It’s been a volatile trading week amid a market in correction. Twitter ( TWTR ) vaulted 11% Friday, closing at 15.88 and erasing the week’s losses around its fourth quarter report that showed slowing user growth. It’s tweaking its user interface to be a little more like Facebook ( FB ), which currently gets a top stock rating from IBD: a best-possible Composite Rating of 99. (See the video for who’s highly rated or not, and more on the week’s earnings reports.) Akamai ( AKAM ) lifted 3.3% in the stock market today after surging earlier in the week on its quarterly report. IRobot ( IRBT ) rose 4.6%. Cisco Systems ( CSCO ) and Yelp ( YELP ) gained close to 2% each. Pandora Media ( P ) plunged 12% Friday, amid a declining number of users for the streaming music service revealed in its quarterly report Thursday, plus competition from Apple ( AAPL ), highly rated  Alphabet ( GOOGL ) (with a 99 IBD Composite Rating) and Amazon ( AMZN ) in its business. “Pandora’s core profitability appears challenged by higher royalties and diminishing productivity gains, and its new service efforts appear expensive given the poor history of profits in the space,” Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves said in a research report. Security firm CyberArk ( CYBR ) fell 10.8% for the day. Travel sites TripAdvisor ( TRIP ) and Expedia ( EXPE ) gave back 1.9% and 1.1%, respectively, on Friday. (Both rose Thursday.)  Tesla Motors ( TSLA ) edged up 0.4% Friday. Before Friday’s action, tech companies whose stocks had lifted this week around their quarterly reports included Cisco, Akamai and TripAdvisor, with big jumps, as well as Tesla and Expedia. On the downside were Pandora, iRobot, CyberArk, Yelp and Twitter. Image provided by Shutterstock .     Scalper1 News
