During a busy week for Wall Street — including Nvidia’s earnings announcement and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech — investors are favoring certain stocks over others. The S & P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite managed to break a three-week losing streak, gaining 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, the 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked down for the second consecutive week. The relative strength index, which measures the magnitude and speed of price moves, is one way to evaluate whether shares are overbought or oversold. A stock with a 14-day RSI below 30 is considered oversold — implying that it could be a promising entry point for investors. Meanwhile, equities with a 14-day RSI higher than 70 are likely overbought — and may be due for a pullback soon. With this in mind, CNBC Pro screened for stocks in the broad market index that fell into overbought and oversold territory this past week. Take a look at the names on the list, and where Wall Street sees them headed next. Oversold stocks Here are the 10-most oversold names. Half of the names on the list fell in the health-care sector.

PODD 5D mountain Insulet Corp shares Clothing brand Ralph Lauren has the lowest 14-day RSI of 2.9 on the list. The company’s average price target suggests more than 21% upside potential.
