Just For You MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Authored by MarketBeat Staff. Posted: 1/24/2026. After falling sharply on tariff fears early in the week, stocks rallied as most economic indicators point to a still-robust economy. An in-line reading on the November PCE inflation index, combined with better-than-expected jobs numbers and a final read on third-quarter GDP of 4.4%, is consistent with an expanding economy. But precious metals may tell a different story. Gold and silver both pushed to new record highs, and some commentators even suggested gold could hit $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That divergence suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. As a result, corporate earnings will help distinguish winners from losers. Expectations are for strong earnings, but recent reports have shown why forward guidance can matter more than headline numbers. Some analysts are revisiting historical monetary resets and the role gold has played when governments faced large debt imbalances.
A new free report examines how gold was previously revalued to support national balance sheets, why recent comments from policymakers and investors have renewed interest in this topic, and what individuals may want to understand about protecting long-term savings during periods of monetary change. Download the free report 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 widely expected to hold rates steady; analysts will be listening closely for any guidance on the path of future moves. Plus, many of the largest technology stocks will report earnings next week. The MarketBeat analysts will have every angle covered. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. Articles by Thomas Hughes Chip stocks have been recovering from a year-end sell-off. This week, Thomas Hughes explained why fundamental and technical indicators, along with bullish analyst sentiment, mean the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still offers room for investors to join in: room for investors to get in. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) often acts 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 the company's catalysts will materialize in 2026. Many regional banks reported this week, and one of the strongest showings came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted that the company's strong quarter could set up 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 the stock has yet to reclaim the all-time high from late last year. This week, Sam Quirke outlined two ways to trade AMZN stock around the company's upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail favorite, and Quirke said the real debate ahead of earnings is the trade-off between future growth and current valuation. His piece, the battle between the stock's future growth and current valuation, explains why that tension will determine TSLA's direction after the report. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026 and appears oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explains why that could create an opportunity for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report until early February, but investors are already speculating on the post-earnings move. Markoch highlighted one metric that suggests the smart money is more bullish than it may appear. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch lays out what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to the thesis, and why the stock may represent a better value. Markoch also identified three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risk while maintaining catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are expected to be strong in 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, one analyst has raised their price target, suggesting more upside if investors see a modest pullback. Defense names are also positioned to perform well in 2026. As Hasson wrote, the modern defense industry will expand drone use, and 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 generally solid earnings report. Miller explained why investors remain cautious and why a long-term bull case may depend on more clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. The question of data center demand persists. Miller highlighted three companies that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. 2021 feels like a long time ago for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a COVID-19 vaccine standout, the stock has been hit in recent years. Miller outlined signs of life in MRNA stock after its best print in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotech names continue to draw speculative interest. Nathan Reiff pointed investors to three under-the-radar biotech stocks that have tangible catalysts that could drive growth in 2026. Though Warren Buffett has retired, many still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) holds. Reiff highlighted two "Buffett stocks" that look like sensible bets in 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 a rising Pentagon budget. Software names came under pressure after Anthropic's latest update to "Claude Code" rattled investors. While exiting the sector entirely may not be warranted, Schmidt suggested three software stocks to avoid until the dust settles. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson To the relief of shareholders, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) received a lift this week from positive AI demand signals. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained how high short interest could set the stage for a short squeeze that pushes SMCI past a key resistance level. Johnson also covered Lemonade Inc.'s partnership with Tesla to launch Autonomous Car Insurance. This is the company's latest innovation and may be an early example of how AI could 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 note Jordan Chussler's coverage this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space should continue to expand in 2026 but is getting crowded; Chussler highlighted an ETF that provides a one-stop shop for exposure to the sector. Cloud computing can induce analysis paralysis for growth investors. Chussler suggested a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025 as a simpler option. As gold and silver create broader FOMO, Chussler recommended three ETFs that offer exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
