NEW YORK — U.S. stocks recovered on Thursday, October 15, as investors reassessed technology valuations and responded to corporate earnings reports.
The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 7,744.06, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.1% to 52,177.69. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.1%, and the Russell 2000 index of smaller companies advanced 1.4%, according to The Associated Press.
The rebound followed a period of market uncertainty linked to concerns about the sustainability of the artificial intelligence investment boom. Technology-related losses earlier in the session eased as trading progressed.
Corporate earnings also helped support investor sentiment, with market participants evaluating whether companies can maintain profit growth amid changing economic conditions.
Despite Thursday’s gains, the broader weekly picture remained mixed. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down for the week, while the Dow was higher. The figures highlight how a single session’s recovery does not necessarily indicate a lasting change in market direction.

Investors are likely to continue watching earnings announcements, inflation data, interest-rate expectations and developments affecting major technology companies.
For individual investors, daily market movements are only one part of the picture. Long-term performance also depends on company fundamentals, portfolio diversification, investment time horizons and personal risk tolerance.
Markets remain unpredictable, and a rebound does not guarantee further gains.
