The story so far
The jump was anchored by stronger‑than‑expected earnings from Coca‑Cola and Sherwin‑Williams; Coca‑Cola’s quarterly revenue beat expectations and Sherwin‑Williams posted earnings that outperformed analysts, lifting those stocks and the broader market, according to Benzinga and qz.com. Investor’s Business Daily highlighted two defensive Dow stocks that surged ahead, showing divergent performance within the index.
Yet the chip sell‑off and broader market volatility signal that the rally rests on a narrow earnings base.
