More Reading from MarketBeat MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23By MarketBeat Staff. Published: 1/24/2026. After an early-week drop on tariff fears, stocks rallied as most economic indicators point to a strongly growing 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 tell a different story. Gold and silver pushed to new record highs, and some commentators suggest gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. This suggests investors may be buying safe havens even as many stocks climb. As a result, corporate earnings will distinguish winners from losers. While expectations are for strong earnings, investors have already seen why forward guidance may matter more than the headline numbers. Firing Your Financial Advisor: The 5 Major Red Flags
Many investors miss these warning signs. Learn five red flags that trigger advisor reviews. Article Highlights - 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 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, 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) is often treated 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 for FAST will materialize in 2026. This week many regional banks reported earnings, and one of the strongest reports came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted that the company's solid quarter could set up double-digit upside in 2026, primarily fueled 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 all-time 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 that the debate over earnings will determine the stock's near-term direction; the tension between future growth and current valuation will be key after next week's report. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has lagged to start 2026 and appears 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 until early February, but investors are already speculating on post-earnings moves. This week, Markoch pointed to the one metric that suggests the smart money is more bullish than it appears. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is entering earnings with some weakness. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to its thesis, and why the stock looks like a better value. Markoch also highlighted three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate how investors can manage biotech risk while retaining 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 raised their price target, suggesting additional upside on a 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. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to slide despite what was, by many measures, a solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious and why a long-term bull case may depend on more clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data center demand persist. Miller argued that the proof may be in the dividends of companies supporting the data center trade, and highlighted three firms that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. For Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), 2021 feels like a different era. The company was a major winner in the COVID-19 vaccine race, but its shares have been pummeled since. Miller wrote about signs that there may be life returning to MRNA stock after its best performance 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 still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) holds. Reiff singled out 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 delivered 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 as well, 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 are under pressure after Anthropic's latest update to "Claude Code" unsettled investors. While it may be premature to exit the sector entirely, Schmidt suggested three software stocks investors should avoid until conditions stabilize. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson To the relief of shareholders, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) received 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 key resistance. Johnson also covered the partnership between Lemonade Inc. (NYSE: LMND) and Tesla to launch Lemonade's Autonomous Car Insurance. He explored how this latest innovation could be an early example of AI disrupting 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 coverage this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space will continue to grow in 2026 but is getting crowded; Chussler pointed to an ETF that serves as a one-stop shop for exposure to that theme. Cloud computing can cause analysis paralysis for growth investors. Or, as Chussler wrote, investors can 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 highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals while maintaining the liquidity of equities.
