U.S. stocks rose again as stronger-than-expected profits keep piling higher for companies, though CEOs say they’re unsure how long that can last due to uncertainty around President Donald Trump’s trade war.

The S&P 500 climbed 0.6 percent Tuesday, its sixth straight gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.7 percent, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.5 percent.

UPS, General Motors and JetBlue Airways were part of a horde of companies reporting better profits for the start of 2025 than analysts expected. But uncertainty is high about how their profits will fare the rest of the year amid Trump’s on-again-off-again tariffs.

On Tuesday:

The S&P 500 rose 32.08 points, or 0.6 percent, to 5,560.83.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 300.03 points, or 0.7 percent, to 40,527.62.

The Nasdaq composite rose 95.18 points, or 0.5 percent, to 17,461.32.
