Exclusive Story MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Reported 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 often fall, and vice versa. The bigger concern, though, is uncertainty — specifically, how long the conflict will continue and what "normal" will look like for energy prices once it's over. Economic indicators look generally favorable. The CPI came in as expected, continuing to show inflation pressures moderating toward the Federal Reserve's preferred target. Earnings season has also underscored 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 highlight the opportunities that volatility creates. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. A humanoid robot called Figure 03 escorted First Lady Melania Trump at a White House tech summit attended by CEOs and representatives from 45 countries. Alpha School, a private institution replacing teachers with AI, is now expanding to 35 cities with Department of Education support - and its students are scoring in the top 0.1% nationally. Jamie Dimon, Larry Fink, and Senator Mark Warner are all warning about mass job displacement. One historian is predicting a permanent underclass as automation accelerates. History shows these shifts also create rare wealth-building opportunities for investors who act early. See the investment blueprint for navigating the AI displacement now 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.

Articles by Thomas Hughes SpaceX is one of the most discussed companies — and it isn't 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) possible. 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 the stock offers investors a "buy-now, get-paid-later" scenario, and many still believe a special dividend may be possible. Articles by Sam Quirke This week, Sam Quirke suggested 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 stocks are often thought of as investments rather than trades — but these aren't normal times. Quirke analyzed the surge in Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) and explained why the rally 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, which has sent investors back into blue-chip names. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities well suited for a sector-rotation trade. While gold continues to attract attention, Markoch pointed out an emerging copper shortage and three copper stocks positioned to help fill the gap left by aging mines. Markoch also wrote about Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV). The manufacturer of AI-powered weapons-detection systems 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 and argued 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 examined whether now is the time to invest in NBIS. Some investors seek the relative safety of dividend stocks during volatile periods. Yield can sometimes be a trap, but Hasson highlighted five high-yield stocks with 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 times. One is to look at companies where insiders are buying shares when the stock is out of favor — exemplified by the three insider-buying stocks he identified. Investors can also focus on companies announcing stock buyback programs. Miller highlighted three names that have announced substantial buybacks, which is generally a bullish signal. After a strong earnings report, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) appears to be closing 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 the company is still far from profitability — a factor subduing investor enthusiasm. Biotechnology is expected to be strong this year, especially companies 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 some luster, it still looks like a good year for the metal. Reiff outlined three ways for investors to own gold without taking custody of physical metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have declined since the conflict with Iran began, but broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient investors. Schmidt highlighted three European stocks investors may want 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 return to the trade. Schmidt offered three crypto-related stocks that let investors gain exposure without owning specific coins. It's been a strong couple of weeks for oil-related stocks, but which names should investors avoid? Schmidt answered that with a list of three ETFs 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 the bigger story is that the company is being acquired, creating "a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors." On the mergers-and-acquisitions front, Johnson also highlighted the potential tie-up between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). A merger with its largest rival would, Johnson argues, create an industry juggernaut. Earnings from retail stocks show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. That has put Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) back in the spotlight as winners among value-seeking, 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 as the Iran conflict escalates and why it's loaded with companies poised 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 companies moved from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders are benefiting. 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 allow it to gain market share in China. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods An unusually warm winter might seem like bad news for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but as Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, the situation is more nuanced. MTN's price action remains subdued as investor sentiment stays mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but being "choiceful" is likely to remain part of the conversation throughout 2026. This week, Woods highlighted three ETFs that hold companies continuing to capture a share of consumers' wallets. Articles by Peter Frank As with the broader market, investors will need to be selective with regional bank stocks. Peter Frank explained why several acquisitions are helping Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) expand beyond its Midwest roots — a move that could signal a larger growth story that goes beyond a compounding dividend. |
