Stocks rise after strong SpaceX and Capital One profit reports; Netflix shares fall
Photo: APU.S. stocks rose Wednesday after strong profit reports from SpaceX, Capital One Financial and other large companies lifted the market. The S&P 500 gained 0.6% and moved closer to the all-time high it set earlier this month, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.7%. Netflix, which announced layoff plans last week, posted a third-quarter profit above Wall Street's expectations, but worries about its revenue growth pulled its shares lower.
The right-leaning Washington Times leads with a drifting market, stressing that strong reports from SpaceX and Capital One were weighed down by updates from Netflix and AT&T that investors found disappointing. The left-leaning Washington Post leads with Netflix's profit beat and its layoff plans, while noting that revenue growth worries pushed its shares lower. The alternative AP leads with the market gain and the S&P 500's move toward its record high. All three cite the SpaceX and Capital One profit reports, but only the right-leaning piece mentions AT&T, and the excerpts quote no sources.
