Wall St ends flat as earnings gains offset energy shares tumble

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street ended flat on Thursday as a steep fall in the energy sector countered some solid earnings reports, with major stock indexes little changed after the U.S. House of Representatives passed major healthcare legislation.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average <.DJI> fell 6.43 points, or 0.03 percent, to 20,951.47, the S&P 500 <.SPX> gained 1.39 points, or 0.06 percent, to 2,389.52 and the Nasdaq Composite <.IXIC> added 2.79 points, or 0.05 percent, to 6,075.34.
