The GovCon Index‘s five-day streak of gains ended Monday with a nominal loss of 0.102 points to 79.548 after its best week of a fourth quarter that has seen a strong rally from the three months prior to October.
San Diego-based defense and transportation services contractor Cubic Corp. (NYSE: CUB) was scheduled to report financial results for the fourth quarter of its 2015 fiscal year ended Sept. 30 after markets closed.
Losses in the transportation and technology sectors offset gains in energy and raw material stocks in the first day of Thanksgiving week activity in U.S. markets, according to Bloomberg.
Investors will look for the Commerce Department’s second reading on gross domestic product for the third quarter Wednesday, Bloomberg reports.
