Stock market today: Wall Street indexes edge lower as Alphabet jumps and Eli Lilly slumps

NEW YORK — U.S. stock indexes gave up an early gain and ended slightly lower following a mixed set of profit reports from giants like Google’s parent company and Eli Lilly. The S&P 500 slipped 0.3% Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.6% from its record set the day before. Alphabet rallied after becoming the latest “Magnificent Seven” stock to deliver strong profit.

One of the few stocks to hurt the index more was Eli Lilly, which tumbled 7.7% amid concerns about two of the drug maker’s blockbuster products: diabetes treatment Mounjaro and weight loss counterpart Zepbound.

Among the biggest movers on Wall Street, Reddit soared 42.1% after the company surprised investors and analysts and reported a profit.
