  • Stocks continue to scale off early Friday highs as accounts square up positions ahead of the weekend, not to mention a heavy slate of corporate earnings next week.
  • Over half of the companies in the S&P have yet to report earnings this cycle, some names expected next Monday include: Aon PLC, Colgate-Palmolive, Spirit Airlines, Hertz, NANO Nuclear Energy, New York Community Bank, HCA Healthcare, Arbor Realty Trust, CenterPoint Energy, ON Semiconductor, Ford Motor Co, Waste Management, Crane Co, Cadence Design System, Welltower, Trex and SBA Communications.
  • Currently, the DJIA is down 216.12 points (-0.51%) at 42155.87, S&P E-Minis up 4 points (0.07%) at 5853, Nasdaq up 135.8 points (0.7%) at 18550.74.
  • Little has changed since the first half as Information Technology, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors led gainers while Financials and Utility sectors continued to underperform. Western Digital +5.32% after topping quarterly profit estimates on strong cloud computing demand, Enphase +2.33% while Intel gained 2%. Of note, Itel announced plans to invest some $28B in two chip factories in Ohio.
  • Interactive media and entertainment shares supported the Communication Services sector: Warner Bros +1.06%, Meta +1.24%.

  • Meanwhile, Financials and Utility sectors continued to underperform, financial services and insurance names weighing on the former: Principal Financial Grp -7.35%, Hartford -6.78%, while Aflac traded -2.41%.
