Benzinga has examined the prospects for many investor favorite stocks over the past week.

Bullish calls included a software giant and an ongoing turnaround story.

Bearish calls included telecom and electric vehicle leaders.

As goes January, so goes the year? The Dow Jones industrials and the S&P 500 ended the month marginally in the red, while the Nasdaq was barely above flat.

Uncertainty arising from the latest coronavirus outbreak gets much of the credit for the recent retreat in the markets. The past week also saw peak earnings season, the latest word from the Federal Reserve, an old-school tech giant naming a new chief executive and the arrival of Brexit.

Benzinga continues to examine the prospects for many of the stocks most popular with investors. Here are some of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.
