Just For You MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Submitted by MarketBeat Staff. Article Published: 1/24/2026. Stocks slipped early in the week on tariff fears but later rallied, as several economic indicators point to robust growth. An in-line November PCE inflation reading, better-than-expected jobs numbers and a final third-quarter GDP print of 4.4% all point to an expanding economy. Precious metals, however, may tell a different story. Gold and silver pushed to record highs, with some forecasting gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That suggests investors are seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. Corporate earnings will therefore separate winners from losers. While earnings are expected to be strong, investors have already seen that forward guidance can matter more than the headline numbers. Recently, President Trump decided to kill the coin, for good reason. It now costs 4 cents to make a single penny. Which means the government is losing 3 cents on every one it mints.
But the truth behind Trump's decision may be stranger than you think. What's really happening and what it could mean for your money 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 also 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 are recovering from a year-end sell-off. This week, Thomas Hughes explained why fundamental and technical indicators, plus bullish analyst sentiment, suggest the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still offers room for investors to get in: read more. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) often 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 stronger reports came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted the company's strong quarter may 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 yet to reclaim last year's all-time high. 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 the decisive debate will be between the stock's future growth prospects and its current valuation — a battle that will likely determine TSLA's direction after next week's earnings: more here. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026, leaving the stock arguably 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 earnings until early February, but investors are already speculating on the post-report direction. This week, Markoch highlighted the one metric that suggests the smart money may be more bullish than commonly perceived. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, outlines challenges to the thesis and why the stock may represent better value. Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotechnology stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risk while retaining catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are expected to perform well in 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. Ryan Hasson pointed out that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, one analyst raised their price target, suggesting further upside if investors see a modest pullback. Defense stocks are also poised to do well in 2026. Hasson wrote that the modern defense industry will expand drone use and offered investors five defense and drone stocks with momentum heading into the year. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) have continued to drift lower 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 hinge on more certainty around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. The debate about 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 seems like a long time ago for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a COVID-19 vaccine winner, the stock has been pummeled in recent years. Miller outlined why there may be signs of life in MRNA after its best print in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotechnology continues to attract speculative investors. This week, Nathan Reiff pointed to 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 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 posted an impressive growth story. Reiff gave investors three reasons to believe the company may be able to press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt profiled three blue-chip defense stocks and explained why each is positioned for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and a rising Pentagon budget: read more. Software stocks felt pressure after Anthropic's update to its "Claude Code" unsettled investors. While exiting the sector may not be prudent, Schmidt suggested three software stocks to 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 noted 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 offering — an example of how AI could 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 take note of Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space should continue to grow in 2026 but is getting crowded; Chussler pointed to an ETF that acts as a one-stop shop for exposure to the sector. Cloud computing can induce analysis paralysis. As Chussler wrote, investors can instead consider 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 with the liquidity of equities.
