Exclusive News MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Author: MarketBeat Staff. Publication Date: 3/14/2026. Despite continued volatility, stocks have remained resilient as investors navigate the fog of war. The story is largely about oil: when the price of crude rises, stocks tend to fall, and vice versa. The larger issue is uncertainty—specifically, how long the conflict will continue and what energy prices will look like when it's over. 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 into the Fed meeting and decision next Wednesday. Interest rates are likely to remain unchanged. Regardless of the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will highlight the opportunities that volatility creates. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. In 2023, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in just 48 hours with panicked customers draining $42 billion in a single day, but it could be nothing compared to what's coming next—through Federal Reserve Docket No. OP-1670, the government is rolling out FedNow, an instant 24/7 payment hub that over 1,500 banks have already connected to, and when money moves at the speed of light, a modern bank run won't take days. By routing every transaction through a single centralized hub, the Fed is building the ultimate kill switch for the American banking system, and when the next financial crisis hits, the Federal Reserve could instantly freeze all transfers, withdrawals, and payments nationwide to protect the system, trapping your life savings inside. Get the 4 steps to Fed-proof your savings now Summary - 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 talked-about companies—and it hasn't gone public 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, highlighting the challenges that remain in bringing hydrogen mainstream. Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) delivered a solid earnings report this week. Hughes noted that the stock offers a buy-now, get-paid-later scenario, and many investors still believe it could include a special dividend. Articles by Sam Quirke This week, Sam Quirke suggested that Tesla shareholders should be careful what they wish for. The company reported increased EV sales in China, but that 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 past year, making it one of the hardest-hit technology stocks in the AI fear trade. Read Quirke's piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil names are often treated as investments rather than trades, but these aren't normal times. 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 sell-off is a reminder that valuation doesn't matter—until it does. Investors are piling back into blue-chip names, and this week Chris Markoch highlighted three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for the sector-rotation trade. Gold remains in focus in the metals and mining trade, but Markoch pointed out an emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks could step in to fill the gap left by aging mines. Markoch also covered Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV). The maker of AI-powered weapons-detection systems reported a surprise profit this quarter on strong demand—an outcome 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-performing names among the Magnificent Seven over the past 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the latest pullback in GOOGL and explained why the fundamentals suggest this is a healthy retracement 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 helped investors answer 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 sometimes be a trap, but Hasson highlighted five high-yield stocks that have a history of outperforming in times of market stress. Articles by Leo Miller This week, Leo Miller offered two ideas for picking stocks in volatile markets. One is to look at companies where insiders are buying when shares are out of favor—case in point are the three insider-buying stocks Miller identified. Investors can also watch for companies announcing stock buyback programs. Miller highlighted three firms that have announced substantial buybacks, which is generally a bullish signal. After a strong earnings report this week, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) is starting 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 show why it's among the most promising names in quantum computing. However, Nathan Reiff cautioned that D-Wave remains far from profitability, which is tempering investor enthusiasm. Biotechnology stocks are expected to have a strong year, particularly companies working on oncology treatments. This week, Reiff highlighted two small-cap biotech stocks that have recently launched cancer drugs and discussed the growth challenges they still face. Although gold has lost some luster, it still looks like a promising year for the metal. Reiff outlined three ways for investors to own gold without taking physical custody of the metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have been falling since the Iran conflict began, but Dan Schmidt reminded investors that broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient buyers. Schmidt highlighted three European stocks that investors may want to buy at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be ending. If so, speculators might re-enter the crypto trade. With that in mind, Schmidt offered three crypto stocks that let investors gain exposure without owning specific coins. It's been a strong two-week rally 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 that the bigger story is the company's pending acquisition, which creates "a classic merger-arbitrage scenario for investors." On the M&A front, Johnson also highlighted the potential merger between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). By merging with its largest rival, Cintas would be creating an industry juggernaut. Retail earnings this season show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. That trend is helping Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) prove their value to bargain-seeking consumers. Articles by Jordan Chussler In volatile times, simplicity can pay. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense-sector ETF could keep rallying as the Iran conflict escalates and is loaded with 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 moved from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders appear to be the beneficiaries. The EV trade often centers on a few key names. This week, NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) re-entered the conversation after reporting a surprise profit that could help it gain market share in China. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods An unusually warm winter might imply trouble for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but as Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, the situation isn't that simple. MTN's price action is subdued as investor sentiment remains mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but "choiceful" behavior is likely to persist through 2026. This week, Woods recommended three ETFs that hold companies well positioned to capture a share of consumers' wallets. Articles by Peter Frank Like much of the broader market, regional bank stocks require careful selection. Peter Frank explained why several acquisitions are helping Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) expand beyond its Midwest roots, which could signal a larger growth story that goes beyond a compounding dividend.
