Among the sector activity stories for Thursday, Oct. 8, from AP Financial News:
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Shares of entertainment stocks rose after analysts raised their earnings and revenue forecasts, as well as price targets, for companies in the sector as advertising spending improves.
NEW YORK (AP) - Shares of companies that make construction materials and building products rose after the government reported wholesale inventories slipped more than expected in August and jobless claims fell.
NEW YORK (AP) - Investors traded shares of health insurers lower after the Congressional Budget Office said a health care reform bill may cost less than President Obama had estimated, which could improve the bill's chances.
NEW YORK (AP) - Shares of teen apparel retailers rose after reporting sales in stores open at least one year, a key measure of a retailer's fiscal health. Many surpassed analyst expectations.
