:clap:U.S. stocks fell on Wednesday as shares of heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar and semiconductor companies tumbled after they reported earnings, ending the S&P 500′s four-session streak of record high finishes.
Results from Caterpillar Inc and Boeing Co, two Dow components, illustrated the quarter’s mixed picture of corporate results and outlooks, which have some investors worried.
