Exclusive News MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Written by MarketBeat Staff. 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. The larger issue, however, is uncertainty — specifically, how long the conflict will last and what "normal" will look like for energy prices afterward. Economic indicators look generally favorable. The CPI came in as expected and continues 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, but regardless of the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will point out the opportunities that volatility brings. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. Imagine a bull market so powerful, every single investor became a millionaire. Not by finding the next NVIDIA or Bitcoin, but by owning a simple index fund. It sounds impossible. Yet it happened – just a short time ago. Now a legendary figure says: "Brace yourselves. It's about to happen here, in America. But fair warning – it could be the worst thing that ever happens to you." This story has received little coverage in the press. But if history repeats, it could bump tens of millions of Americans into a 7-figure net worth practically overnight. Click here for the full story. 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, 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 investors a buy-now, get-paid-later scenario, and many still believe a special dividend is possible. Articles by Sam Quirke Sam Quirke observed that Tesla shareholders may want to be careful what they wish for. The company reported higher electric-vehicle sales in China, but that wasn't enough to lift the stock, which investors now appear to view as more of 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 sector's hardest hit names amid the AI fear trade. Read Quirke's piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are often treated as long-term 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 stocks, and this week Chris Markoch recommended three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for the sector-rotation trade. Gold continues to attract attention, but Markoch highlighted an emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks could help fill the gap left by aging mines. Markoch also wrote about Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV). The maker of AI-powered weapons-detection systems reported a surprise profit this quarter on strong demand, a result that 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 Mag 7 over the past year. Ryan Hasson analyzed the latest pullback in GOOGL and explained why the fundamentals suggest it's 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 addressed the obvious question: is it time to invest in NBIS? Some investors are seeking relative safety in dividend stocks during this volatile period. Looking for yield can sometimes be a trap, but Hasson highlighted five high-yield stocks with histories of outperforming in times of market stress. Articles by Leo Miller Leo Miller offered two ideas for picking stocks in volatile markets. One is to watch companies where insiders are buying shares when the stock is out of favor; Miller identified three insider-buying stocks worth noting. Investors can also look for companies that announce substantial buyback programs. Miller highlighted three stocks that have announced large buybacks, which is generally 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 promise in the quantum computing sector, but Nathan Reiff reminded investors that D-Wave remains far from profitability, which is tempering investor enthusiasm. Biotech stocks are expected to have a strong year, particularly firms working on oncology treatments. 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 good year to own the metal. Reiff outlined three ways for investors to play gold without taking custody of physical metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have slipped since the conflict with Iran 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, this could be a time for speculators to re-enter the crypto trade. Schmidt offered three crypto-related stocks that don't require investors to hold specific coins. It's been a strong couple of weeks to buy oil-related stocks, but Schmidt also listed three ETFs investors should consider selling as oil trades at 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 a bigger story: the company is being acquired, creating "a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors." On the subject of M&A, 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 building 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, simplicity can pay off. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense-sector ETF is likely to keep rallying during the Iran conflict and is packed with companies positioned to benefit from increased Pentagon spending. One of the biggest stories of the 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 remains concentrated 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 grab more market share in China. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods An unusually warm winter might suggest trouble for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but 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 persist through 2026. This week, Woods suggested three ETFs holding companies that capture a larger share of consumers' wallets. Articles by Peter Frank Investors will need to be selective when it comes to regional banks. Peter Frank explained how recent acquisitions are helping Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) expand beyond its Midwest roots, which could signal a broader growth story that goes beyond a compounding dividend. |
