Special Report MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Authored by 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 the price of crude rises, stocks tend to fall, and vice versa. But the larger issue is uncertainty—specifically, how long the conflict will continue and what "normal" will look like for energy prices when it ends. The economic indicators look generally favorable. The CPI number 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 Fed meeting and decision next Wednesday. Interest rates are likely to remain unchanged. Whatever the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will point out the opportunities that volatility creates. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. Analyst Jim Rickards believes gold could climb to $10,000 per ounce or higher in the coming years - and he says investors still have time to position ahead of the move. His top recommendation is a $2 stock he describes as sitting on the largest gold deposit in the world, with an extraction green light potentially arriving April 15. See Jim Rickards' number one gold recommendation for 2026 Key Points - 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.
- Special Report: Elon Musk's $1 Quadrillion AI IPO
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 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 to bring hydrogen mainstream. Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) delivered a solid earnings report this week. Hughes pointed out that the stock offers investors a buy-now, get-paid-later scenario, and many still expect a potential 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 electric-vehicle 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 names in the AI fear trade. Read Quirke’s article to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are often treated as investments rather than trades. But these aren’t normal times, so 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 picks with defensive qualities for the sector-rotation trade. Gold continues to get attention in the metals and mining space. Markoch also pointed to the emerging copper shortage and explained why three copper stocks could pick up the slack from aging mines. Markoch wrote about Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV) as well. The manufacturer of AI-powered weapons-detection systems reported a surprise profit this quarter on strong demand that could alter the long-term outlook for this speculative name. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the best-performing stocks among the Mag 7 in the last 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the latest pullback in GOOGL and explained why the fundamentals suggest it 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), and Hasson addressed the next logical question: is it time to invest in NBIS? Some investors are seeking the relative safety of dividend stocks during this volatile period. 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 markets. One is to look at companies where insiders are buying shares when stocks are out of favor — Miller highlighted three insider-buying stocks. Investors can also watch for companies that announce meaningful buyback programs. Miller pointed to three names that have announced substantial buybacks, which is often a bullish signal. After a strong earnings report this week, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) is narrowing 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 one of the more promising names in quantum computing. Nathan Reiff reminded readers that D-Wave remains far from profitability, which has been subduing investor enthusiasm. Biotechnology is poised for a strong year, especially companies working on oncology treatments. This week, Reiff highlighted two small-cap biotech stocks that recently launched cancer drugs and explored the growth challenges they still face. Although gold has faded a bit, it still looks like a promising year for the yellow metal. Reiff outlined three ways to own gold without taking custody of physical 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 to consider buying at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be ending. If so, this could be a time for speculators to re-enter the space. Schmidt suggested three crypto-related stocks that let investors participate without owning specific coins. It’s been a strong two weeks for oil-related stocks, but some names deserve caution. Schmidt listed 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 acquisition: the company is being acquired, creating “a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors.” On mergers and acquisitions, Johnson highlighted the potential tie-up between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). A merger with its largest rival would, Johnson argues, be creating an industry juggernaut. Earnings from retail stocks this season show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. As a result, Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) continue to prove their value to treasure-hunt consumers. Articles by Jordan Chussler In volatile times, it can pay to keep things simple. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense-sector ETF is likely to keep rallying amid the conflict with Iran and is loaded with companies positioned 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 went from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders appear to be the beneficiaries. The EV trade remains concentrated in a few names. This week, NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) re-entered the conversation after the company reported a surprise profit that could help it take more market share in China. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods An unusually warm winter might suggest a falling stock price for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), right? As Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, it may not be that simple. MTN’s price action is subdued as investor sentiment remains mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but “choiceful” behavior is likely to stay part of the conversation through 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 investing requires selectivity. Peter Frank explained how several acquisitions are helping Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) expand beyond its Midwest roots, a move that could signal a broader growth story beyond a compounding dividend. |
