This Week's Bonus Story MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Author: MarketBeat Staff. Date Posted: 1/24/2026. Stocks moved sharply lower on tariff fears at the start of the week, but then 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 numbers and a final read on third-quarter GDP of 4.4% are all signs of an expanding economy. Precious metals may tell a different story. Gold and silver pushed to new record highs — and some are speculating gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. This suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as they lift many stocks higher. Corporate earnings will help separate the winners from the losers. Although earnings are expected to be strong, recent reports have shown that forward guidance can matter more than the headline figures. Gold recently broke past nearly $5,000, but one analyst is excited about something else that could do much better. Every time gold has a big run, certain stocks go absolutely crazy. During the 2000s gold rally, gold itself rose 454 percent. But some stocks delivered gains of 5,090, 7,746, and 9,850 percent. In fact, 98 different stocks hit at least 1,000 percent gains during that period. Now we may be in the early stages of the biggest gold bull market yet, and five companies have been identified with explosive potential. Discover these five picks before the window closes. 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 listen closely for any guidance on the direction of future moves. Many of the largest technology stocks will also report earnings. 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 — plus bullish analyst sentiment — suggest the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still offers room for investors to enter: 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 FAST stock found support near its 52-week low, and institutions are buying on optimism that catalysts will materialize in 2026: FAST stock found support near its 52-week low. This week many regional banks reported, and one of the strongest quarters came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted the company's strong quarter may be a solid lead-in to double-digit upside in 2026, primarily fueled by its acquisition of Comerica Bank. Articles by Sam Quirke Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) had a strong 2025, but the stock has not reclaimed the all-time high it made 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 says the earnings report will ignite a battle between proponents of the stock's future growth and critics focused on its current valuation: the battle between the stock's future growth and current valuation. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has lagged the market to start 2026 and now looks oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why investors may want to consider taking advantage of that condition. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report earnings until early February, but investors are already speculating about the stock's direction. This week Markoch highlighted one metric that suggests institutional investors may be more bullish than they admit. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, outlines challenges to the bullish thesis, and argues why the stock may be a better value. Markoch also wrote about three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage the risks of biotech investing while highlighting 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 has raised their price target, suggesting more upside if investors see a slight pullback. Defense stocks are also expected 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 2026. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to slide despite what was, by most measures, 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 certainty around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. The debate over data center demand won't fade soon. Miller highlighted three companies that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. It feels like ages since 2021 for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a standout winner in the COVID-19 vaccine race, the stock has been pummeled in recent years. Miller explained 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 many investors will still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) holds. 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 press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt wrote about defense stocks this week, focusing on three blue-chip defense stocks that are positioned for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and a rising Pentagon budget. 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 investors should avoid until things settle. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson To shareholders' relief, 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. It may be the first example of how AI can disrupt the auto insurance industry. Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) was another winner this week. The company signed 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 continue 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 sector where investors can suffer from analysis paralysis. As Chussler wrote, investors can 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 for some investors. Chussler highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
