WALL STREET EDGES DOWN WITH EARNINGS IN FOCUS, SMALL CAPS SHINE
The S&P 500 .SPX fell 0.16% and the Nasdaq composite .IXIC closed off 0.06% on Tuesday as investors digested the latest quarterly reports from large U.S. companies and waited for the next batch of megacap reports.
However, the Russell 2000 .RUT for the second day in a row, noticeably outperformed large-cap companies, with an 1% advance on Tuesday and Monday's gain of 1.7% vs 1.1% for the S&P.
From Tuesday morning's earnings crop, United Parcel Service UPS.N shipped investors to the exits at the fastest pace, closing down 12%.
UPS cut its 2024 operating margin target as new e-commerce customers - identified by industry experts and shoppers as Shein and Temu - flooded its network with slower, lower-profit shipments. This drove a shift from premium air services to less expensive ground service and from ground to more economical SurePost services, where UPS picks up packages and hands about 60% off to the U.S. Postal Service for final delivery.
General Motors GM.N shares ended down 6.5% after it indefinitely delayed its planned self-driving Origin vehicle while investors seem to shrug at its Q2 profit and revenue beat and its annual profit forecast increase.
Shares in water heater maker A. O. Smith AOS.N fell 9.4% after its quarterly earnings took a hit from higher steel prices and a slow recovery in U.S. home sales, its biggest market.
On the brighter side, shares of Sherwin-Williams SHW.N closed up 6.9% after the paint maker raised its 2024 adjusted its profit forecast although its Q2 net sales missed expectations.
Of the S&P 500's 11 major sectors, energy .SPNY was the biggest index point drag, while financials .SPSY was the biggest boost. The biggest percentage gainer was materials .SPLRCM, up 0.4%, while energy was the biggest percentage loser, off 1.6% as U.S. crude oil settled down 1.8%
