Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media 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 crude prices rise, stocks often fall, and vice versa. The larger issue, though, is uncertainty—specifically, how long the conflict will last and what "normal" will look like for energy prices afterward. The economic indicators look generally favorable. The CPI print came in as expected, continuing to show that inflation is moderating toward the Federal Reserve's preferred target. Earnings season has also supported the picture of an economy that remains resilient. All of this builds toward the Fed meeting and decision next Wednesday. Interest rates are likely to remain unchanged. No matter the outcome, MarketBeat analysts will highlight opportunities that volatility creates. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. When Elon's SpaceX IPO officially hits — which could be just days from now — two things will happen. Elon's 40% stake will immediately earn him around $625 billion in new wealth. Then millions of small investors will buy SpaceX's stock, hoping to strike it rich. Unfortunately, many of them will be disappointed. That's why I'm urging you to take advantage of this pre-IPO SpaceX play while you still can. 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 before hydrogen becomes 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 that many investors believe 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 it wasn't enough to lift the stock, which investors now seem to be viewing 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 technology names most negatively impacted by the AI fear trade. Read Quirke's article 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, which is why 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 stock sell-off is a reminder that valuation doesn't matter—until it does. That has pushed investors back into blue-chip names. This week, Chris Markoch shared three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for the sector rotation trade. Gold continues to draw attention in the metals and mining space. Markoch also pointed to an emerging copper shortage and explained why three copper stocks are well positioned to pick up the slack from aging mines. Markoch wrote about Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), the maker of AI-powered weapons-detection systems. The company reported a surprise profit this quarter on strong demand—news 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 names among the Magnificent Seven over the last 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the recent pullback in GOOGL and explained why the fundamentals suggest it's a healthy correction 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), and Hasson helped investors answer the logical follow-up: is it time to invest in NBIS? Some investors are seeking the relative safety of dividend stocks during this volatile period. Looking for 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 markets. One is to focus on companies where insiders are buying shares when the stock is out of favor—examples include the three insider-buying stocks Miller highlighted. Investors can also look at companies that announce stock buyback programs. Miller pointed to three names that have announced substantial buybacks, a generally bullish signal. After a strong earnings report this week, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) is 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 most promising names in quantum computing, but Nathan Reiff reminded readers that D-Wave is still far from profitability—a factor muting investor enthusiasm. Biotech is poised for a strong year, particularly companies working on oncology treatments. This week, Reiff highlighted two small-cap biotech stocks that have recently launched cancer drugs and discussed the growth challenges they still face. Although gold has lost some of its shine, it still looks attractive this year. Reiff outlined three ways to own gold without taking custody of the physical metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have been dropping since the conflict with Iran began. Dan Schmidt reminded investors that broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient buyers, and he highlighted three European stocks that may be worth buying at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be easing. If so, speculators might revisit the trade. Schmidt offered three crypto-related stocks that allow exposure without owning specific coins. It's been a strong two weeks to buy oil-related names, but which stocks should investors avoid? Schmidt answered that by listing three ETFs to consider selling 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 a bigger story: 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). A tie-up with its largest rival would, Johnson argues, create 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 appeal to treasure-hunt shoppers. Articles by Jordan Chussler In volatile times, simplicity can pay off. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense-sector ETF could keep rallying during the Iran conflict and is filled 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 went from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders are the beneficiaries. The EV trade remains concentrated 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 a weaker outlook for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), right? As Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, it may not be that simple. Price action in MTN stock is subdued as investor sentiment remains mixed. Consumers continue to spend, but "choiceful" behavior is likely to remain a theme through 2026. This week, Woods highlighted three ETFs that include companies still capturing a 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 helping Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) expand beyond its Midwest roots, which could signal a growth story that extends beyond a compounding dividend. |
