Exclusive News MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Author: MarketBeat Staff. Publication Date: 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. A larger concern is uncertainty—specifically, how long the conflict will continue and what "normal" will look like for energy prices when it's over. Economic indicators look generally favorable. CPI 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, but whatever the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will highlight the opportunities that volatility creates. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. Right now, as the conflict with Iran intensifies, there's one company quietly protecting every branch of the U.S. military.
Army. Navy. Air Force. Marines.
That company is Elon Musk's SpaceX. Click here and I'll show you exactly how. Key Takeaways - 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 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). While the balance sheet is improving, the company continues to burn cash, underscoring the challenges of bringing hydrogen mainstream. Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) delivered a solid earnings report this week. Hughes noted the stock offers a buy-now, get-paid-later scenario, and many still expect a potential special dividend. 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 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 stock is down roughly 80% over the last year, making it one of the hardest-hit technology names amid AI-related fears. Read Quirke's piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are often seen as investments rather than trades. These aren't normal times, though, 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 sell-off is a reminder that valuation doesn't matter until it does, and investors have been rotating back into blue-chip names. This week Chris Markoch highlighted three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for a sector-rotation trade. Gold remains in focus in the metals and mining trade. Markoch also pointed out an emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks could pick up the slack from aging mines. Markoch wrote about Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), the maker of AI-powered weapons-detection systems, which reported a surprise profit this quarter on strong demand — a result that could alter the long-term outlook for this speculative stock. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the best-performing Mag 7 stocks over the past 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the latest pullback in GOOGL and explained why the fundamentals suggest it's a healthy dip within a long-term uptrend. The circular AI trade continues: NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced a $2 billion investment in Nebius Group NV (NASDAQ: NBIS). Hasson explored whether it's time to consider NBIS for investors. Some investors seek the relative safety of dividend stocks in volatile markets. Yield can sometimes be a trap, but Hasson highlighted five high-yield stocks with histories of outperforming during market stress. Articles by Leo Miller Leo Miller offered two ideas for picking stocks in volatile times. One is to look at companies where insiders are buying when shares are out of favor — illustrated in his three insider-buying stocks. Investors can also favor companies announcing substantial buyback programs. Miller highlighted three such companies, a move that is generally bullish and often signals management confidence. After a strong earnings report, 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 quantum computing, but Nathan Reiff reminded readers that D-Wave remains far from profitability, a factor muting investor enthusiasm. Biotech is poised for a strong year, particularly in oncology. 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 to consider the metal. Reiff outlined three ways for investors to own gold without taking custody of the physical metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have slipped since the conflict with Iran began, but broad selloffs often create buying opportunities for patient investors. Schmidt highlighted three European stocks to consider buying at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be ending. If so, now could be a time for speculators to re-enter the space. Schmidt suggested three crypto-related stocks that allow exposure without owning specific coins. It's been a strong two weeks for oil-related stocks, but which names should investors avoid? Schmidt answered 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 the company's acquisition. ZIM is being acquired, creating "a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors." On mergers and acquisitions, Johnson also examined a 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 dynamic is helping Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) continue to win over 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 may keep rallying amid the conflict with Iran and is loaded with companies positioned to benefit from higher Pentagon spending. One of the week's biggest stories was the deal between Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) and Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO). The pair moved from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders benefited. The EV trade remains concentrated in a few 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 suggest a weaker stock price for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but as Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, the reality is more nuanced. MTN's price action has been muted as investor sentiment remains mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but "choiceful" behavior is likely to shape 2026. Woods suggested three ETFs that hold companies well positioned to capture consumers' wallet share. Articles by Peter Frank Investing in regional banks requires selectivity. Peter Frank explained how several acquisitions are helping Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) expand beyond its Midwest base, which could signal a broader growth story beyond a compounding dividend.
