Lackluster Market? Not for These 10 Soaring Stocks

Ten stocks capped off the trading week soaring by significant gains amid the flurry of strong corporate earnings, upbeat outlooks, and merger deals which boosted buying appetite.

The stocks—four of which soared to new record highs—bucked a lackluster performance on the broader market after the three benchmark indices finished mixed during the day. Of the three indices, only the Nasdaq closed in the green, up 0.13 percent. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 fell by 0.65 percent and 0.05 percent, respectively.

In this article, we name the 10 top performing stocks on Friday and detail the reasons behind their gains.

To come up with the list, we considered only the stocks with a $2 billion market capitalization and more than 5 million shares in trading volume.
