NEW YORK—U.S. stocks drifted to a mixed finish Monday as Wall Street’s wild recent moves calmed a bit.

The S&P 500 added 7.64 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,365.98, even though the majority of stocks within it and across Wall Street weakened. The index was coming off its best week of the year, which itself came on the heels of several months of sharp losses.
