Just For You MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13By MarketBeat Staff. Originally Published: 3/14/2026. Despite continued volatility, stocks have remained resilient as investors navigate the fog of war. The story is largely about oil: when crude prices rise, stocks often fall, and vice versa. But the bigger concern is uncertainty—specifically, how long the conflict will last and what energy prices will look like afterward. The economic indicators look generally favorable. CPI came in as expected, continuing to show that inflation is moderating toward the Federal Reserve's preferred target. Earnings season has also supported the view of an economy that remains resilient. All of this builds toward the Fed meeting and decision next Wednesday. Interest rates are likely to remain unchanged. Whatever the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will help point out the opportunities that volatility brings. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. Our investment research analysts are going to be releasing their next investment idea tomorrow morning, around 10:00 AM Eastern time. Add yourself to the distribution list here. In Brief - Stocks moved lower this week on investor uncertainty over the length of the Iran conflict and its impact on oil prices.
- The economic indicators remain favorable and support the likelihood that interest rates will remain unchanged after next week’s Federal Reserve meeting.
- Here are some of our most popular articles from this week.
Articles by Thomas Hughes SpaceX is one of the most discussed companies, and it isn't trading publicly—yet. This week, Thomas Hughes explained why SpaceX is critical to the commercial space industry and why the deal structure will be key to making the initial public offering (IPO) happen. Hughes also covered the earnings report from FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ: FCEL). The balance sheet is improving, but the company continues to burn cash, underscoring the challenges that remain in bringing hydrogen mainstream. Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) delivered a solid earnings report this week. Hughes noted the stock may present a buy-now, get-paid-later scenario, and many still expect a potential special dividend. Articles by Sam Quirke Sam Quirke observed that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) shareholders may need to be careful about what they wish for. The company reported higher EV sales in China, but it wasn't enough to lift the stock, which investors now seem to view more as an AI/robotics play. Quirke also checked in on Atlassian Corp. (NASDAQ: TEAM). The stock is down roughly 80% over the past year, making it one of the hardest-hit technology names in the AI fear trade. Read Quirke's piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are usually considered long-term investments rather than trades, but these aren't normal times. Quirke analyzed the surge in Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) and explained why the trade may unwind faster than investors expect. Articles by Chris Markoch The recent stock sell-off is a reminder that valuation doesn't matter until it does, which has pushed investors back into blue-chip names. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities well-suited for a sector rotation trade. Gold continues to draw attention in the metals and mining space. Markoch also pointed out the emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks could help offset supply gaps from aging mines. Markoch covered Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), the maker of AI-powered weapons-detection systems. The company reported a surprise profit this quarter on strong demand, which could change the long-term outlook for this speculative stock. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the top performers among the Magnificent Seven over the past year. Ryan Hasson analyzed the recent pullback and explained why the fundamentals suggest this is a healthy correction within a long-term uptrend. The circular AI trade continues. This week, NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced a $2 billion investment in Nebius Group NV (NASDAQ: NBIS). Hasson explored the next logical question: is it time to invest in NBIS? Some investors seek the relative safety of dividend stocks during volatile periods. Looking for yield can be a trap, but Hasson highlighted five high-yield stocks with histories of outperforming during market stress. Articles by Leo Miller Leo Miller offered two ideas for picking stocks in volatile markets. One is to look for companies where insiders are buying shares when the stock is out of favor—Miller identified three insider-buying stocks that fit this pattern. Investors can also focus on companies announcing sizable buyback programs. Miller highlighted three companies that have announced substantial buybacks, a generally bullish signal. After a strong earnings report, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) is closing the custom-chip gap with Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO). Miller explained why the post-earnings surge may be just the beginning. Articles by Nathan Reiff D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) remains one of the most promising names in quantum computing. Nathan Reiff, however, reminded investors that D-Wave is still far from profitability, which is tempering investor enthusiasm. Biotechnology is poised for a strong year, especially companies working on oncology treatments. Reiff highlighted two small-cap biotech stocks that recently launched cancer drugs and outlined the growth challenges they still face. Although gold has lost some of its shine, it still looks like a good year for the metal. Reiff outlined three ways for investors to own gold without taking custody of physical metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have slid since the conflict with Iran began, but Dan Schmidt noted that broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient investors. He highlighted three European stocks that investors may want to buy at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be over. If so, speculators might re-enter the crypto trade. Schmidt suggested three crypto-related stocks that don't require owning specific coins. It's been a strong two weeks to buy oil-related stocks, but which ones should investors avoid? Schmidt answered that question with a list of three ETFs to sell as oil trades near multi-year highs. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM) reported a surprise profit, but Jeffrey Neal Johnson noted that the bigger story is the acquisition. The company is being acquired, creating "a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors." On mergers and acquisitions, Johnson also discussed the potential tie-up between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). A merger with its largest rival would position Cintas as an industry juggernaut. Earnings from retail stocks this season show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. That means Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) are once again proving their value to treasure-hunt consumers. Articles by Jordan Chussler In volatile times, keeping things simple can pay off. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense-sector ETF could keep rallying during the Iran conflict and is loaded with companies poised to benefit from increased Pentagon spending. One of the week's biggest stories was the deal between Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) and Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO). The two companies went from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders are reaping the benefits. The EV trade remains concentrated among a few names. This week, NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) re-entered the conversation after it reported a surprise profit that could help it gain market share in China. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods An unusually warm winter might imply a falling stock price for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but Jennifer Ryan Woods explained the situation is more nuanced. MTN's price action is subdued as investor sentiment remains mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but "choiceful" behavior is likely to remain part of the conversation into 2026. This week, Woods suggested three ETFs that could benefit as consumers tighten their budgets. Articles by Peter Frank Investors need to choose carefully when evaluating regional bank stocks. Peter Frank explained how several acquisitions have allowed Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) to expand beyond its Midwest roots, which could signal a growth story that goes beyond a compounding dividend.
