Apple adds nearly 50 points to Dow's 332-point rally after report that Buffett bought 75 million shares

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slashed an opening 150-point drop to close sharply higher Friday, on the back of a pop in Apple Inc. . Shares of Apple contributed the most to the price-weighted Dow after a report from CNBC late Thursday said Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. acquired some 75 million additional shares of the iPhone maker during the first quarter. Apple's stock closed at a record, up 3.9%, or $6.94, at $183.83, contributing about 48 points to the Dow, with a $1 move in any one of the blue-chip gauge's 30 components equating to a 6.89-point swing. The closed up 332 points, or 1.4%, at 24,262. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index ended up about 1.3% at 2,663.42, while the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced by 1.7% at 7,209.62. Apple is the largest company by market value and tends to have an outsize influence on market-value weighted indexes like the Nasdaq and S&P 500.

Apple stock ends at record, sees best weekly gain in six years

Shares of Apple rallied on Friday, with the stock hitting a record after it was reported that Warren Buffett's company bought 75 million shares of the iPhone maker over the first quarter. The stock jumped 3.9%, bringing its week-to-date advance to 13.3%. That stands as the biggest one-week percentage gain for the Cupertino, Calif.-based tech giant since October 2011. Most of the stock's gains this week followed the release of its quarterly results on Tuesday, which trounced expectations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.4% while the S&P 500 was up 1.3% and the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 1.7%.

Apple's stock posts biggest-ever 5-day price gain, gives Dow a 148-point boost

With Apple Inc.'s stock surging 3.9% to a record close Friday, the biggest weekly gain in 6 1/2 years, the stock has also posted the biggest five-day price gain in its history. The stock has run up 13.3% this week, the biggest five-day percentage gain since the 14.1% jump during the five days ending Oct. 14, 2011, after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and Warren Buffett said he boosted his stake in the company. The $21.51 price gain this week is the biggest (split adjusted) for a five-day stretch since the stock started trading in December 1980. The price gain provided a 1480-point boost to the Dow Jones Industrial Average's price this week. The Dow closed Friday up 332 points, but lost 49 points on the week.

Stocks end sharply higher as Dow notches best day in three weeks

The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 332 points, or 1.3%, to 24,262. The Nasdaq Composite Index picked up 122 points, or 1.6%, to 7,210.

Apple stock on track to officially end correction eight sessions after it started

Apple Inc. shares are in record territory on Friday, which would officially bring the stock out of a correction if the gains hold through the close. Apple entered correction territory on April 24. The previous correction, which began on Feb. 2, took 24 sessions to get out of, but this one is on pace to last only 8. Shares are up 3.9% in afternoon trading after Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s Warren Buffett told CNBC that he bought 75 million additional shares in the first quarter. Apple reported earnings on Tuesday and while its iPhone unit sales fell short of expectations, the services business showed strong growth. Apple's stock is up 25% over the past 12 months, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average , of which Apple is a component, is up 57%.

Dow's nearly 400-point intraday surge yanks blue-chip average out of negative territory for the week

A surge of around 400 points on Friday afternoon for the Dow Jones Industrial Average has erased a weekly slide for the blue-chip gauge. The Dow was most recently up 397 points, or 1.7%, at 24,322, with less than 2 hours left of regular trade. The daily jump was sufficient to push the benchmark in to positive territory for the week, up less than 0.1%, along with the Nasdaq Composite Index , which was showing a daily advance of 1.9% at 7,219, with a weekly return of 1.5%. Gains for the broader market, including the S&P 500 index , which also bounced back into the green for the week, were largely driven by a record run-up in shares of Apple Inc after Warren Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway Inc. acquired a further 75 million shares of the iPhone maker, underpinning support in the tech giant. Because Apple is the largest company by market value, its moves can ripple through the broader market, including the technology-laden Nasdaq index.

Dow's 300-point rally puts blue-chip benchmark on track for best 1-day rise in 3 weeks

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was trading around its highest level of the session Friday afternoon, putting the gauge on track to book its best daily return in about three weeks. The Dow [ was up 302 points, or 1.3%, at 24,232, at last check, which would be, if it holds, the sharpest daily return since April 10, when the average climbed 429 points, or 1.8%. The jump comes after a weaker-than-expected jobs report for April showed that 164,000 jobs were created during the month, less than an expected 188,000. However, the labor-market reading may have been read as unlikely to sway the Federal Reserve's monetary policy plans, pushing it to raise corporate borrowing costs at a more rapid clip than the two more rate hikes expected in 2018. The S&P 500 index, meanwhile, was up 1.1% at 2,658, while the Nasdaq Composite Index rallied by 1.5% at 7,192, with the benchmarks all getting a pop from gains in Apple Inc. , after a late-Thursday report that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought 75 million shares of the iPhone maker in the first three months of the year, a move that added to bullish sentiment in the market.
