NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks traded lower on Thursday as investors digested the sharp gains made in the previous session.

At midday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 102.15 points, or 0.39 percent, to 26,013.50. The S&P 500 decreased 5.80 points, or 0.21 percent, to 2,796.76. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 7.22 points, or 0.10 percent, to 7,291.06.

Investors continue to look at latest earnings reports.

Morgan Stanley posted fourth-quarter earnings and revenue on Thursday that beat analyst expectations. Excluding a charge related to the tax bill, the company reported earnings per diluted share of 0.84 U.S. dollar, higher than market expectations of 0.77 dollar.

Earnings season is off to a strong start thus far. According to financial research company FactSet, of the S&P 500 companies that had reported as of Friday, 69 percent have surpassed earnings-per-share estimates while 85 percent have beaten expectations on the top line.
