U.S. stocks drifted to another record following some mixed profit reports, as General Motors (GM) and other big U.S. companies give updates on how much President Donald Trump’s tariffs are hurting or helping them.
The S&P 500 rose 0.1% Tuesday to beat the all-time high it set a day earlier. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.4%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.4% from its record.
General Motors dropped 8.1% despite reporting a stronger profit than expected, as it still sees a $4 billion to $5 billion hit this year because of tariffs. Homebuilders soared following their better-than-forecast profit reports.
