More Reading from MarketBeat Media MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Written by MarketBeat Staff. Article Posted: 1/24/2026. Stocks fell sharply at the start of the week on tariff fears but later rallied as most economic indicators point to a strongly growing economy. An in-line reading for the November PCE inflation index, stronger-than-expected jobs data and a final Q3 GDP reading of 4.4% all point to expansion. Precious metals tell a different story: gold and silver pushed to new record highs, and some analysts suggest gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks move higher. Consequently, corporate earnings will help separate the winners from the losers. Expectations are for strong results, but recent reports have shown why forward guidance can matter more than the headline numbers. A widely followed Wall Street analyst is highlighting AES Corp (AES) as a stock to watch right now, based on signals from his proprietary Power Gauge system. The model tracks factors like momentum, financial strength, and institutional activity across thousands of U.S. stocks.
He breaks down the full reasoning in a short briefing, including why AES is showing unusual strength at this stage of the market. See the full analysis here In Brief - Stocks rallied after a sharp early-week sell-off; most economic indicators show a growing economy.
- Gold and silver hit new highs, signaling that some investors are seeking safe havens.
- Next week, investors will get the next decision on interest rates as well as some of the Magnificent Seven earnings.
The Federal Reserve meets next week and is expected to hold rates steady, but markets will be listening closely for guidance on future moves. Also, many of the largest technology stocks will report earnings. MarketBeat analysts have every angle covered. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. Articles by Thomas Hughes Chip stocks have been recovering after a year-end sell-off. This week, Thomas Hughes explained why fundamentals, technical indicators and bullish analyst sentiment suggest the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still offers room for investors to get in. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) is often viewed as a bellwether for the economy. After selling off in the back half of 2025, Hughes noted that FAST stock found support near its 52-week low, and institutions are buying on optimism that catalysts will materialize in 2026. Many regional banks reported this week; one of the strongest results came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted that the company's solid quarter may set the stage for double-digit upside in 2026, driven largely by its acquisition of Comerica Bank. Articles by Sam Quirke Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) had a solid 2025 but has not yet reclaimed its all-time high from late last year. This week, Sam Quirke offered investors two ways to trade AMZN stock ahead of the company's upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail favorite. Quirke noted that the debate around earnings—between future growth prospects and current valuation—will determine the stock's direction after next week's report. Read more in Tesla Bulls vs. Bears Are Getting Loud Ahead of Earnings. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026, leaving the stock arguably oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explains why that could present an opportunity for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report until early February, but investors are already speculating about the post-earnings move. Markoch highlighted the one metric that suggests smart money may be more bullish than it appears. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to the investment thesis and why the stock may now offer better value. Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotech stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risk while identifying catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are expected to have a strong 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. Ryan Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, one analyst raised their price target, suggesting potential upside if the stock pulls back slightly. Defense stocks are also expected to perform well in 2026. As Hasson wrote, the modern defense industry will expand drone use; he highlighted five defense and drone stocks with momentum to watch. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to drift lower despite a solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious about the streaming giant and why a long-term bull case may need more clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data-center demand persist. Miller wrote that the proof may be visible in dividends paid by companies supporting the data-center trade, highlighting three firms that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. 2021 seems far away for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a COVID-19 vaccine winner, the stock has been under pressure in recent years. Miller outlined why there may be signs of life in MRNA stock after its best print in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotech continues to attract speculative investors. This week, Nathan Reiff pointed to three under-the-radar biotech names that have tangible catalysts that could drive growth in 2026. Warren Buffett has retired, but many still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) holds. Reiff identified two “Buffett stocks” that look promising for 2026 and explained why Berkshire may have sold a well-known healthcare name. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has an impressive growth story. Reiff offered three reasons to believe the company can press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt also covered defense stocks this week, focusing on three blue-chip defense names and why each is positioned for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and rising Pentagon budgets. Software stocks came under pressure after Anthropic's latest update to its "Claude Code" spooked investors. While it may not be wise to exit the sector entirely, Schmidt suggested three software stocks to avoid until the situation stabilizes. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson To shareholders' relief, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) got a lift from positive AI demand signals this week. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained how high short interest could set the stage for a short squeeze that might push SMCI past a key resistance level. Johnson also covered the partnership between Lemonade Inc. (NYSE: LMND) and Tesla to launch Lemonade's Autonomous Car Insurance offering—an innovation that may be an early example of how AI can disrupt auto insurance pricing. Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) was another winner this week, signing a long-term lease with Advanced Micro Devices that validated its Power First high-performance computing strategy. Articles by Jordan Chussler Fund investors should take note of Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space is set to grow in 2026 but is getting crowded; Chussler pointed to an ETF that serves as a one-stop shop for exposure to the sector. Cloud computing can create analysis paralysis for growth investors. Or, as Chussler wrote, investors can buy a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025. Gold and silver are starting to create full-blown FOMO (fear of missing out) among some investors. Chussler highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to both metals while offering the liquidity of equities.
