Nasdaq-100 tumbles 2% as Facebook continues to weigh

The Nasdaq-100 slumped on Thursday, putting the index of large-capitalization stocks traded on the exchange on track for its seventh decline of the past eight sessions. The index sank 2.1%, and is down 4.4% thus far this week. According to FactSet, the PowerShares QQQ Trust , the largest exchange-traded fund to track the index, has seen $1.4 billion in outflows over the past week. That represents some of the highest outflows of any stock-based ETF over that time period. Recent weakness in the index has largely come on the back of Facebook Inc. . The social-media giant fell 2.4% on Thursday, extending a period of weakness that could represent its biggest one-week decline in about four years. Facebook, a major component of the Nasdaq 100, has been enduring a firestorm and stock selloff after data-mining company Cambridge Analytica reportedly used the personal details of 50 million Facebook users without authorization. On Wednesday night, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for the controversy during an interview with CNN, and said he'd be willing to testify before Congress. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.9% while the S&P 500 was off 1.8% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was off 2%.

Nasdaq-100 tumbles on Facebook drop, just one component in positive territory

The Nasdaq-100 fell broadly on Monday, with only one of the index's components in positive territory amid a sharp selloff driven by weakness in Facebook. The index lost 2.6% in its biggest one-day drop since Feb. 8. Of the Nasdaq 100's components, which is dominated by large-capitalization technology and internet stocks, only Ross Stores Inc. was higher on the day, up 0.2%. Facebook was the biggest decliner by far, shedding 6.3% and on track for its worst session in years. The stock came under heavy selling pressure over how it manages third-party access to its users' information, after saying a firm with ties to the 2016 Trump campaign improperly kept member data for years despite saying it had destroyed those records. Among other major drags to the index, Apple Inc. fell 1.9%, Amazon.com Inc. was down 2.4% and Alphabet Inc. , the parent company of Google, fell 3.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.6% on Monday, and all 30 of its components were lower. The S&P 500 was down 1.7%; all 11 primary S&P 500 sectors were in negative territory. The overall Nasdaq Composite Index lost 2.3%.

Ross Stores shares fall as company predicts slower pace of growth for 2018

Ross Stores Inc. shares fell more than 6% late Tuesday after the retailer beat fourth-quarter sales and earnings expectations but predicted a slower-than-expected pace of same-store sales growth for the year. Ross said it earned $451 million in the fourth quarter, or $1.19 a share, compared with $301 million, or 77 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Sales rose 16% to $4.1 billion, from $3.5 billion a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected earnings of 94 cents a share on sales of $3.96 billion. Comparable-store sales for the quarter rose 5% compared with a 4% gain for the same period in the prior year. Ross forecast same-store sales growth of 1% to 2% for fiscal 2018, which contrasts with expectations of growth around 3.5%, according to FactSet. The retailer projected per-share earnings between $3.86 and $4.03 for 2018. The analysts surveyed by FactSet expect EPS of $3.29 for the year. "While we are encouraged by our recent strong sales and earnings results, we again face our own challenging multi-year comparisons as well as a very competitive retail environment. As a result, although we hope to do better, we continue to take a prudent approach to forecasting our business in 2018," Chief Executive Barbara Rentler said in a statement. Ross also said its board of directors has approved an increase in its 2018 stock repurchase authorization to $1.075 billion, up from $875 million. The board also approved a quarterly cash dividend of 22.5 cents a share, up 41% over the prior year. The dividend is payable on March 30 to stockholders of record as of March 19. Ross shares ended the regular session up 3.2%.
