Analyst Update: Takeover Bid, Quarterly Earnings, Contract and Lawsuit Settlement

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

The U.S. markets extended their gains for a third session on Friday with the S&P 500 adding up its second best week in almost two years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 17,804.80, up 0.15%, the NASDAQ Composite edged 0.36% higher at 4,765.38, and the S&P 500 advanced 0.46% to close the session at 2,070.65. The rally in the U.S. stocks was fueled by the Federal Reserve's assurance on Wednesday to take a patient approach towards raising interest rates, which calmed the investors over the policy outlook. On the other hand, the European markets ended Friday's session on a mixed note as Italian banking and healthcare stocks weighed down the wider benchmarks. The Asian markets extended the previous day's gain on Friday and ended on a positive note boosted by the momentum on Wall Street following the reassurance from Federal Reserve that interest rates would be hiked no sooner than mid-2015.
