Benzinga's Bulls And Bears Of The Week: Boeing, Netflix, Nike, Target And More

• Benzinga has examined the prospects for many investor favorite stocks over the past week.
• Bullish calls included a beleaguered aerospace giant, video streaming leader and a top retailer.
• Bearish calls included a big bank and a leading electric vehicle maker.

Despite a rough close on Friday, we saw a bear market rally last week, with the Dow Jones industrials ending more than 16% higher, the Nasdaq up over 9% and S&P 500 in between. Agreement on an economic stimulus package prompted the optimism, but the COVID-19 pandemic continued to dominate the headlines and among other things was responsible for record jobless claims last week.

As usual, Benzinga continues to examine the prospects for many of the stocks most popular with investors. Here are some of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.
