightly above Wall Street projections.
