More Reading from MarketBeat.com MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Authored by MarketBeat Staff. Publication Date: 1/24/2026. After dropping sharply on tariff fears early in the week, 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 print of 4.4% all point to expansion. Precious metals tell a different story. Gold and silver pushed to new record highs — and some commentators floated the possibility that gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time many investors read this. That suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. As a result, corporate earnings will separate winners from losers. Expectations are for robust results, but recent reports have shown why forward guidance can matter more than headline numbers. There are 90 paper gold claims for every real ounce in COMEX vaults. Ninety promises, one ounce of metal. It's like musical chairs with 90 players and one chair. COMEX gold inventory dropped 25 percent last year alone as gold flows East to Shanghai, Mumbai, and Moscow. On March 31st, contract holders can demand delivery. When similar situations arose in the past, markets closed and rules changed. Paper holders got crushed while mining stock holders made fortunes. One stock sits at the center of this crisis. Get the full story on this opportunity now. Key Takeaways - 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 path 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 — along with bullish analyst sentiment — suggest the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still has room for investors to join. 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 institutions are buying on optimism that catalysts for FAST 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 may be a solid 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 set late last year. This week Sam Quirke outlined two ways to trade AMZN around the company’s upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail investor favorite. Quirke highlighted that the coming earnings report will underscore the showdown between the stock’s future growth prospects and its current valuation — a battle that should determine TSLA’s direction after the release. Read more. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026, leaving the stock curiously oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why that may present an opportunity investors should consider. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) doesn’t report earnings until early February, but investors are already speculating on the aftermath. This week Markoch highlighted the one metric that suggests smart money may be more bullish than it appears. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into its earnings report. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to the investment thesis and why the stock still looks like a better value than some expect. Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotechnology stocks that demonstrate ways to manage biotech risk while identifying catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are expected to do well in 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) looks poised to lead. This week Ryan Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, one analyst raised their price target, suggesting more upside if investors see a modest 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 to watch next year. 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 require more clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. The debate over data center demand won’t disappear soon. 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 a major winner in the COVID-19 vaccine race, but shares have been beaten down since. Miller outlined why there may be signs of life in MRNA stock after its best performance in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotech stocks continue 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 pointed out two “Buffett stocks” that look like solid 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 gave investors 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 names 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 update to its “Claude Code” spooked investors. While it may not be wise to exit the sector entirely, Schmidt suggested three software stocks to avoid until the outlook stabilizes. 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 that high short interest could set the stage for a short squeeze capable of pushing 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 — the company’s latest innovation and a potential example of how AI could disrupt auto insurance pricing. 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 should keep growing in 2026 but is getting crowded. Chussler pointed to an ETF that acts as a one-stop shop for exposure to a sector that’s boosting portfolios while the companies shrink waistlines. Cloud computing is another area where investors can suffer from analysis paralysis. Or, as Chussler suggested, investors can buy a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025. Gold and silver are starting to create full-blown FOMO (fear of missing out). Chussler highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
