Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Author: MarketBeat Staff. First Published: 3/14/2026. Despite continued volatility, stocks have stayed 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 larger theme is uncertainty — specifically, how long the conflict will continue and what energy prices will look like when it ends. The economic indicators look generally favorable. The CPI reading 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 leads up to the Federal Reserve meeting and its decision next Wednesday. Interest rates are likely to remain unchanged, and whatever the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will highlight opportunities that volatility can create. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently told Fortune gold could "easily" hit $10,000. Combined with the uncertainty we've seen in 2026—tariffs, war, a shaky dollar—the case for gold has never been stronger. But here's the uncomfortable truth: Most people will run out and buy bullion or mining stocks and miss the biggest gains entirely. There's an overlooked gold strategy almost no one talks about that has nothing to do with owning physical metals, gold ETFs, or even traditional miners—and in one historic period, it turned every $5,000 invested into more than $1.6 million.

- The economic indicators remain favorable and support the likelihood that interest rates will remain unchanged after next week’s Federal Reserve meeting.

Articles by Thomas Hughes SpaceX is one of the most discussed companies, and it's not 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 wrote about the earnings report from FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ: FCEL). The balance sheet is improving, but the company continues to burn cash, highlighting the challenges that remain to bring hydrogen mainstream. Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) delivered a solid earnings report this week. Hughes noted the stock offers investors a buy-now, get-paid-later scenario, and many still believe a special dividend is possible. Articles by Sam Quirke This week, Sam Quirke suggested the message to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) shareholders might be: be careful what you wish for. The company reported increased 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 company's stock is down roughly 80% over the last year, one of the hardest-hit technology stocks amid AI-related fears. Read Quirke's piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are often viewed as long-term investments rather than trades. But these aren't normal times, which is why Quirke analyzed the surge in Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) stock 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 helps explain why investors are piling back into blue-chip names. This week, Chris Markoch gave investors three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for a sector rotation trade. Gold continues to attract attention in metals and mining. Markoch also pointed out an emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks may be positioned to pick up the slack from aging mines. Markoch wrote about Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), the maker of AI-powered weapons-detection systems, which reported a surprise profit this quarter on strong demand — a development that could change the long-term outlook for this speculative stock. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the best performers among the Mag 7 over the past 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the recent pullback in GOOGL and explained why the fundamentals suggest a healthy pullback 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 addressed 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 This week, Leo Miller offered two ideas for picking stocks in volatile times. One is to track insider buying when stocks are out of favor — the basis for the three insider-buying stocks Miller identified. Investors can also look for companies that announce substantial stock buyback programs. Miller highlighted three names that have announced sizable buybacks, which is generally a bullish signal. After a strong earnings report this week, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) is beginning to close 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) continues to demonstrate why it's one of the most promising names in quantum computing. Nathan Reiff also reminded investors that D-Wave remains far from profitability, which has tempered investor enthusiasm. Biotech is expected to have a strong year, especially companies working on oncology treatments. This week, Reiff highlighted two small-cap biotech stocks that recently launched cancer drugs and discussed the growth challenges they still face. Although gold has lost a bit of its luster, it still looks like a promising year to own the yellow metal. Reiff outlined three ways to play gold without taking physical custody of the metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have fallen since the conflict with Iran began. Dan Schmidt reminded investors that broad selloffs can create opportunities for patient buyers and highlighted three European stocks investors may want to buy at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be ending. If so, it could be time for speculators to re-enter the crypto trade. Schmidt offered three crypto-related stocks that don't require holding specific coins. It's been a strong two weeks for oil-related stocks, but which names should investors avoid? Schmidt answered that question with a list of three ETFs investors may want 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 in its earnings report. But Jeffrey Neal Johnson noted the bigger story for ZIM stock is that the company is being acquired, creating "a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors." On the topic of mergers and acquisitions, Johnson highlighted a potential tie-up between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). A merger with its largest rival would, Johnson argued, be creating 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 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 is likely to keep rallying during the Iran conflict and is full of companies positioned to benefit from increased Pentagon spending. One of the biggest stories this week was the deal between Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) and Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO). The two companies went from combatants to partners, and HIMS shareholders are the beneficiaries. The EV trade remains focused on a few key 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 seem bad for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but as Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, the story is more complex. MTN's price action is subdued as investor sentiment remains mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but "choiceful" behavior is likely to shape 2026. This week, Woods suggested three ETFs that could benefit as consumers tighten their budgets. Articles by Peter Frank Like much of the broader market, regional bank stocks require careful selection. Peter Frank explained how several acquisitions are helping Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) expand beyond its Midwest roots, which could signal a growth story that goes beyond a compounding dividend. |
