Hey Insiders, I recognized an interesting trend in the markets this week when looking at the relationship between stocks' buy ratings and their performance. So today, I will look at stocks that were among the top 25 performers in the U.S. this week who are supported by less than 50% of the Wall Street analysts that follow them. |

U.S. Markets U.S. stocks were down on Friday, ending a four-week winning streak for the S&P 500. - Despite this, individual stocks still rose on the week, with earnings and industry trends heavily impacting individual stocks.
- Interestingly, many of the stocks that rose last week are not supported by Wall Street Analysts. Just three of the top 10 performers from the past week have a buy rating from over 50% of Wall Street Analysts.
- The current 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield is set at 2.97300%
