On today’s episode of the Zacks Friday Finish Line podcast, host Ryan McQueeney and content writer Adam Clark, filling in for host Maddy Johnson, take on the week’s biggest news from the investment and financial world.

Second-quarter earnings were once again the focus this week, but the hosts started the show by touching on the state of the U.S. economy. With Friday’s lackluster GDP report and the Fed’s decision not to raise interest rates this week, economic activity in the country isn’t looking necessarily fantastic.

Ryan and Adam also covered the two big acquisitions of the week. The Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) takeover saga finally ended with Verizon’s (NYSE:VZ) $4.83 billion purchase of the former search giant’s core business, and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) boosted its cloud suite with its $9.3 billion acquisition of NetSuite (NYSE:N) .

And finally, the hosts once again recapped another busy week of earnings announcements. This week was packed full of tech and internet giants, and just like last week, the second-quarter reports showed mixed results. Ryan and Adam tackled all the fresh data from Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) , Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) , Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) , Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) , and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) .
