Stocks climbed to more records on Wall Street.
The S&P 500 rose 0.4 percent Friday, setting an all-time high for the fifth time this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.5 percent, and the Nasdaq composite added 0.2 percent to its own record set the day before.
Deckers helped lead the way with a gain of 11.3 percent. The company behind Ugg boots and Hoka shoes reported stronger profit and revenue than analysts expected. That helped offset a sharp drop for Intel, which sank 8.5 percent after saying it would cut thousands of jobs as it tries to turn around its struggling fortunes.
