U.S. Stocks Gain as Financials Trim Loss, Consumer Shares Rise

By Whitney Kisling
March 15 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks erased losses in the final hour as financial shares reversed declines, while consumer companies rallied on an analyst upgrade of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PepsiCo Inc.’s plan to return more money to investors.

American International Group Inc. erased a 2.7 percent slide after investor Bruce Berkowitz said he bought a stake in the bailed-out insurer. Financial shares in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index recovered most of a 1.1 percent slide after Senator Christopher Dodd outlined a plan to overhaul banking rules. Wal-Mart rallied 2.8 percent on Citigroup Inc.’s recommendation to buy the shares, while PepsiCo gained 1.6 percent on plans to boost its dividend and buy back shares.
