5 Top Stocks That Have Skyrocketed Over the Past 7 Days

With the coronavirus pandemic showing no signs of letting up, Wall Street continues to grapple with severe volatility, which has been plaguing it over the last five weeks. With market participants unable to estimate the extent and impact of the coronavirus crisis have begun panic selling off of risky assets like equities.

Consequently, the three major stock indexes of Wall Street are still in bear market territory. At present, the Dow is down 28.3% from its all-time high recorded on Feb 12 while the S&P 500 is down around 27% from its all-time high posted on Feb 19. Moreover, the tech--laden Nasdaq Composite has tumbled nearly 25% from its recent high on Feb 19.

However, despite the coronavirus-induced severe market downturn, a handful of stocks have soared in the last seven trading days defying the overall market trend. Some of these stocks still have strong upside left to provide solid return to long-term investors. Investment in those stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank may be lucrative at this stage.
