U.S. stock indexes wavered between small gains and losses in early trading Friday as investors weighed the latest batch of company earnings reports and new government data showing the U.S. economy surged in the second quarter at the fastest pace since 2014. Losses in technology and health care stocks partially offset gains among retailers, restaurant chains and banks.

KEEPING SCORE: The S&P 500 index fell 3 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,833 as of 10:15 a.m. Eastern Time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 8 points to 25,535. The Nasdaq composite index lost 26 points, or 0.3 percent, to 7,826. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks gave up 5 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,689.
