Top 5 Weekly Gainers/Losers

Expedia (EXPE) — Top Gainer (+17.79% this week)

Shares ripped after a blowout Q3: revenue and EPS topped estimates, gross bookings rose 12% YoY to $30.7B, and management raised full-year guidance. The beat-and-raise, plus messaging that Expedia is leaning into AI across its brands, drove a ~18% surge Friday that sealed the week's near-18% climb to a record close.

Qualys (QLYS) — Gainer (+21.48% this week)

Cybersecurity name Qualys jumped after Q3 EPS beat by ~19% and revenue grew ~10% YoY, with record margins and upbeat outlook commentary. Investors cheered signs of momentum in platform bundling and channel contributions, propelling the stock ~20% higher on the week.

Akamai (AKAM) — Gainer (+11.43% this week)

Akamai rallied as Q3 revenue, EPS and cash flow beat, while Cloud Infrastructure Services grew ~39% YoY and the company highlighted AI/edge initiatives. Fresh FY guidance and solid segment detail helped flip sentiment, sending shares up double-digits for the week.

Celsius (CELH) — Loser (−28.93% this week)

Despite triple-digit revenue growth, shares sank as investors focused on a one-time $247M distributor-transition charge tied to Alani Nu and near-term disruption risks in PepsiCo's distribution shift. The combination of accounting noise, timing uncertainty, and hot expectations triggered a ~30% weekly slide.

Palantir (PLTR) — Loser (−12.89% this week)

Palantir hit an all-time high on Monday, then slid after earnings amid valuation concerns and headline pressure from a prominent short disclosure. Even with strong reported growth, the reset in multiples and profit-taking drove a mid-teens weekly decline.
