Howard Hughes Holdings Climbs as S&P SmallCap 600 Entry Looms

The stock reached $73.63 during afternoon trading, providing a modest recovery for a security that has struggled with a 7.7% decline since the beginning of the year. S&P Dow Jones Indices confirmed the transition, noting that the replacement becomes official at the start of the Wednesday session.
