Stocks on Wall Street were mixed as the Dow closed only 200 or so points away from a high it has not reached since October 2007. A less-than-stellar consumer confidence reading for January stalled the advance early in the session, but the averages all rebounded and closed at or near their best levels of the day, though the Nasdaq was unable to hold in positive ground... ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the November S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city Home-Prices Index was up a seasonally adjusted 0.6% from the prior month, versus expectations for a 0.7% increase. On a year-over-year basis, the 20-city index rose 5.5%, which was nearly in-line with consensus. The Consumer Confidence reading for January fell to 58.6, versus expectations for a smaller decline to 64.0... COMPANY NEWS: Ford (F) reported quarterly results that beat expectations on both the top and bottom lines. However, concerns over Europe, where the company said it expects to lose about $2B in 2013, sent shares down 64c, or 4.64%, to $13.14... Pharma giants Pfizer (PFE) and Eli Lilly (LLY) both reported earnings that beat consensus estimates before the market opened and both rallied. Dow-member Pfizer led that index with a 3.2%, or 86c, advance to $27.70, while Lilly gained $1.68, or 3.19%, to $54.32... MAJOR MOVERS: Higher for the second straight day were shares of Hess (HES), up $5.63, or 9.01%, to $68.11 after gaining over 6% yesterday, and Keryx Biopharmaceuticals (KERX), up $2.30, or 38.01%, to $8.36 today after rising over 76% yesterday. Also higher after earnings reports were DR Horton (DHI), which gained $2.51, or 11.78%, to $23.82, and Valero (VLO), which added $4.96, or 12.78%, to $43.77. Among the noteworthy losers was VMware (VMW), down $21.18, or 21.54%, to $77.14 after its guidance disappointed the Street and the stock was downgraded by numerous firms. EMC (EMC), which holds a majority ownership stake in VMware and also reported last night, also lost $1.02, or 4.05%, to $24.18. Also lower were shares of NetGear (NTGR), down $4.45, or 10.9%, to $36.38 after agreeing to acquire Sierra Wireless's (SWIR) AirCard business assets for $138M in cash. Sierra Wireless (SWIR) advanced $1.69, or 18.45%, to $10.85 after the news... INDICES: The Dow was up 72.49, or 0.52%, to 13,954.42; the Nasdaq was down 0.64, or 0.02%, to 3,153.66; and the S&P 500 was up 7.66, or 0.51%, to 1,507.84. | |
