Market Summary: Week's Worst Performers

Key Market Movers:

The week ending February 17, 2026 saw significant declines across multiple sectors, with financial and technology stocks particularly hard hit.

Financial Sector Struggles:

  • Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) tested its 320-day moving average after a four-day slide, driven by rate cut concerns. Put options outnumbered calls by nearly 2:1 over two weeks.
  • Robinhood Markets (HOOD) suffered five consecutive weekly losses following a Q4 revenue miss and four analyst downgrades, with J.P. Morgan cutting its price target to $113.

Technology Disappointments:

  • Cisco Systems (CSCO) fell for four straight sessions despite beating revenue estimates, as rising memory chip prices and AI hardware demand created supply constraints. The stock tested its 126-day moving average.

Notable Decliners:

  • DraftKings (DKNG) plunged on weak fiscal year revenue guidance despite beating quarterly estimates, triggering three price-target cuts. The consensus target of $43.61 represents a 96% premium to current levels—its worst performance since November 2022.
  • Carvana (CVNA) headed for a 14.5% weekly loss amid allegations from Gotham City Research of hiding $1 billion in expenses. Earnings are due Wednesday, with historical post-earnings moves exceeding 10%.
  • NuScale Power (SMR) dropped toward $11.09 lows after a TD Cowen downgrade to "hold," despite announcing a Department of Energy-backed partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
  • AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) retreated sharply after reaching $129.89 in late January.

The choppy market environment reflected ongoing concerns about valuations, earnings guidance, and sector-specific headwinds during earnings season.
