Exclusive Content MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Authored by MarketBeat Staff. Posted: 1/24/2026. After falling sharply on tariff fears to start the week, stocks recovered as most economic indicators point to a strongly growing economy. An in-line reading on the November PCE inflation index, better-than-expected jobs numbers, and a final reading of third-quarter GDP at 4.4% all point to expansion. However, precious metals tell a different story. Gold and silver pushed to new record highs, and some analysts even suggest gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time you read this. That suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. As a result, corporate earnings will separate the winners from the losers. While expectations are for strong results, recent reports have shown that forward guidance can be more important than headline numbers. Jerome Powell says gold is not money. The Fed says inflation is under control and the dollar is strong. But look at what they do. Central banks bought more gold last year than any time since 1967. China dumped $100 billion in U.S. debt, then bought gold. Poland, Hungary, Singapore, and Turkey are all loading up. In 2022, the U.S. froze Russia's money and showed the world that assets can be seized. Now major nations want out. There's only one asset no one can freeze: gold. Get the name and ticker of one stock positioned for this shift. 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; it is expected to hold interest rates steady, but analysts will be listening closely for guidance on the direction of future moves. Many of the largest technology stocks will also 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, mean the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still has room for investors to get in. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) 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 catalysts will materialize in 2026. This week many regional banks reported results, and one of the strongest 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 strong 2025, but the stock has yet to reclaim the all-time high it reached 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 favorite among retail investors. Quirke noted the battle over earnings will play out between the stock's future growth prospects and its current valuation; that tension will 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 somewhat oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why that could 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 on the stock's direction. Markoch highlighted one metric that suggests the 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 highlighted three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risk while providing 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. This week, Ryan Hasson noted that despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, one analyst raised their price target, suggesting further upside if investors get a slight pullback. Defense stocks are also poised to do well in 2026. Hasson wrote that the modern defense industry will expand drone use and offered five defense and drone stocks with momentum to watch. Articles by Leo Miller Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) shares continue to move lower despite what was broadly a solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious about the streaming giant and why a long-term bull case may have to wait for clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data center demand persist. Miller suggested the proof may be in the dividends of companies supporting the data center trade and highlighted three firms that have used increased data-center demand to boost dividends by up to 60%. It feels like 2021 was ages ago for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a COVID-19 vaccine winner, the stock has been pummeled 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 remains a magnet for 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 identified two "Buffett stocks" that look attractive for 2026 and explained why Berkshire may have sold a well-known healthcare name. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has posted an impressive growth story. Reiff offered 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 this week, focusing on three blue-chip defense companies 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 "Claude Code" spooked investors. While exiting the sector entirely may not be wise, Schmidt suggested three software stocks to avoid until the market calms. 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 that 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. This move may be an early example of how AI can disrupt the auto insurance industry. Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) was another winner this week after 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 pay attention to Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space will continue growing in 2026 but is getting crowded; Chussler highlighted an ETF that provides one-stop exposure to the sector. Cloud computing can induce analysis paralysis for investors. As Chussler wrote, investors could instead buy a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025. Gold and silver are creating full-blown FOMO among some investors. Chussler recommended three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
