Two companies that investors will watch closely are AeroVironment, a defense technology manufacturer, and Concentrix, a provider of global business services. Both are slated to release quarterly financial results after the market close.

- AeroVironment (AVAV) - Estimated EPS: $1.48, Estimated Revenue: $557.37M
- Concentrix (CNXC) - Estimated EPS: $2.64, Estimated Revenue: $2.47B
