Netflix, Oracle and other technology stocks lifted U.S. indexes as their profits pile higher and excitement builds around the moneymaking prospects of artificial intelligence. The S&P 500 rose 0.6% Wednesday and closed just shy of the record it set in early December. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.3%. The gains came even though the majority of U.S. stocks fell under the weight of another crank higher for Treasury yields in the bond market. Netflix led the way after joining the list of companies to top analysts’ expectations for profit in the latest quarter.
