weeks like the one we just had are rare and in such times I like looking at the companies that went the other way. Mostly to see why they did what they did. In that analysis lies (I believe) valuable information about investor behaviour, preferences and latent value to be captured. If nothing else, I believe the companies below and the sectors/industries to which they are assigned represent the answer to what is often asked on these board, i.e. "Which stocks/sectors/industries do better than the market in a bear market or recession?"
Looking just at the sp500, there were 30 companies which closed on Friday, at a higher price than their price on Monday. Enjoy your analysis of the below. Just a note that of the companies below only 1 had an earnings release this week (Walgreens), so that can be struck off as the reason for these stocks' contra-market move.
