Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending March 6:

Butterfly Network (NYSE:BFLY): The digital health company saw strong interest from investors during the week, which comes after recent financial results. The company beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share in the fourth quarter. This marked the eighth straight earnings per share beat by the company. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in nine of the last 10 quarters, and also beaten revenue estimates in nine of the last 10 quarters. Guidance from the company for fiscal 2026 revenue in a range of $117 million to $121 million came in ahead of analyst estimates of $106.5 million. TD Cowen raised their price target on the stock from $4.50 to $6, while reiterating a Buy rating. The stock is seeing increased attention and more quarterly beats could propel shares higher.

Xponential Fitness (NYSE:XPOF): The fitness company owns multiple brands in the sector including Club Pilates, CycleBar, Stretch Lab, Pure Barre and Row House. Voss Capital, the company's largest shareholder at around 19.3% of shares, recently sent an open letter to the company's board of directors. Voss contends that Club Pilates is worth more than the entire enterprise value currently assigned to the company. The letter calls for Xponential to retain independent financial advisors and form a committee of indirect directors to explore strategic alternatives, including a potential sale. Voss says that investors are currently assigning negative value to the company's brands outside of Club Pilates. A potential sale or move to pursue asset sales could see shares catch continued interest from investors.

Battalion Oil (AMEX:BATL): The oil sector was hot over the last week as tensions in the Middle East have sent the price of oil higher. Battalion Oil stock was one of the big gainers with shares up 110% over the last week. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company focuses on acquiring, developing and producing onshore oil and natural gas. With oil trading higher, the company could benefit financially with higher revenue and margins. Battalion also entered into a $15 million private placement over the last week to improve its financial condition. Quarterly earnings on March 30 could put the stock in the spotlight in the coming weeks, alongside high volatility for oil.

T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS): The telecommunications company saw strong interest from readers during the week with minimal news. This could mean investors are turning to the company due to its dividend, it being a blue chip stock or a strong preference for the sector. The company recently reported fourth-quarter financial results with earnings per share beating estimates for an eighth straight quarter and revenue beating estimates for a seventh straight quarter. The company has beaten estimates for earnings per share and revenue each in nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:PLUG): Fourth-quarter results and a CEO change likely put Plug Power in the spotlight during the trading week. The company beat analyst estimates for revenue with earnings per share falling shy of estimates. Plug's revenue for the year and fourth-quarter margin were highlighted by the company along with the CEO change. Also helping the stock rallying 23% over the last week may have been the high short interest in the stock, which is currently around 25% according to Benzinga Pro.
