The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Pinterest (PINS)

With mighty-mights like Meta Networks (META), Twitter (-N/A-), and Snapchat (SNAP) failing left and right, you might think the nice kid in the room, Pinterest (PINS), would fail, too.

Not so fast!

PINS reported excellent prospects and knocked their earnings out of the park, proving the underdog can handle it, earning +15.81% and locking in the spot of the Week’s Biggest Winner.

Las Vegas Sands (LVS)

It doesn’t matter if the entire U.S. stock market is up as long as your primary market, China, is locked down. Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and the rest of the gambling space with China exposure simply couldn’t roll a winner this week, losing -5.07% and getting the Snake Eyes that is the Week’s Biggest Loser.
