Benzinga has examined the prospects for many investor favorite stocks over the past week.
- Last week's bullish calls included an at-home digital exercise company and a social media giant.
- A leading streaming service company along with one of the largest healthcare companies in the world were among the bearish calls seen.
It was a turbulent week for the markets as investors took cover as tensions continue to grow between Russia and Ukraine and new data showed U.S. inflation hit 7.5% in January. The latest number makes it more likely that the Federal Reserve will tighten monetary policy more aggressively than originally thought.
All three major indexes experienced losses for the week. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were down 1.8% and 2.2%, respectively, while the Dow ended the week with a 1% loss.
Benzinga continues to examine the prospects for many of the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.
