Wall St Ends Flat; Economic Data Offsets Retailer Results

US stocks ended little changed on Tuesday as declines in Home Depot and other retailers following results offset upbeat US retail sales data.

Home Depot's stock was down 2.7 percent and was the biggest drag for both the S&P 500 and Dow. Although the home improvement chain reported strong earnings and raised its forecast, investors appeared to be worried about supply constraints in the housing market that could be a drag on Home Depot's future earnings.

Shares of smaller rival Lowe's Cos were down 4.4 percent.The S&P 500 consumer discretionary index , down 0.9 percent, also took a hit from a steep fall in the shares of Coach and Advance Auto Parts after disappointing results.
