This Week's Featured Article MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Written by MarketBeat Staff. Originally Published: 1/24/2026. Stocks initially fell sharply on tariff fears at the start of the week but then rallied as most economic indicators pointed to an economy growing strongly. An in-line reading on the November PCE inflation index, a better-than-expected jobs report, and a final read on third-quarter GDP of 4.4% are all signs of expansion. Precious metals, however, tell a different story. Gold and silver pushed to new record highs this week, with some suggesting gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time many investors read this. That divergence suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. As a result, corporate earnings will separate the winners from the losers. Expectations are for strong earnings, but recent reports show forward guidance may matter more than headline numbers. For years, Americans were told to keep money in the market and ride out volatility. That advice worked until it didn't. Central banks are now buying gold at record levels while governments quietly prepare for a new monetary framework. Your retirement account is likely exposed to risks you can't control: inflation eating away purchasing power, market swings erasing years of gains, and a weakening dollar. A growing number of Americans are moving part of their retirement savings into physical gold, real tangible assets held outside the traditional financial system. Get the free guide explaining how a Gold IRA works and whether it makes sense for you. Summary - 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 interest rates steady. Analysts will be listening closely for any guidance on the direction of future moves. Plus, many of the largest technology stocks will report earnings next week. 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 a combination of fundamental and technical indicators — along with bullish analyst sentiment — means the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still has 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. Institutions are buying on optimism that the catalysts for FAST will materialize in 2026. Many regional banks reported this week, and one of the strongest results came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted the company’s strong quarter could be a lead-in to double-digit upside in 2026, largely fueled by its acquisition of Comerica Bank. Articles by Sam Quirke Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) had a solid 2025 but has yet to reclaim its all-time high from late last year. This week, Sam Quirke offered investors two ways to trade AMZN stock around the company’s upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a favorite among retail investors. Quirke noted the real battleground will be earnings: the debate between the stock’s future growth and its current valuation should determine TSLA’s direction after next week’s report. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has lagged to start 2026 and appears oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why investors might consider taking advantage of that condition. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won’t report until early February, but investors are already speculating on its post-earnings trajectory. This week, Markoch highlighted the one metric that suggests the smart money is more bullish than they may appear. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to the thesis, and why the stock may offer better value than it appears. Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotechnology stocks that demonstrate ways to manage biotech risk while identifying catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are expected to perform well in 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. Hasson noted that despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, one analyst recently raised their price target, suggesting more upside if investors get a modest pullback. Defense stocks also look poised to do well in 2026. Hasson discussed how the modern defense industry will expand drone use and offered investors five defense and drone stocks with momentum to watch. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to slide despite an otherwise solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious about the streaming giant and why a long-term bull case may require more certainty around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data center demand persist. Miller wrote that the proof may be in the dividends of companies supporting the data center trade and highlighted three firms 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). The company was a major winner in the COVID-19 vaccine race, but shares have been pummeled since. Miller outlined why there may be signs of life in MRNA stock after its best print in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotechnology stocks continue 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 investors still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) is holding. Reiff highlighted two "Buffett stocks" that look like good 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 gave investors three reasons to believe the company may be able to sustain 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 stocks are under pressure after Anthropic’s latest update to "Claude Code" spooked investors. While it may not be wise to exit the sector entirely, Schmidt suggested three software stocks investors should avoid until things settle. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson To the relief of shareholders, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) got 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 might push SMCI past a key resistance level. Johnson also wrote about the partnership between Lemonade Inc. (NYSE: LMND) and Tesla to launch Lemonade’s Autonomous Car Insurance offering. This latest innovation may be the first example of how AI can disrupt the auto insurance industry. 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 this week’s pieces from Jordan Chussler. The GLP-1 weight-loss space will keep growing in 2026, but it’s getting crowded. Chussler pointed investors to an ETF that acts as a one-stop shop for exposure to the sector. Cloud computing is another area where investors can suffer from analysis paralysis. Chussler recommended a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025. Gold and silver are creating FOMO (fear of missing out) among some investors. Chussler outlined three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
