GOOD WEEK

Expedia Group (EXPE +18.82%) gained due to its approval of a $5 billion share repurchase, signalling confidence in its future and commitment to maximizing shareholder returns.  Expedia Group's diverse portfolio of travel-related brands and its focus on technological innovation position it as a leader in the global travel industry.

Digital Ocean’s (DOCN +16.84%) stock surged this week on the back of robust Q3 results that surpassed expectations, highlighting its remarkable free cash flow and increased full-year guidance. While some concerns linger, the company's overall performance remains promising.

BAD WEEK

Fox Factory Holding (FOXF -26.9%) reported a loss due to challenges in its financial performance.  A decline in net sales, particularly in its Specialty Sports Group (SSG), and decreased gross margin resulting from a shift in product mix and workforce costs related to the UAW strike.

Bill.com (BILL -25.17% ) faced a significant loss this week due to a substantial cut in its full-year revenue guidance.  The company attributed its weak results to challenging economic conditions, particularly impacting small businesses and their spending patterns, causing concerns about near to medium-term prospects for the business.

WHAT ELSE HAPPENED

Global stock indexes rose sharply, the U.S. dollar dropped to a six-week low and benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields fell to five-week lows on Friday after data showed U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in October.

A decision on by the U.S. Treasury to issue less long-term debt than expected also fueled the rally in bonds, as did data on suggesting the U.S. economy might finally be cooling.
