Last week, the stock market witnessed notable movements, with several large-cap stocks displaying strong performance. For investors, it is essential to conduct a thorough review to determine if these top performers align with their investment portfolios.
One such standout performer is Rivian Automotive Inc, traded as RIVN, which saw impressive gains of 21.37% in the previous week due to recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.

D.R. Horton, Inc., known as DHI, saw a rise of 12.53% in its stock value. This surge was part of an overarching trend within the housing sector, as homebuilders, building companies, and housing-related stocks saw gains linked to the drop in Treasury yields following softer-than-expected June CPI figures.
