Wednesday's Bonus News MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23By MarketBeat Staff. Published: 1/24/2026. After moving sharply lower on tariff fears to start the week, stocks rallied as most economic indicators point to an economy that's growing strongly. An in-line reading on the November PCE inflation index, better-than-expected jobs numbers and a final read on third-quarter GDP of 4.4% are all signs of an expanding economy. Precious metals, however, tell a different story. Gold and silver both pushed to new record highs, with some forecasting that gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That suggests investors are seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. As a result, corporate earnings will separate the winners from the losers. Expectations are for strong results, but investors have already seen examples of why forward guidance may matter more than headline numbers. In a quiet move few people noticed...

The Federal Reserve meets next week. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady; analysts will be listening closely for 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 fundamental and technical indicators, along with bullish analyst sentiment, suggest the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still leaves room for investors to get in (read more). Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) is often treated 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, and one of the strongest results came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted the company's solid quarter could be a lead-in to 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 yet to reclaim the all-time high it set late last year. This week, Sam Quirke offered two ways to trade AMZN stock around its upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail favorite. Quirke noted the earnings period will highlight the debate between the stock's future growth prospects and its current valuation—the outcome of which should determine the stock's direction after next week's report (read more). Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026, leaving the stock curiously oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explains why that may present an opportunity for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report earnings until early February, but investors are already speculating. This week, Markoch pointed to one metric that suggests the smart money may be more bullish than they 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 represent better value than recent moves suggest. Markoch also highlighted three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risks while targeting catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are expected to have a strong year in 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. This week, Ryan Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, one analyst raised their price target, signaling potential for further upside, especially on a slight pullback. Defense stocks are also set to perform well in 2026. Hasson wrote that the modern defense industry will expand drone use and offered investors five defense and drone stocks with momentum for the year ahead. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to drift lower despite what many viewed as a solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious and why a long-term bull case may require more certainty around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data center demand persist. Miller suggested the proof may be reflected in dividends from companies supporting the data center trade and highlighted three firms that have boosted dividends by up to 60% thanks to increased infrastructure demand. 2021 feels like a long time ago for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a standout in the COVID-19 vaccine race, shares have been pummeled since. Miller explained why there may be signs of life in MRNA stock after its best print in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotechnology continues to attract speculative investors. This week, Nathan Reiff highlighted three under-the-radar biotech names that have tangible catalysts that could drive growth in 2026. Warren Buffett has retired, but many investors still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) holds. Reiff pointed out 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. This week, Reiff gave three reasons to believe the company may be able to press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt also covered defense stocks, 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 came under pressure after Anthropic's latest update to "Claude Code" spooked investors. While it may be premature 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 pushes 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. The deal may be an early 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 Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space is expected to keep growing in 2026, but it's becoming crowded. Chussler highlighted an ETF that acts as a one-stop shop for exposure to that 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 full-blown FOMO for some investors. Chussler pointed to three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals while offering the liquidity of equities.
