3 Tech Stocks That Soared This Week

Intuitive Surgical, Amazon.com, and SanDisk bucked the trend in a negative market week, and reached for a great one instead.

That Amazon logo is smiling for good reason this week. Image source: Amazon.

The stock market just finished a difficult week. The S&P 500 index fell 2.2%, Dow Jones Industrials lost 2.8%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite market barometer dropped 2.3% lower.

But some tech stocks bucked the negative trend in a big way. Driven by a trio of fantastic earnings reports, Amazon.com (AMZN 0.89%) gained 9.7% from one weekend to the next, while Intuitive Surgical (ISRG 1.49%) surged 11.5% higher (sorry -- pun intended!) and SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) jumped 11.6%.
