Hot stocks including Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) rose in after-hours trading after the company's reported second quarter results.

Pops

Ben Kallo, analyst at Baird, commented on Tesla on CNBC's Fast Money after Tesla's earnings and noted that there was some accounting around the new leasing programs which made the initial headline adjusted EPS of $0.20 come down to a profit of $0.05 per share. Analysts were looking for a loss of $0.17 per share. Shares gained 13.24% to $152.00 per share.

Groupon also rallied after reporting a Q2 loss of $0.02 per share compared to an expected profit of $0.02 per share. Also, the company announced guidance for the third quarter that was below Wall St. estimates but shares rallied as the company announced a new CEO in Erik Lefkosky and a $300 million share buyback. Shares rose 20.07% after hours to $10.47 per share.

Drops
