We are in the heart of summer, and the markets remain at all-time highs, despite a bull run that is well more than eight years old now. Perhaps August will show us the summer doldrums, but Benzinga continues to feature a look at the prospects for many investor favorite stocks. Here are just a few from the past week, inspired by the season.

Something To Watch

Brett Hershman's "Recent Pullback Sets Up Cinemark For A Blockbuster Entry Point" shows why one key analyst sees the recent decline in Cinemark Holdings, Inc. CNK shares as setting up a nice entry point for investors. But will the disappointing summer box office numbers get in the way?

The focus on earnings has done little to diminish the fervor for mergers, according to "3 Reasons Comcast Should Acquire Verizon, And Why This Cost Dish A Downgrade" by Ezra Schwarzbaum. Will Comcast Corporation CMCSA and Verizon Communications Inc. VZ be next in the spotlight?
