Just For You MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Author: MarketBeat Staff. Article Posted: 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. 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, continuing to show that inflation is 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, but whatever the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will highlight opportunities that volatility creates. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. Decades ago, Washington sold the American public on ditching cash for credit cards to protect us from theft and stop criminals, but instead of stopping crime, it gave the government an unprecedented window into our daily lives—every flight, restaurant, and gallon of gas leaving a permanent data trail. Through a new initiative outlined in Federal Reserve Docket No. OP-1670, known as FedNow, the government is rolling out the ultimate financial tracking web that routes all those fragmented private transactions through a single centralized hub operated by the Federal Reserve itself, giving the federal government real-time 24/7 visibility into virtually every dollar moving through the U.S. economy with the power to flag or freeze your money with a single keystroke. Get the 4 steps to Fed-proof your savings now Article Highlights - 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). The balance sheet is improving, but the company continues to burn cash, underscoring the challenges that remain to bring hydrogen mainstream. Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) delivered a solid earnings report this week. Hughes pointed out that 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 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 seem to be viewing 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, one of the more negatively impacted technology stocks in the AI-driven selloff. Read Quirke's piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are often treated as 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 often doesn't matter — until it does. That has pushed 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 metals and mining. Markoch also pointed out the emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks are positioned to pick up slack from aging mines. Markoch wrote about Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), the manufacturer of AI-powered weapons-detection systems, which 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 stocks among the Mag 7 over the past 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the latest pullback in GOOGL and explained why the fundamentals suggest this is a healthy dip 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 tackled the logical next question: is it time to invest in NBIS? Some investors seek the relative safety of dividend stocks during volatility. Yield hunting can be a trap, but Hasson highlighted five high-yield stocks with histories of outperforming in times of market stress. Articles by Leo Miller This week, Leo Miller offered two ideas for picking stocks in volatile markets. One is to look at companies where insiders are buying when shares are out of favor — illustrated by the three insider-buying stocks he identified. Another approach is to focus on firms announcing stock buyback programs. Miller highlighted three companies that have announced substantial 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 why it's one of the most promising names in quantum computing. However, Nathan Reiff reminded investors that D-Wave remains far from profitability, which tempers investor enthusiasm. Biotechnology is expected to have a strong year, particularly companies working on oncology treatments. This week, 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 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 been falling since the conflict with Iran began. Dan Schmidt reminded investors that broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient investors, and he highlighted three European stocks worth buying at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be ending. If true, speculators could consider re-entering the crypto trade. With that in mind, Schmidt suggested three crypto-related stocks that don't require owning specific coins. It's been a strong two weeks to buy oil-related stocks. But which ones should investors avoid? Schmidt answered with a list of three ETFs to sell as oil trades at multi-year highs. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM) reported a surprise profit this quarter. But Jeffrey Neal Johnson noted the bigger story: the company is being acquired, creating "a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors." On mergers and acquisitions, Johnson also highlighted the potential tie-up between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). By acquiring 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 has left Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) 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 may keep rallying during the Iran conflict and is filled 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 went from rivals to partners, and HIMS shareholders appear to be the beneficiaries. The EV trade remains focused on a few names. This week, NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) re-entered the conversation after it reported a surprise profit that could help it gain 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 being "choiceful" is likely to remain part of the conversation through 2026. This week, Woods suggested three ETFs that hold companies still capturing a share of consumers' wallets. Articles by Peter Frank As with much of the broader market, investors must choose carefully with regional bank stocks. Peter Frank explained how several acquisitions are allowing Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) to expand beyond its Midwest roots, which could signal a growth story that goes beyond relying solely on a compounding dividend.
