Oct 29 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq scored a record closing high and the S&P 500 rose on Tuesday, while the Dow fellas investors digested a host of corporate earnings and awaited Google-parent Alphabet's GOOGL.O results that came after the market close.
Alphabet, one of the so-called "Magnificent Seven" megacap technology stocks, reported quarterly revenue that beat estimates.
This is the busiest week for S&P 500 earnings in the quarter, with eyes on five of the "Magnificent Seven" companies that are reporting results.
The group's results will be crucial to determining whether Wall Street can sustain the optimism around technology and artificial intelligence that has lifted indexes to record highs this year.
"I think one of the things the market is digesting is the idea of some degree of convergence in earnings growth between the high fliers - the Magnificent Seven that are obviously very high in terms of market weighting - versus the rest of the market," said Bill Merz, head of Capital Markets Research for U.S. Bank's asset management group.
