Wall St. flat after late-day lift; media stocks lag

Wall Street ended little changed on Thursday after a moderate late-day rally as media stocks which slumped after negative business updates from Walt Disney and Comcast were offset by gains in healthcare shares.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 21.83 points, or 0.1 percent, to 21,785.81, the S&P 500 lost 0.42 point, or 0.02 percent, to 2,465.12 and the Nasdaq Composite added 4.56 points, or 0.07 percent, to 6,397.87.
