After-Hours Recap: April In Review, Friday Index Movers & After-Hours Runners

Stocks tumbled on Friday, driven by disappointing earnings in the tech and healthcare sectors. The S&P 500 and Dow managed to post some gains for the month of April; the Nasdaq, on the other hand, lost almost 2 percent of its value. Oil fell slightly as well, but still ended the month very strongly.

The S&P 500 Index delivered a 0.51 percent decline, with Stericycle Inc SRCL, Seagate Technology PLC STX and Western Digital Corp WDC having posted the largest decays.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.32 percent. Among the biggest decliners were Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. WMT and Intel Corporation INTC.

The Nasdaq 100 Index slipped 0.62 percent, partly driven by losses at Gilead Sciences, Inc. GILD and Micron Technology, Inc. MU.

A few stocks in these indexes posted large gains on Friday. Among them, investors can count Monster Beverage Corporation MNST. Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN and Freeport-McMoRan Inc FCX.
