Featured Story from MarketBeat MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Submitted by MarketBeat Staff. Article Posted: 1/24/2026. After moving sharply lower on tariff fears to start 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, combined with better-than-expected jobs numbers and a final read on third-quarter GDP of 4.4%, are all examples of an expanding economy. Precious metals, however, may tell another story. Gold and silver both pushed to new record highs, with the possibility that gold could hit $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks rise. As a result, corporate earnings will distinguish winners from losers. Expectations are for strong earnings, but recent reports show forward guidance may matter more 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 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. The Fed is expected to hold interest rates steady, but analysts will listen closely for guidance on the direction of future moves. Plus, many of the largest technology stocks will 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 been recovering 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 get in: room for investors to get in. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) acts as a bellwether for the economy. After a sell-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 noted the company's strong quarter could 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 solid 2025, but the stock has failed to reclaim the all-time high it set late last year. This week, Sam Quirke gave investors two ways to trade AMZN stock around the company's upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail-investor favorite. Quirke noted the debate over earnings—between future growth and current valuation—will be key to the stock's direction after next week's report: the battle between the stock's future growth and current valuation. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026 and looks curiously oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why investors might be wise to capitalize on that condition. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report earnings until early February, but investors are already speculating about where PLTR stock will go afterward. This week, Markoch highlighted one metric that suggests the smart money is 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 looks like a better value. Markoch also wrote about three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risk, while providing 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) should be among the leaders. This week, Ryan Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, an analyst raised a price target, suggesting there could be more upside—especially on a mild 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 gaining momentum in 2026. Articles by Leo Miller Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) shares continue to move lower 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 have to wait for more clarity on the Warner Bros. Studios deal. The debate over data center demand persists. Miller highlighted three companies that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. 2021 feels like a long time ago for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). The company was one of the biggest winners in the COVID-19 vaccine race, but shares have been pummeled in recent years. Miller outlined 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 which could drive growth in 2026. Warren Buffett has retired, but many investors still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) is holding. 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 offered three reasons to believe the company may be able to 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 came under pressure after Anthropic's latest update to its "Claude Code" spooked investors. While it may not make sense to exit the sector entirely, Schmidt suggested three software stocks investors should avoid until things settle. 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 might push SMCI past a key resistance level. Johnson also wrote about the partnership between Lemonade Inc. (NYSE: LMND) and Tesla to launch Lemonade's Autonomous Car Insurance offering. This latest innovation may be one of the first examples 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 continue to grow 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 expanding portfolios while the companies shrink waistlines. Cloud computing is another sector that can cause analysis paralysis. 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 for some investors. Chussler highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
