Most Bought and Sold Stocks Last Week One stock stood out last week as investors piled into Meta after the company’s shares fell abruptly after its latest earnings update. Meta shares fell around 13% after the company reported third-quarter earnings that beat on sales, but it also reported a $16 billion one-time tax charge. Some of the biggest position changes week-on-week included buying into Fiserv, shares of which halved in value last week, as well as Strive (Asset Entities), the Bitcoin holding company owned by Vivek Ramaswamy, the one-time Republican presidential hopeful. Other top traded names included Palantir and Alphabet as US tech stocks rallied to complete a 4.7% gain in the Nasdaq for October. Conversely, clients were offloading Amazon last week despite the company’s earnings sending shares up 10% on Friday. It posted cloud revenues +20% in Q3, with CEO Andy Jassy saying that AWS is "growing at a pace we haven't seen since 2022". We also noted negative position changes in Intel, Tesla and GSK.
