The stock market is up Wednesday, with Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.29%, the Nasdaq up 0.05% and the S&P 500 up 0.15%. Today’s sole winner is an insurer that is boosting capital, while today’s losers are a drone maker that reported weak financials and a retailer that reported a weak outlook.
These are Wednesday’s market winner and losers.
