Financial and technology shares rallied Monday, putting the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average on track to notch their third straight day of gains. Major stock indexes have recouped a big chunk of their February losses, as corporate earnings suggest that U.S. firms remain on strong footing. A record 78% of S&P 500 companies have beaten analysts' revenue estimates so far for the fourth quarter of 2017, and overall earnings growth is nearly 15%, which would make it the best quarter since 2011, according to FactSet.
