Stocks moved higher at the start of trading on Thursday – Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – (April 21, 2011) Clearlease.com Reports Stocks moved higher at the start of trading on Thursday, extending the substantial upward move that was seen in the previous session. The major averages all moved to the upside, with the Dow rising to its best intraday level in almost three years.
The initial strength in the market came on the heels of another batch of largely upbeat earnings news, although buying interest has remained somewhat subdued following the release of a Labor Department report showing a smaller than expected drop in weekly jobless claims.
The Labor Department said initial jobless claims fell to 403,000 in the week ended April 16th from the previous week’s revised figure of 416,000, while economists had expected jobless claims to fall to 390,000 from the 412,000 originally reported for the previous week.
However, shares of Apple (AAPL) have shown a notable upward move after the iPad and iPhone maker reported much better than expected second quarter earnings on significant sales growth.
Apple reported second quarter earnings of $6.40 per share on net sales of $24.67 billion compared to earnings of $3.33 per share on net sales of $13.50 billion in the year-ago quarter. Analysts had expected the company to earn $5.36 per share on $23.34 billion in net sales.
Meanwhile, General Electric (GE) has moved lower despite reporting first quarter adjusted earnings of $0.33 per share on revenues of $38.45 billion compared to analyst estimates for earnings of $0.28 per share on revenues of $34.64 billion.
GE also raised its quarterly dividend by $0.01 to $0.15 per share effective in the third quarter. This is the third dividend increase declared in the last 12 months, the company said.
A number of other big-name companies have also recently released their quarterly results, including Dow components America Express (AXP), DuPont (DD), McDonald’s (MCD), Verizon (VZ), Honeywell (HON) and Travelers (TRV).
Health insurance stocks are seeing considerable strength in early trading, with UnitedHealth (UNH) leading the way higher after reporting much better than expected first quarter earnings and raising its full year earnings guidance.
While brokerage, gold, and oil service stocks are also seeing early strength, most of the other major sectors are showing more modest moves.
The major averages have recently pulled back off their highs for the young session but are currently posting modest gains. The Dow is up 10.29 points or 0.1 percent at 12,463.83, the Nasdaq is up 8.59 points or 0.3 percent at 2,811.10 and the S&P 500 is up 4.52 points or 0.3 percent at 1,334.88.
