Mobile and Alabama Stock Report ends week on high note

Wall Street scratched out a positive day Friday to close the week on a semblance of a high note, as did our Mobile and Alabama Stock Report.

This wasn’t a down week for WestRock, which soared 4% for the second consecutive day to pace the gainers.

Other local notables that saw gains: Computer Programs and Systems (1.7%) and Johnson Controls (.6%).

Boeing led the decliners at -2.2%.

Overall, stocks edged higher on Friday, but not by enough to keep Wall Street from closing out its first losing week in the last three.

The S&P 500 ticked up 6.35 points, or 0.1%, to 4,457.49 after falling for three straight days. It lost 1.3% for the week, which was shortened by the Labor Day holiday.
