Major U.S. stock-indexes were little changed on Thursday, a day after the Dow and the S&P hit fresh record highs and as investors digested a mixed bag of earning reports as well as upbeat economic data. Intel (INTC) shares were down after the chipmaker reported revenue growth slowed at its key data center business. Also dragging on the Dow was Travelers (TRV) and American Express (AXP), both of which fell after disappointing quarterly reports.

However, economic data was upbeat. A report showed jobless claims unexpectedly fell last week, hitting a three-month low as the labor market continues to gather momentum.

Dow stocks mixed (15 vs 15). Top looser - Intel Corporation (INTC, -4,23%). Top gainer - Caterpillar Inc. (CAT, +1,81%).

All S&P sectors in positive area. Top gainer - Basic Materials (+0,6%).
