Stocks end week with gains; GE rises, Intel falls By MATTHEW CRAFT AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Better earnings from General Electric and Morgan Stanley helped the stock market inch higher Friday, as major indexes closed out their third straight week of gains. GE led the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average after the conglomerate reported stronger quarterly earnings, thanks to orders from Brazil, Angola and other developing countries. Profits increased at all seven of its industrial segments, including oil and gas, energy management, aviation and transportation. GE climbed 74 cents to $22.04. The Dow gained 53.68 points to end at 13,649.70. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.04 points to 1,485.98, while the Nasdaq composite fell 1.30 points to 3,134.70. Even though investors had plenty of news to digest, trading was largely quiet. “Earnings always matter,” said Rex Macey, the chief investment officer of Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors in Atlanta. “But just because
we’re in the middle of earnings season doesn’t mean we’re going to get huge market moves.” This earnings season is off to a good start so far. Of the 67 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported, 43 have trumped analysts’ estimates. Solid results this week from JPMorgan Chase and others, along with encouraging news on housing and

Norwegian Cruise Line soared 30 percent in its first day of trading, the top performance of the three companies making their public debut on Friday.

Five companies raised a total of $1.8 billion through initial public offerings this week, making it the best week for IPOs since early October, according to the data provider Ipreo. American Express fell 96 cents to $59.78. Hefty charges tied to the credit card issuer’s plan to cut jobs and reorganize some business lines hurt results, and revenue fell short of estimates. Analysts forecast that
companies in the S&P 500 will report a 4 percent increase in fourth-quarter earnings over the same period the year before, according to a report out Friday from S&P Capital IQ. They say banks and other financial firms should have the strongest profit growth of any industry. Technology companies like Intel are expected to struggle. Among other companies in the news: — Capital One lost 7 percent after reporting revenue and earnings that fell short of analysts’ estimates. The bank and credit-card company also lowered its forecast for revenue in the months to come, and many brokerages quickly responded by cutting their outlook for the company’s stock. Capital One sank $4.60 to $56.99. — Life Technologies, a maker of genetic testing equipment, soared 11 percent following reports that it’s considering putting itself up for sale. The company’s board said it has hired Deutsche Bank Securities and the investment bank Moelis & Co. Life Technologies’ stock jumped $5.82 to $60.79.
