1. The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) saw 802,355 call contracts traded on Monday, compared to 497,551 put contracts. Both the single-session equity put/call ratio and the 21-day moving average arrived at 0.62.
2. Under Armour Inc (NYSE:UAA) reported a smaller-than-expected second-quarter loss of 3 cents per share on $1.1 billion in revenue. However, UAA stock is set to open with a 2.6% drop after running headlong into key technical resistance on Monday, as the athletic apparel name lowered its full-year sales forecast and unveiled a restructuring plan -- which includes layoffs. 
3. Shopify Inc (NYSE:SHOP) said its second-quarter revenue grew 75% to $151.7 million, while the e-tailer's adjusted net loss arrived at a slimmer-than-forecast 1 penny per share. After closing last night at $92.37, SHOP stock is up 11.6% in electronic trading, on track to open at a record high.
4. Pandora Media Inc. (NYSE:P) reported a smaller-than-forecast adjusted second-quarter loss of 21 cents per share on $376.8 million in revenue. A downwardly revised full-year revenue forecast and round of bearish brokerage notes is weighing on the streaming music stock, though, with Pandora shares set to open 2.8% lower.
5. Markit's PMI, ISM's manufacturing composite index, auto sales, and construction spending are due today. Honda Motor (HMC), IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX), Illumina (ILMN), Incyte (INCY), Lumber Liquidators (LL), Mazor Robotics (MZOR), Phillips 66 (PSX), Radian Group (RDN), and Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL) are some other names reporting earnings today.
