Coca-Cola earned an adjusted 48 cents per share for the first quarter, six cents above estimates, with revenue also above forecasts. Global case volume did fall short of estimates, although the company delivered a better-than-expected quarter in the European market.
McDonald's earnings missed on both the top and bottom lines.
Housing data will also be in focus, with the FHFA house price index for February showing a 0.7 percent increase from the previous month. Analysts polled by Reuters expected a 0.3 percent gain.
Existing home sales data for March at 10:00 a.m. ET is expected to show a second consecutive monthly increase, to just over 5 million, broadly matching the average monthly reading since last summer.
In an encouraging sign that the housing market is picking up, total mortgage application volume rose 2.3 percent week to week on a seasonally adjusted basis for the week ending April 17th, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).
