1. SodaStream will close higher on the week
It's time for SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA ) to get busy with the fizzy. Shares of the Israeli company behind the popular beverage-making appliance soared earlier this summer when it became the subject of buyout chatter. The rumors have subsided, but now the stock is trading for less than it was when the frenzy began. - [By Steve Symington]
Shares of SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA ) popped more than 13% during intraday trading Tuesday after the company's investor day spurred upgrades from a number of analysts.

2. SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA )
The Israeli company behind the namesake soda-making system has made a big splash in the U.S. in recent years, but it's been toiling away in the U.K. for decades. - [By Rick Munarriz]
Briefly in the news
8x8 (NASDAQ: EGHT ) moved higher after posting better-than-expected revenue growth in its latest quarter. The provider of PBX telephony, video conferencing, and other Web-based communication services did miss on the bottom line, but it was still another period of margin expansion and explosive earnings growth. SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA ) popped to a fresh 52-week high last week after its well-received Analyst Day, but an analyst this week was feeling more flat than fizz on the company behind the carbonated beverage maker system. J.P. Morgan downgraded the stock but also boosted its price target from $56 to $70 to keep pace with the bubbly share price. Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA ) continues to do all of the right things. The electric-car maker on Wednesday wired a payment that zeroes out the federal loan it received four years ago. Tesla claims to be the first American company to fully repay its government loan, but Chrysler disputed the claim. Take it outside, you two.
And now let's take a quick look at some of the other stories that shaped our week.
