Stocks edge lower, ending three-day rally

U.S. stocks fell on Friday, snapping a three-day winning streak as some surprisingly weak quarterly updates from companies spooked investors.

The S&P 500 fell 0.9%, a day after the broad benchmark jumped 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.4%, recently down 136 points, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 1.9%. Despite Friday’s losses, all three indexes posted weekly gains.
