Benzinga has reviewed the outlook for many investors' favorite stocks over the past week. Here's a look at some of our top stories.

The final week of trading in 2022 ended on a groan as all three major indices finished lower. The S&P 500 edged down 0.14%, the Dow Industrials fell 0.17% and the Nasdaq 0.30% on the week.

It was a painful year for investors, as the S&P 500 fell 19.2% in 2022, its worst performance since the index fell 38.4% during the 2008 global financial crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended down 8.5% for the year, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq was down 33%.
