Some of the world's largest technology companies, including Apple and Microsoft, are leading the way, although Facebook is lagging after the New York Times reported that the social media company shared data with dozens of device makers. The company is disputing that report. Health care companies are mixed as investors react to results from studies of cancer drugs at a top medical conference.
