Several major U.S. drugmakers will report second-quarter results this week, with investors eager for fresh details from Pfizer Inc , Merck & Co and others on their efforts to develop vaccines and therapies against the novel coronavirus.

Globally, drugmakers are expected to increase second-quarter earnings per share by 2%, after they rose 17% in the first quarter, according to Cowen & Co.

Pfizer, which has released early data on its vaccine candidate being developed with German biotech BioNTech SE , will kick off the week of drugmaker earnings on Tuesday morning. Gilead’s antiviral treatment, remdesivir, has become a key weapon for many countries after the intravenously administered medicine helped shorten hospital recovery times in a U.S. trial.
