Stocks Slip on Profit-Taking, Poorly Received Earnings

EQUITIES

US equities slipped into the close Friday, shedding around 0.2-0.3% to remain within the weeks range. Profit taking amid negative received earnings was largely responsible, with updates from IBM and Intel prompted large losses for both names.

122 stocks in the S&P 500 report earnings next week, amounting to 36% of the index by market cap. Of that 36%, half of that is made up of just 5 companies: Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Facebook and Visa.
