Stocks extend Fed-fueled rally

Stocks are back in rally mode after the Fed hit pause on a rate hike. How much farther can this market go? Catch The Final Round at 4 p.m. ET with Jen Rogers and markets correspondent Nicole Sinclair.

Winners and losers

Stocks in the red today include Herman Miller as the high-end furniture maker’s earnings and revenue missed estimates, Axovant Sciences as rival Lundbeck’s Alzheimer’s drug with similar mechanism fails in a phase three trial, and Jabil Circuit, with the electronics company and Apple supplier slipping after quarterly profit falls 47% year over year.

Stocks on the move higher today include WCI Communities as the luxury home builder agreed to be bought by Lennar for $643 million, Autozone as earnings topped estimates and the autoparts retailer reported a double-digit increase in year-over-year earnings for the 40th straight quarter, and SeaWorld. After touching an all-time low, shares bouncing back as Citi upgraded the theme park operator to buy, citing an attractive risk/reward. Citi also said suspending the dividend would allow for new capital expenditures.
