Koch shares ended up jumping 4.7% Tuesday and ended the week with a gain of nearly 8%.
Next up, we're welcoming in the crypto golden age.
At least, that's the hope of many a cryptocurrency trader.
And we certainly saw those hopes bolstered by Robinhood's earnings on Wednesday.
Robinhood, the trading platform, posted a sharp jump in quarterly profit, helped by a flurry of post-election activity, including trading in crypto.
Robinhood's one of the big winners of the so-called Trump bump, aka the end-of-year market rally fueled by investors' expectations that the new administration would be more business-friendly.
And, as we've seen, Trump is pro-crypto.
Since taking office, he's signed an executive order for looser regulations for cryptocurrencies, and we've seen major cryptocurrencies surging after he won the election.
So how'd the stock do?
It surged 14% on Thursday and ended the week almost 17% higher.
Now, I might just have an especially sweet toot this week because first I'm talking about chocolate and now ice cream.
Unilever, the consumer goods giant that makes Ben & Jerry's, Breyers, Talenti, a bunch of the big names and frozen treats, on Thursday confirmed its plans to spin off its ice cream business in order to simplify the company.
Before, it had also been considering selling the unit.
And that business is a big one.
Last year, it generated sales of more than $8.6 billion, roughly 14% of Unilever's overall revenue.
But alas, investors weren't all screaming for ice cream because the announcement wasn't the only Unilever news to digest.
The company also said that revenue grew less than analysts expected in the latest quarter, and it gave a subdued outlook for 2025.
U.S.-traded shares of Unilever fell 5.6% Thursday, and they lost an additional 1.9% on Friday.
And now you know what's news in markets this week.
