- Benzinga has examined the prospects for many investor favorite stocks over the past week.
- This week's bullish calls included the iPhone maker and the king of e-commerce.
- A coronavirus play and the electric vehicle leader were among the bearish calls.
Fears of a pandemic resurgence and other bad news finally caught up with the markets last week. Tempered optimism brought a sharp retreat in stocks on Thursday, in the wake of Federal Reserve commentary and even the Nasdaq hitting an all-time high. The tech-heavy index ended the week down more than 2%, while the Dow Jones industrials and the S&P 500 were down around 5% or so.
As usual, 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.
