MarketWatch 7/22/10 Thur. 4:30 pm by Donna Kardos says U.S. stocks climbed broadly Thursday following strong earnings from Caterpillar, 3M and United Parcel Service, while better-than-expected data on U.S. existing-home sales and euro-zone economic activity also provided a boost. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 201.77 points, or 1.99%, to 10322.30, marking its biggest one-day gain since July 7 and its highest close since July 15. Boeing led the measure's gains with a jump of 3.42, or 5.4%, to 66.60, after European rival aircraft manufacturer Airbus raised its order intake target for 2010. Among the Dow's earnings reporters, 3M jumped 2.45, or 3%, to 84.75, after the manufacturing giant posted a 43% jump in second-quarter earnings while its sales rebounded to levels last seen two years ago. AT&T added 59 cents, or 2.4%, to 25.51, after the telecommunications company reported a 26% increase in second-quarter earnings, benefiting from iPhone activations. Caterpillar climbed 1.13, or 1.7%, to 68. The industrial giant posted a 91% surge in quarterly profit and boosted its full-year earnings outlook. However, Travelers fell 58 cents, or 1.2%, to 49.29. Record claims costs from storms in the Midwest caused the insurer's second-quarter profit to fall 9.5%. The company also pared back the high end of its estimate for full-year earnings. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 58.56, or 2.68%, to 2245.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 24.08, or 2.25%, to 1093.67.

UPS jumped 3.14, or 5.2%, to 63.15, after the shipping giant posted a 90% surge in second-quarter profit on higher package volume, revenue growth and substantial margin improvement, and boosted its 2010 earnings guidance.

The gains followed encouraging economic data from the euro zone--its composite purchasing managers index and industrial orders both unexpectedly rose--as well as a smaller-than-expected drop in U.S. existing-home sales.In addition, investors found Thursday's round of data particularly encouraging because a number of bellwether companies posted revenue that topped analysts' estimates and climbed from the prior year, reversing a trend seen in recent days of companies missing revenue expectations even as their earnings beat estimates.
