Wal-Mart downgraded by Barclays
NEW YORK (MarketWatch)--U.S. stocks declined on Friday as investors assessed softer economic data while awaiting the outcome of a meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Greece.
A gauge of U.S. manufacturing activity ticked up, but the expansion was at a slower pace than last year.
The S&P 500 (SPX) and Dow industrials (DJI) were on track to finish the holiday-shortened week lower, after two consecutive weeks of gains. The Nasdaq Composite (RIXF) still looked at a modest weekly gain.
The S&P 500 posted losses across the board, with all of its 10 main sectors trading lower. Materials and energy sector stocks led the losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 100 points to 17,885.36, with two-thirds of its 30 members trading in negative territory.
The Nasdaq Composite broke its seven-day winning streak and inched lower.
The tech-heavy index outperformed other benchmarks so far this year, gaining nearly 4%, compared with a gain of less than 2% for the S&P 500.
Key decision on Greece: The debt standoff between Greece and its eurozone partners has grabbed most investors' attention this week, but so far hasn't created a major shake-up in the financial markets. The European indexes eyed advances for the most part. The lack of market response is partly because the risk of contagion is much lower (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-the-eurozone-risk-investors-are-ignoring-2015-02-19) than in 2011 and 2012, MarketWatch's William Watts explains.
Eurozone finance ministers are meeting in Brussels to discuss the latest proposal from Greece on extending its loan agreement. The request was submitted on Thursday, but rebuffed shortly after that by Germany (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/cracks-still-evident-as-germany-rebuffs-greek-extension-plan-2015-02-19), which said it wasn't a "substantial proposal for a solution". European markets were mixed ahead of Friday's Eurogroup meeting (http://www.marketwatch.com/storyno-meta-for-guid), with Greece's Athex Composite index up 0.8% to 863.68.
Data: U.S. manufacturing activity picked up in February, with the Markit flash purchasing managers index climbing to 54.3, above forecasts by economists polled by MarketWatch. The final January reading came in at 53.9, above the 50 level that separates expansion from contraction. However, details were much weaker and indicated the U.S. economy has entered a slower growth phase.
PMI readings out of the eurozone showed business activity in the currency union grew (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/european-economy-shows-signs-of-revival-2015-02-20) at a faster pace in February than expected, to reach a seven-month high.
Earnings: Farm-equipment manufacturer Deere & Co.(DE) was down slightly after a lowered outlook offset a profit beat.
Wal-Mart's(WMT) shares fell 0.6% after analysts at Barclays downgraded the company to equal weight from overweight and cut the target price to $85 from $90.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp.(COG) swung to a fourth-quarter loss amid plunging oil prices and cut its growth outlook. The company said it slashed its capital budget for 2015 to $900 million from the roughly $1.5 billion it had expected to spend in October.
Noodles & Co.(NDLS) tanked 25% after the restaurant chain late Thursday reported fourth-quarter earnings that fell short of estimates (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/noodles-stock-plunges-after-results-outlook-disappoint-2015-02-19) (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/noodles-stock-plunges-after-results-outlook-disappoint-2015-02-19).
Intuit Inc. (INTU) shares jumped after its chief financial officer said Thursday that the company hasn't found any evidence that its systems were hacked into in connection with a number of fraudulent tax-return filings this month.

Other markets: Oil (CLH5) swung between gains and losses on Friday, but was still looking at its first weekly loss in a month (http://www.marketwatch.com/storyno-meta-for-guid).
Gold prices (GCJ5) gave up earlier gains and inched lower, while the dollar (DXY) traded mixed against other major currencies.
