U.S. Stocks Rise as Oil Gains Steam; Netflix Shares Sink

The rally continues. U.S. stocks moved higher on Tuesday, following gains on Monday when the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 18,000 for the first time since July. West Texas Intermediate crude crossed back above $40 a barrel on Tuesday, as reports of an oil worker strike in Kuwait surfaced, prompting the nation to reduce production. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs' (GS) - Get Report profit of $2.68 a share for first quarter, beat estimates of $2.45, but was down from the $5.94 the bank earned during the same quarter last year. Revenue also eclipsed forecasts, but fell 40 percent year-over-year. This as the bank grappled with volatile markets during first quarter. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) - Get Report shares rose after the company raised its full year earnings outlook, amid growth in its pharmaceutical and consumer segments. The company beat Wall Street's earnings estimates and matched revenue forecasts. Finally, Netflix (NFLX) - Get Report shares sunk as the company expects to add only 500,000 U.S. customers during second quarter, missing FactSet estimates of 586,000. The company still has 81.5 million subscribers across the globe. TheStreet's Scott Gamm reports from Wall Street.
