Special Report MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Reported 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 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 when it's over. The economic indicators look generally favorable. The CPI came in as expected and continues to show inflation moderating toward the Federal Reserve's preferred target. Earnings season has also been supportive 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. Regardless of the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will highlight the opportunities that volatility creates. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. The largest, private, dollar-linked financial entity in the crypto world, Tether, has openly stated it plans to allocate up to 15% of its reserves to physical gold—at current reserve levels, that's roughly $30 billion worth of gold bullion, the kind of monetary decision normally made by central banks, not private companies. When a private company operating at the core of the dollar system is trading its dollar assets for gold, the oldest crisis hedge in history, that's a clue showing you where the stress is building and what the release valve will be, and my top four gold stocks are up a combined 992% in just two years. See the four top gold stocks positioned for this demand At a Glance - 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 isn’t 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 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 to 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 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 that wasn’t enough to lift the stock, which investors now view more as an AI/robotics play. Quirke also checked in on Atlassian Corp. (NASDAQ: TEAM). The stock is down about 80% over the past year, making it one of the hardest-hit technology names in the AI fear trade. Read Quirke’s piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are often viewed as investments rather than trades, but these aren’t normal times. Quirke analyzed the surge in Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) and explained why the trade could 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 are piling back into blue-chip names. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for the sector rotation trade. Gold is drawing attention, but Markoch pointed to an emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks are positioned to 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 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 and explained why the fundamentals suggest it 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 considered the next logical question: is it time to invest in NBIS? Some investors seek the relative safety of dividend stocks during volatile stretches. Looking for yield can 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 for companies where insiders are buying shares even when the stock is out of favor—that’s the case with the three insider-buying stocks Miller found. Investors can also watch for companies that announce stock buyback programs. Miller highlighted three names that have announced substantial buybacks, 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) continues to show why it’s one of the promising names in quantum computing. Nathan Reiff reminded investors, however, that D-Wave remains far from profitability, a fact that has been subduing investor enthusiasm. Biotech stocks are expected to have a strong year, especially those working on oncology treatments. This week, Reiff highlighted two small-cap biotech stocks that recently launched cancer drugs and discussed the growth challenges they face. Although gold has lost some of its luster, it still looks like a solid play this year. Reiff outlined three ways for investors to own gold without taking custody of the physical metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have dropped since the conflict with Iran began, but broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient investors. 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, it could be a time for speculators to re-enter the crypto arena. Schmidt suggested three crypto-related stocks that provide exposure without requiring ownership of specific coins. It’s been a strong couple of weeks to buy oil-related stocks, but which names should investors avoid? Schmidt offered 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 that isn’t the biggest story for ZIM stock. The company is being acquired, creating “a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors.” On the M&A front, 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 creating an industry juggernaut. Earnings from retail stocks this season show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. That pattern helps explain why 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, it can pay to keep things simple. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense sector ETF is likely to keep rallying during the conflict with Iran and is filled with companies positioned to benefit from increased Pentagon spending. One of the biggest stories this week was the deal between Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) and Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO). The two companies went from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders were among 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 gain share in China. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods An unusually warm winter might seem like bad news for a company such as Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but as Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, the situation isn’t that simple. MTN’s price action is subdued as investor sentiment remains mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but “choiceful” behavior is likely to remain part of the conversation throughout 2026. This week, Woods highlighted three ETFs holding companies that are capturing a larger share of consumers’ wallets. Articles by Peter Frank Like much of the broader market, regional bank stocks require careful selection. Peter Frank explained why several acquisitions are allowing Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) to expand beyond its Midwest roots, which could signal a growth story that goes beyond a compounding dividend.
