Southwest Airlines — The airline came in five cents a share above Street estimates, with adjusted quarterly profit of 93 cents per share. Revenue was slightly shy of estimates, however.

Revenue was in line with forecasts, but it did post its first year-over-year decline in profit and revenue since 2001. The company predicted a return to profit growth in the current quarter, helped by iPhone 7 sales.
Chipotle Mexican Grill — The restaurant chain saw revenue fall shy of analysts' estimates for its latest quarter, with comparable sales falling a greater-than-expected 21.9 percent. Chipotle gave a somewhat optimistic current-quarter projection for comparable sales, however, saying they would come in down in the low single digits.

Express Scripts — Express Scripts matched estimates with quarterly profit of $1.74 per share, but narrowed its full-year guidance while raising the midpoint of that forecast. The pharmacy benefit manager is projecting profit of $1.84 to $1.90 per share, above consensus forecasts of $1.74 a share.
