Stocks climbed Friday, breaking three consecutive sessions of losses, led by the tech and financial sectors and as oil prices stabilized at lower levels. In the wake of it all, the "Fast Money" traders found these market movers to be the most interesting.
Pops (stocks that went higher)
Autodesk (ADSK) popped 6%: The auto cam and design cam company beat earnings-per-share forecasts by 1 cent on stronger revenues. Given the strong demand for its products, optionMONSTER.com's Jon Najarian is bullish on AKSK.
Boeing (BA) popped 2%: The Chicago-based aircraft maker beat rival EADS for a $30 billion tanker contract. Trader Todd Gordon likes airline stocks right now and said BA is "solid" in his book.
Drops (stocks that went lower)
NutriSystem (NTRI) dropped 30%: The weight loss company missed on revenue and guided lower, said Trutina Financial's Patty Edwards. She doesn't think the consumer can afford its products, so she would avoid NutriSystem's stock.
First Solar (FSLR) dropped 5%: Although a play on higher oil prices, the solar company saw shares drop after it said sales could be lowered. Brian Kelly, founder of Kanundrum Capital, would steer clear of this stock for right now.
