NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks closed modestly higher Monday, helping the S&P 500 to extend its winning streak to the longest in six months.
Estimate-beating results from a number of companies on Monday boosted sentiment amid thin volumes on Wall Street. More than 4.8 billion stocks changed hands across Nasdaq and NYSE exchanges, the lowest number this year, according to FactSet.
Reporting ahead of the bell Monday, Halliburton Co. (HAL) , Hasbro, Inc. (HAS) and Kimberly-Clark Corp. (KMB) beat Wall Street's expectations. Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) shares rose in aftermarket trade after earnings topped estimates.
