The Dow Jones Industrial Average has done so much better than the average semiconductor company, or even the above-average enterprise software company that it's insane that we even focus on some of the latter. The 600 companies formed in the last two years rent too much of your brain space even in passing. What enterprise software company can say that?

The best performer this week was electronics retailer Best Buy , which is up about 14% this week. Its performance comes off per-share earnings and revenue beats reported in third-quarter earnings Tuesday. The stock is rated a buy by 61.1% of analysts, whose average price target implies shares should go up about 2.4%. Shares of discount retailer Ross Stores popped after the company beat expectations for per-share earnings and revenue last week. Just over half, or 52.2%, of analysts give it a buy rating, with an average upside of 1.6%.

Best Buy Co Inc (BBY.N) jumped 12.4%, leading gains on S&P 500 (.SPX) index, after forecasting a smaller drop in annual sales than previously estimated, confident that a ramp up in deals and discounts will lure more customers. "People are hopeful that consumers can still squeeze out a strong holiday season despite the headwinds they're facing," said Brandon Pizzurro, director of public investments at GuideStone Capital Management. "It would be an upside surprise if consumers really brought their full wallet to the table this year, probably what's driving Best Buy movement today." Gains in Best Buy boosted the S&P 500 retail (.SPXRT) sector index, but a 9.4% fall in Dollar Tree Inc (DLTR.O) capped the upside as the discount retailer lowered its annual profit forecast for the second time. Energy (.SPNY) led gains among the 11 major S&P 500 sector indexes, up 3.0%, as oil prices rose after top exporter Saudi Arabia said OPEC+ stuck with output cuts.

☆ This tech stock is an underrated 'instrumental play' that can jump nearly 20%, Wells Fargo says

Keysight Technologies is underrated and ready to grow within more technology spaces than the market has given it credit for, Wells Fargo said Thursday. Aaron Rakers initiated Keysight with an overweight rating, calling it an "instrumental play on digital transformation." Rakers said the company has the potential to increase margin by bringing up software mix. It was spun out from Agilent Technologies, which Rakers said did not invest in the company enough for it to reach its potential. To be sure, the company faces the risk of not being able to gain further market growth or increase margins.
