Stocks were little changed on Monday as Wall Street braced for the busiest week of the earnings season. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 44 points, while declines in the materials and real estate sectors kept the S&P 500 trading flat. The Nasdaq Composite was also trading around breakeven.
Boeing contributed the most to the Dow’s losses, falling 0.9% after The New York Times reported that workers at the company’s 787 jet plant have complained about shoddy production and bad safety practices.
More than 140 S&P 500 companies are scheduled to release their quarterly results this week, including Coca Cola, Procter & Gamble, United Technologies, Verizon, Twitter, Lockheed Martin and eBay. Facebook, Microsoft and Tesla Motors are also set to report later this week.
Halliburton and Kimberly-Clark are among the companies that reported better-than-expected quarterly results on Monday morning. Their shares rose 0.3% and 6.1%, respectively.
