Further Reading from MarketBeat Media MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Submitted by MarketBeat Staff. Published: 3/14/2026. Despite continued volatility, stocks have stayed resilient as investors navigate the fog of war. Much of the story is about oil: when the price of crude rises, stocks often 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 once it's over. 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 picture 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, but whatever the decision, MarketBeat analysts will highlight the opportunities volatility creates. Here are some of our most popular articles from this 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. 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: This Could Turn $100 into $100,000
Articles by Thomas Hughes SpaceX is one of the most discussed 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 any initial public offering (IPO). 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 offers investors a buy-now, get-paid-later scenario, and many still believe it could include a special dividend. Articles by Sam Quirke Sam Quirke suggested the message to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) shareholders may 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 past year, making it one of the technology names hit hardest by AI-related fears. Read Quirke's piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are often considered 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 is driving investors back into blue-chip names. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for the sector-rotation trade. Gold continues to attract attention in the metals and mining space. Markoch also pointed out an emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks are 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. The company reported a surprise profit this quarter on strong demand, which could change 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 Magnificent Seven over the last 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the latest pullback in GOOGL and explained why the fundamentals suggest this is 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 asked the next logical question: is it time to invest in NBIS? Some investors are seeking the relative safety of dividend stocks amid volatility. Looking for yield can sometimes 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 look at companies insiders are buying when shares are out of favor — as with the three insider-buying stocks Miller identified. Investors can also focus on companies that announce stock buyback programs. Miller highlighted three names that have announced substantial buyback programs, 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) remains one of the more promising names in quantum computing, but Nathan Reiff reminded investors it is still far from profitability, which has subdued investor enthusiasm. Biotech is expected to have a strong year, especially firms 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 good year to own the yellow metal. Reiff outlined three ways for investors to own gold without taking custody of physical metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have fallen since the recent conflict with Iran began. Dan Schmidt reminded readers that broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient investors and highlighted three European stocks that may be worth buying at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be ending. If so, this could be a time for speculators to reenter the crypto trade. Schmidt offered three crypto stocks that let investors play the rebound without owning specific coins. It's been a strong two weeks to buy oil-related stocks, but which names should investors avoid? Schmidt answered 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, but Jeffrey Neal Johnson noted that the bigger story is the company's pending acquisition. The deal creates "a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors," he wrote. On the M&A front, Johnson also highlighted the potential merger between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). A combination with its largest rival would see Cintas creating an industry juggernaut. Earnings from retail stocks this season show the more things change, the more they stay the same. That trend has Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) once again proving their appeal to value-minded, "treasure-hunt" shoppers. Articles by Jordan Chussler In volatile times, simplicity can pay off. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense-sector ETF is likely to keep rallying during the conflict with Iran and is packed with companies positioned to benefit from higher Pentagon spending. One of the top stories this week was the deal between Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) and Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO). The companies went from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders appear to be the beneficiaries. The EV trade remains focused on a handful of names. This week, NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) re-entered the conversation after it reported a surprise profit that could help it take more market share in China. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods An unusually warm winter might seem like a negative for a company such as Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but as Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, the situation is more complex. MTN's price action is subdued as investor sentiment remains mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but being "choiceful" is likely to remain part of the conversation throughout 2026. Woods suggested three ETFs that hold companies poised to capture consumers' wallets as budgets tighten. 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 — a move that could signal a growth story beyond a compounding dividend. |
