Special Report MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Reported by MarketBeat Staff. Published: 3/14/2026. Despite continued volatility, stocks have remained resilient as investors navigate the fog of war. The story is largely about oil: generally, when crude rises, stocks fall, and vice versa. But the larger issue 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 reading met expectations, continuing to show inflation moderating toward the Federal Reserve's target. Earnings season has also reinforced the view of an economy that remains resilient. All of this leads into the Federal Reserve meeting and decision next Wednesday. Interest rates are widely expected 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 this week. Our investment research analysts are going to be releasing their next investment idea tomorrow morning, around 10:00 AM Eastern time. Add yourself to the distribution list here. 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 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 any initial public offering. 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 for 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 see the possibility of a special dividend. Articles by Sam Quirke Sam Quirke observed that Tesla shareholders may need to 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 increasingly view as more of an AI/robotics play. Quirke also checked in on Atlassian Corp. (NASDAQ: TEAM). The stock is down roughly 80% over the past year, making it one of the hardest-hit technology names in the AI-driven selloff. Read Quirke's piece to see why the worst may be over. Big oil stocks are often treated as long-term 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 can matter when sentiment shifts, prompting investors to return to blue-chip names. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for a sector-rotation trade. Gold continues to draw attention, but Markoch pointed out an emerging copper shortage and explained why three copper stocks are positioned to pick up the slack from aging mines. Markoch also wrote about Evolv Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV). The maker of AI-powered weapons-detection systems posted a surprise profit this quarter, driven by strong demand that could change the long-term outlook for this speculative name. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the top performers among the Mag 7 over the past 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the recent pullback and explained why the fundamentals suggest it may be a healthy dip inside 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 helped investors answer the next logical question: is it time to add NBIS to your portfolio? Some investors seek relative safety in dividend stocks during volatile periods. Looking for yield can be a trap, but Hasson highlighted five high-yield stocks that have historically outperformed 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 watch companies where insiders are buying when shares are out of favor — Miller found three insider-buying stocks worth watching. Investors can also look for companies announcing buyback programs. Miller highlighted three names that have announced substantial buybacks, a generally bullish signal. 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 investors that D-Wave remains far from profitability — a factor that has tempered investor enthusiasm. Biotech looks poised for a strong year, particularly companies focused on oncology. This week, Reiff highlighted two small-cap biotech stocks that recently launched cancer drugs and discussed the growth challenges they face. Although gold has cooled somewhat, it still looks attractive this year. Reiff outlined three ways to own gold without taking physical custody of the metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have declined since the conflict with Iran escalated, but Dan Schmidt reminded readers that broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient investors. Schmidt highlighted three European stocks investors may want to buy at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be ending, which could invite speculators back into the trade. Schmidt offered three crypto-related stocks that provide exposure without requiring ownership of specific coins. It's been a strong fortnight for oil-related names, but Schmidt also pointed out what to avoid. He listed three ETFs investors should 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 the bigger story: the company is being acquired, creating "a classic merger arbitrage scenario for investors." Johnson also highlighted the potential merger between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). A tie-up with its largest rival would create an industry juggernaut. The retail earnings season has reinforced familiar themes: some things don't change. That has left Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) once again proving their appeal to bargain-hunting consumers. Articles by Jordan Chussler In volatile times, simplicity can pay. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense-sector ETF is likely to keep rallying during the Iran conflict, as it's loaded with companies positioned 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). After moving from rivals to partners, HIMS shareholders were rewarded. The EV trade remains concentrated among 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 trouble for a company like Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), but as Jennifer Ryan Woods explained, the story is more nuanced. 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 in 2026. This week, Woods suggested three ETFs holding companies that can capture consumer wallet share. Articles by Peter Frank Investors must pick carefully when considering regional banks. Peter Frank explained how several acquisitions are helping Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) expand beyond its Midwest roots — a move that could signal a broader growth story beyond steady dividend compounding. |
