Stocks experienced a turbulent week, initially rising due to optimism over a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal, but later declining on concerns about a possible rate hike in 2026. Despite the fluctuations, major indexes ended the week higher.
Notably, Applied Materials and Western Digital emerged as overbought stocks, with RSIs of 77 and 78, respectively, following positive news regarding Intel's partnership with Apple and a buy rating from Citi for Applied Materials, which raised its price target to $710, suggesting a 15% upside.
Citigroup and Morgan Stanley also reached overbought status with RSIs of 75 and 74, respectively, after both firms hit new 52-week highs and received positive ratings from Wells Fargo.
Conversely, Accenture and Fox Corporation were identified as oversold, with Accenture's shares dropping nearly 25% after disappointing earnings and a downgrade from Morgan Stanley, which set a new price target of $177, down from $240. Fox Corporation's shares fell over 20% following its announcement of acquiring Roku for $22 billion, funded by a $12 billion loan.
