Only about two dozen companies survived a punishing session Wednesday on Wall Street. Specifically, 25 of the S&P’s more than 500 constituents finished in positive territory, while the S&P 500 tumbled 1.8% to finish at 2,887.61, as fears about an economic slowdown gripped Wall Street.
Here are the 25 S&P components, the majority of which are real-estate companies, that managed to post a gain on the session, led by Lennar Corp. after the home builder delivered third-quarter results that topped analysts forecasts: All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 declined on Wednesday, led by a 2.6% skid in the energy sector XLE, -2.46% and a 2.1% tumble in the financial sector XLE, -2.46% , as yields of government bonds, which move inversely to prices, slumped.
