Special Report MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23By MarketBeat Staff. Published: 1/24/2026. After initially dropping on tariff fears early in 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 data and a final third-quarter GDP reading of 4.4% all point to expansion. Precious metals, however, may tell a different story. Gold and silver both pushed to new record highs, and some bullish forecasts have gold reaching $5,000 and silver $100. That suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. Corporate earnings will likely separate winners from losers — expectations are for strong results, but companies' forward guidance may matter more than headline numbers. A widely followed Wall Street analyst is highlighting AES Corp (AES) as a stock to watch right now, based on signals from his proprietary Power Gauge system. The model tracks factors like momentum, financial strength, and institutional activity across thousands of U.S. stocks.
He breaks down the full reasoning in a short briefing, including why AES is showing unusual strength at this stage of the market. See the full analysis here Quick Look - 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. The Fed is widely expected to hold interest rates steady, but analysts will listen closely for guidance on the path forward. Also, many of the largest technology stocks 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 recovered from a year-end sell-off. This week, Thomas Hughes explained why fundamentals, technical indicators and bullish analyst sentiment suggest the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still offers room for investors to get in: 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. Many regional banks reported this week, and one of the strongest reports came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes observed that the company's strong quarter may be a solid lead-in to double-digit upside in 2026, largely driven 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 late-year highs. This week, Sam Quirke outlined two ways to trade AMZN stock around the company's upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail favorite. Quirke noted that the debate over earnings — the stock's future growth versus its current valuation — will determine TSLA's direction after next week's report: battle between the stock's future growth and current valuation. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026 and looks oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why that could present an opportunity for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) doesn't report earnings until early February, but investors are already speculating on the post-earnings move. Markoch highlighted the one metric that suggests the smart money is more bullish than they may be indicating publicly. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings season. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to the bullish thesis, and why the stock looks like a better value. Markoch also highlighted three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risk while capturing catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are poised for a strong 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) should be among the leaders. 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 modest pullback. Defense stocks are also expected to perform well in 2026. Hasson wrote that the modern defense industry will expand drone use and highlighted five defense and drone stocks with momentum heading into 2026. Articles by Leo Miller Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continues to trade lower despite a solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious and why a long-term bull case may hinge on more clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data center demand persist. Miller highlighted three companies that have used increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. For Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), 2021 feels like a lifetime ago. The COVID-19 vaccine winner has been pummeled since, but Miller identified signs of life in MRNA stock after its best print in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotech continues to attract speculative investors. This week, Nathan Reiff pointed readers to 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 Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B)'s holdings. 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 an impressive growth story. Reiff offered three reasons he believes the company can press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt also wrote about defense stocks this week, focusing on three blue-chip defense stocks and why each is positioned for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and rising Pentagon budgets. Software stocks dipped 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 outlook steadies. 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 product. 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 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 note Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space should continue to grow in 2026 but is getting crowded; Chussler highlighted an ETF that serves as a one-stop shop for the sector. Cloud computing can cause analysis paralysis. Chussler suggested a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025 as a simpler option for growth investors. Gold and silver are generating FOMO among some investors. Chussler recommended three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
