NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are falling again, this time after the country’s largest retailer reported profits that came up short of Wall Street’s expectations. The S&P 500 fell 0.5% in early trading Thursday and was on track for a fifth straight modest loss since setting an all-time high last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 215 points, and the Nasdaq composite was down 0.5%. Walmart weighed on the market after reporting a weaker profit than analysts expected. Big Tech stocks are under even more pressure to deliver stronger profits amid criticism that their stock prices ran too high, too fast.
