Further Reading from MarketBeat Media MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23By MarketBeat Staff. Originally Published: 1/24/2026. Stocks plunged early in the week on tariff fears but then rallied 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 third-quarter GDP reading of 4.4% all point to expansion. Precious metals, however, may be telling a different story. Gold and silver both pushed to new record highs, with some speculation that gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That suggests some investors are seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. As a result, corporate earnings will increasingly separate winners from losers. Expectations are for strong earnings, but investors have already seen why forward guidance can be more important than headline numbers. A growing number of investors are paying attention to developments around private space companies and potential future public listings.
In a recent briefing, one research publisher outlines how some investors are seeking early exposure to the space economy through publicly traded assets — without waiting for a formal IPO. The presentation walks through the structure, risks, and mechanics behind this approach for those who want to understand how it works. Read the full sponsor briefing here What You Need to Know - 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 listening closely for guidance on the path of future moves. Plus, many of the largest technology stocks will 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 recovered somewhat 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 enter: room for investors to get in. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) is 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 institutional buying reflects optimism that catalysts will materialize in 2026. Many regional banks reported this week, and one of the stronger results came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted the company's strong quarter may set up 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 not reclaimed its all-time high. This week, Sam Quirke offered two ways to trade AMZN stock around the company's upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail favorite. Quirke noted the looming clash over earnings expectations — the battle between future growth and current valuation will likely determine the stock's direction after next week's report. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026 and appears oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why that could be an opportunity investors should consider. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report until early February, but investors are already speculating on the post-earnings move. This week, Markoch highlighted the one metric that suggests the smart money is more bullish than it may 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 now offer better value. Markoch also highlighted three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risk while positioning for catalysts in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are expected to have a strong 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be among the leaders. This week, Ryan Hasson noted that, despite RKLB being near its all-time high, one analyst has raised their price target, suggesting more upside if investors get a modest pullback. Defense stocks are also poised to perform well in 2026. Hasson discussed how the modern defense industry will expand drone use and offered five defense and drone stocks with momentum to watch. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to drift lower despite a solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious and why a long-term bull case may depend on clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data center demand persist. Miller noted the proof may be visible in dividends paid by companies supporting the data center trade and highlighted three firms that used increased demand to boost dividends by up to 60%. For Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), 2021 feels distant. Once a top COVID-19 vaccine winner, Moderna's shares have been beaten down in recent years. Miller detailed why there may be signs of life in MRNA stock after its best performance in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotechnology continues to attract speculative interest. 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 still follow Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B). Reiff identified two "Buffett stocks" that look promising in 2026 and explained why Berkshire may have sold a well-known healthcare holding. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has an impressive growth story. This week, Reiff offered 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 he believes are well-positioned for heightened geopolitical uncertainty and a rising Pentagon budget. Software stocks felt pressure after Anthropic's update to its "Claude Code" spooked investors. While exiting the sector entirely may be premature, Schmidt suggested three software stocks investors should avoid until sentiment stabilizes. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson 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. He outlined how this deal might be an early example of how AI can disrupt the auto insurance industry. Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) also had a notable 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 this week's work from Jordan Chussler. The GLP-1 weight-loss space continues to expand in 2026 but is getting crowded; Chussler highlighted an ETF that provides one-stop exposure to the sector. Cloud computing can cause analysis paralysis, or investors can choose a simpler route: Chussler recommended 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 suggested three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
