Huntsville-area stocks follow a sliding market down on Friday

A mediocre Friday couldn’t keep Wall Street from recording its fifth straight winning week, the longest such streak since November 2021.

The cooling trend extended to stocks of local interest.

The biggest loss of the day, both in percentages and dollars, was Target, which fell 2.9% losing $4.03 per share to $133.81. The retail giant was at more than $160 per share just 30 days ago.

Only three companies saw gains of more than 1 percentage point: Community Health Systems (3.4), Southern Company (1.4) and Westrock Co. (1.1).

Automakers Honda and Toyota took the biggest tumbles of the day. Honda fell 2.1% to $31.23 while Toyota fell 2.3% to close at $164.35.

The full market drifted to modest losses.
