Claman on Call: Broad-Based Gains for U.S. Stocks

Amazon topped analyst estimates for earnings per share, delivering a profit for the first time in several quarters. Revenue came in just shy of expectations but that didn't dampen investors' appetite for the stock. Amazon surged more than 7% in after hours trading.

Flipping it over to Google, who also reported results after the bell, but the stock fell nearly 3% before coming back in after hours trade. Google missed estimates for both revenue and earnings per share, but had a couple of bright spots like mobile revenue on YouTube jumping more than 100%.

Taking a look at the markets, broad-based gains for U.S. stocks on Thursday. The Dow finished over 200 points higher, snapping its three-day losing streak. And after falling sharply earlier in the session, crude oil rebounded into the close and settled at about $44 a barrel. Speaking of falling oil prices, Dow Chemical CEO and Chairman Andrew Liveris joined FBN on the heels of his hefty earnings beat that sent the stock rallying in Thursday's close.
