Dow ends at record as stocks post mixed finish
U.S. equity indexes finished the day mixed, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing at a record, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite slipped to lower levels. The Dow, helped by gains in the industrials and healthcare sectors, rose 0.2% to 22,207. The S&P 500, on the other hand, was dragged down by poor performances of healthcare and consumer discretionary stocks, finishing the day 0.1% lower at 2,496. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 0.5% to 6,429. In individual stocks, Equifax fell 2.4% lower following the disclosure of a massive data breach last week. Home builder William Lyon Homes fell 5.8% as hedge fund Paulson&Co said it would divest its stake in the business.
