Additional Reading from MarketBeat.com MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23By MarketBeat Staff. Article Posted: 1/24/2026. After falling sharply early in the week on tariff fears, stocks rallied as most economic indicators point to a robust economy. An in-line November PCE inflation reading, stronger-than-expected jobs data and a final third-quarter GDP reading of 4.4% all point to expansion. Precious metals, however, may be telling a different story. Gold and silver pushed to new record highs, and some suggest gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks move higher. As a result, corporate earnings will separate the winners from the losers. Expectations are for strong earnings, but recent reports have shown why forward guidance can matter more than headline numbers. A major force in the crypto world is quietly becoming one of gold's most aggressive buyers — and most investors have no idea it's happening.
A longtime gold analyst says profits from a leading stablecoin operation are being funneled into physical gold at a scale that could materially impact supply and demand. After a recent meeting with insiders, he began outlining what this trend could mean for gold prices and a small group of companies positioned to benefit. Read the full gold briefing here Key Points - 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 parsing any guidance on the path ahead. Many of the largest technology stocks also report earnings next week. MarketBeat analysts 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) 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 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 strong 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 the stock has yet to reclaim its late‑year high. 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 retail favorite. Quirke noted the earnings debate will center on the tension between the stock's future growth prospects and its current valuation in a piece on bulls vs. bears ahead of earnings. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has lagged so far in 2026, leaving the stock arguably oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why investors might consider capitalizing on that condition. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report until early February, but speculation is already building. This week, 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 thesis, and why the stock could offer better value. Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risk while identifying catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks look poised for a strong 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. This week, Ryan Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, an analyst raised their price target, suggesting more upside is possible on a modest pullback. Defense stocks are also expected to perform well in 2026. Hasson discussed how the modern defense industry will expand drone use and offered investors five defense and drone stocks with momentum going into 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 and why a long-term bull case may require more clarity on the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data center demand persist. Miller argued that the proof may be reflected in dividends and highlighted three companies that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. It feels like a long time since 2021 for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a COVID-19 vaccine winner, the stock has been pummeled. Miller outlined 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 with 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 highlighted two "Buffett stocks" that look like good bets in 2026 and examined 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 investors 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 stocks and why each is positioned for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and a rising Pentagon budget. Software stocks softened after Anthropic's update to "Claude Code" spooked investors. While exiting the sector entirely may be premature, Schmidt suggested three software stocks investors should avoid until the market settles. 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. It may be an early 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 should 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 a sector that's boosting portfolios while the companies shrink waistlines. Cloud computing can leave investors facing analysis paralysis. Or, as Chussler wrote, investors can opt for a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025. Gold and silver are creating FOMO for some investors. Chussler recommended three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals but trade with the liquidity of equities.
