Analyst Update: Financial Results, Business Outlook, Monthly Sales Numbers, and Acquisitions

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

The U.S. stocks fell for the second straight session on Monday, weighed down by the renewed sell-off in energy shares after oil prices touched fresh lows. Nervousness ahead of the fourth quarter 2014 corporate earnings season also kept investors on the sidelines. The S&P 500 index fell 0.81% to close at 2,028.26 and was down by around 3% from its 52-week high hit on December 29, 2014. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished 0.54% lower at 17,640.84, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 0.84% at 4,664.71. Meanwhile, European markets ended higher on Monday as slumping oil prices lifted stocks of companies that benefit from lower fuel prices, such as airlines, which also helped offset the decline in energy shares. Asian markets were mostly lower on Monday, following a downbeat session on Wall Street on Friday.
