Exclusive Article MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Submitted by MarketBeat Staff. Published: 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 of the November PCE inflation index, better-than-expected jobs numbers, and a final read showing third-quarter GDP at 4.4% are all signs of a growing economy. Precious metals may tell a different story. Gold and silver both pushed to record highs, and there's even speculation 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 move higher. As a result, corporate earnings will separate the winners from the losers. Expectations call for strong earnings, but investors have already seen why forward guidance can matter more than the headline numbers. On December 5th, I predicted the White House would invest in USA Rare Earth (USAR)...
On January 24th, the Government sent shares soaring after announcing a $1.6 billion stake. Click here for the stock I predict it will buy next. At a Glance - 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 be listening closely for guidance on the likely direction of future moves. Plus, many of the largest technology stocks will report earnings next week. The 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, combined with bullish analyst sentiment, mean the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still leaves 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 for the company 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 the all-time high it hit late last year. This week, Sam Quirke offered two ways to trade AMZN stock around the company's upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a favorite among retail investors. Quirke noted the debate over earnings — the company's future growth versus its current valuation — will determine the stock's direction after next week's report. Read more: Tesla bulls vs. bears are getting loud ahead of earnings. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026, leaving the stock curiously oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explains why that may present an opportunity for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report earnings until early February, but investors are already speculating on post-earnings direction. This week, Markoch highlighted the one metric that suggests the smart money is more bullish than they may be letting on. 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 represent better value. Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate how investors can manage biotech risk while pursuing 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, Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, an analyst raised a price target, suggesting potential upside, especially if the stock pulls back slightly. 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 to watch. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to drift lower despite what was, by many measures, a solid earnings report. Miller explained why investors remain cautious about the streaming giant and why a long-term bull case may hinge on more clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. The debate about data center demand persists. Miller noted 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 long time ago. The company was a major winner in the COVID-19 vaccine race, but shares have been pressured in recent years. Miller discussed 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 interest. 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 pointed to two "Buffett stocks" that look attractive 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. This week, Reiff offered three reasons to believe the company can press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Schmidt also covered defense 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 are under pressure after Anthropic's newest update to "Claude Code" spooked investors. While it may be premature to exit the sector entirely, Schmidt suggested three software stocks investors should avoid until the situation stabilizes. 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 wrote about the partnership between Lemonade Inc. (NYSE: LMND) and Tesla to launch Lemonade's Autonomous Car Insurance offering. This innovation 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 pay attention to Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space will continue to grow in 2026, but it's getting crowded. Chussler pointed to an ETF that acts as a one-stop shop for exposure to the sector. Cloud computing can breed 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 (fear of missing out) among some investors. Chussler highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals while offering the liquidity of equities.
