Actually, they calculate from Thursday to Thursday. As I wrote previously for AAPL.

Thursday 1/30/2025 AAPL CLOSE is $237.59.

Thursday 2/6/2025 AAPL CLOSE is $233.22.

Difference is -1.84% which is a match to their 1-Wk Return value for AAPL.

The latest version of the app says, at the bottom right corner, "Weekly as of 02/05/25 Prices as of 02/07/25". That's Wednesday to Wednesday. So if they're actually calculating Thu to Thu, they're doing it wrong. But that's just a small quibble, if they could do it at all.
