Solid earnings for a range of companies helped nudge the stock market higher in early Tuesday trading. The restaurant chain Chipotle and Comcast, the giant cable company, surged after reporting better results than Wall Street expected.
KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average rose 53 points, or 0.3 percent, to 17,103 as of 10:06 a.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poor's 500 index added eight points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,982. The Nasdaq composite advanced 26 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,451.
MORE BURRITOS: After the market closed Monday, Chipotle Mexican Grill reported that stronger sales drove its quarterly profit up 26 percent.

Chipotle surged $68.42, or 12 percent, to $658.10 early Tuesday, the biggest gain in the S&P 500 index.

COKE: Weak sales of Diet Coke and fruit juice weighed down Coca-Cola's second-quarter results, leading the company to post and weaker revenue than Wall Street expected. Overall profit fell slightly. Coca-Cola's stock sank $1.21, or 3 percent, to $41.20.
BIG WEEK: Nearly a third of the big companies in the S&P 500 index will announce their quarterly results this week, including AT&T and Boeing on Wednesday, followed by Visa and Amazon on Thursday. Apple reports after the closing bell on Tuesday.
