NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are opening higher on Wall Street Wednesday, a day after the S&P 500 closed at a record high for the first time since February.

Target soared the most in the S&P 500 after reporting blowout earnings that came in far ahead of what analysts were expecting. Walmart and Home Depot have also reported huge sales over the past three months as Americans limit their supply runs to fewer stores and do more cooking and do-it-yourself projects at home.
