Looking at the past week, earnings did not help at all. The Dow slid 665 points! For the first part of this earnings season, we saw incredible earnings and superb growth in the markets. In fact, this was perhaps the best performance by the broad markets for the month of October in the past four years. However, this past week highlighted a few companies that missed their earnings, contrary to this earlier trend.
24/7 Wall St. has picked out a few of the key losers from this past week for a review, and we have included a recent trading history, consensus targets and a 52-week trading range.
Flotek Industries
Flotek Industries Inc. (NYSE: FTK) had a crushing week that absolutely demolished its shares. The report was concerning its FracMax, that it might not perform as it should. Over the course of the week, the stock was down 47%, and it is down 49% year to date.
