On Wednesday, shares of Akeena soared on news that it licensed Suntech Power Holdings Co. to distribute its Andalay solar-panel technology in Europe, Japan and Australia.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but shares of Akeena soared 43.8 percent to close at $11.45 in trading volume around 22 times its average.
Shares edged higher as the week continued, with trading volume still above normal. On Friday, shares rose $1.40, or 10.3 percent, to close at $15 -- up 88 percent for the week.
Meanwhile, shares of CVS Caremark Corp. declined 6.6 percent to close at $36.77 on Thursday in around six times its average trading volume. The drugstore chain said sales in December were sluggish because of bad weather and a mild flu season.
The drugstore chain and pharmacy benefit manager also forecast a fourth-quarter profit of 54 cents to 55 cents per share, versus the 55 cent per share estimate expected by analysts polled by Thomson Financial.
But shares rose on Friday, gaining 50 cents to $37.27 and finished 5 percent lower for the week.
And on Friday, shares of Intel lost $2, or 8.1 percent, to $22.67, when an analyst cut his rating on the stock, marking the second downgrade this week.
JPMorgan analyst Christopher Danely downgraded the semiconductor maker on Friday on concerns related to slowing orders and high inventory levels. And earlier in the week on Wednesday, shares fell more than 4 percent when a Banc of America analyst downgraded the stock on concern over market growth in the first half of 2008.
