5 of Last Week's Biggest Winners

What's better than momentum? Mo' momentum.

Let's take a closer look at five of this past week's biggest scorchers.

Company

Aug. 10 Weekly Gain My Watchlist
Millennial Media (NYSE: MM  ) $13.24 46% Add
Fusion-io (NYSE: FIO  ) $27.45 41% Add
Universal Display (Nasdaq: PANL  ) $39.55 28% Add
First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR  ) $21.43 26% Add
Zipcar (Nasdaq: ZIP  ) $8.08 20% Add

Millennial Media soared after posting a narrower loss than Wall Street was expecting. The mobile advertising provider is now serving up ads for developers in more than 35,000 different mobile applications.

Fusion-io came up big after the storage drive maker posted blowout quarterly results and issued inspiring guidance. Fusion-io sees revenue growth of 45%-50% in its new fiscal 2013, well ahead of where the pros were perched.

Universal Display put the "oh" in OLED after the patent-rich lighting pioneer served up robust quarterly results.

First Solar was also a bright star last week. Seeing a solar company post improving results is rare, but seeing one enjoy a boost in profit guidance is even more rare.

Zipcar shares surrendered 39% of their value two weeks ago after posting brutal quarterly results. The leading car-sharing service shifted out of reverse last week, starting to make back some of the ground that it had lost.
