In this Monday edition of Advisors In Focus, we open the workweek by highlighting the tickers and groups that saw the most interest from your colleagues last week. The list showcases what stocks and groups are trending and helps you better understand the areas of the financial markets that are seeing the greatest interest from other financial professionals. For example, based on the latest TrackStarIQ rankings, Boeing (BA) was the most read last week and the interest was likely tied to recent volatility in the stock. Shares dropped 7% Tuesday after the company cut its demand forecast for commercial airplanes, but has since recovered most of the loss on reports Alaska Airlines (ALK) is set to place an order for 737 Max aircrafts and amid hopes Congress will pass a relief package to help the ailing airline industry.
