Oct 22 (Reuters) - U.S. stock indexes slipped on Tuesday as rising Treasury yields impacted rate-sensitive sectors, while investors continued to evaluate earnings to assess the health of American companies.
GE Aerospace GE.N slumped 7.8% despite raising its profit forecast for 2024, as persistent supply constraints impacted its revenue. It pulled the broader Industrials index .SPLRCI 1.2% lower.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 83.20 points, or 0.19%, to 42,848.40, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 16.77 points, or 0.29%, to 5,837.21 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC lost 30.86 points, or 0.17%, to 18,509.14.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year note US10YT=RR rose as high as 4.222%, continuing a steady climb since early October after a bumper jobs report led investors to dial back expectations for the central bank toease interest rates throughthe year.
Rate-sensitive megacap stocks slipped, with Apple AAPL.O falling 0.9% and Nvidia NVDA.O down 0.44%, weighing on the broader technology sector .SPLRCT, which lost 0.2%.
Microsoft MSFT.O, however, jumped 1.9%, bucking broader sector weakness.
"During the earnings season, you often get this kind of choppiness, but there's also increased uncertainty relative to the interest rate direction," said Chuck Carlson, CEO at Horizon Investment Services.
"Investors are trying to calibrate exactly what they think might be happening on the interest rate front."
Stocks continued to retreatfrom record highs, asinvestors were cautiousfollowing six consecutive weeks of advances for major indexes, waiting for more earnings to see if Wall Street's rally could be sustained.
The next few weeks are likely to be volatile for equity markets, as investors scrutinize company earnings, fresh economic data and results of the U.S. election, followed by a central bank meeting.
Traders are pricing in a 91% chance of a 25-basis-point interest-rate cut in November, according to CME's FedWatch.
Among other earnings, VerizonVZ.N lost 4.5% as the telecomgiant missed estimates for third-quarter revenue.
3M MMM.N slipped 0.5%, reversing its premarket gains, despiteraising the low end of its full-year adjusted profit forecast.
Meanwhile, GeneralMotors GM.N leapt 9.1% after the legacy carmaker's third-quarter results beat Wall Street estimates, while LockheedMartin LMT.N dipped 5.2% after results.
Rate-sensitive homebuilding stocks slipped, with the PHLX Housing index .HGX dropping 2.7%, dragged down by a 6% fall in shares of PulteGroup PHM.N despite the company beating profit and revenue estimates.
"The earnings themselves have been pretty good, it's just the companies highly sensitive to interest rates are probably going to find a bit of headwind right now as investors sort out the whole interest rate story," Carlson said.
Baker Hughes BKR.O and Texas Instruments TXN.O are scheduledto report earnings afterthe bell.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 2.03-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.61-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
