Exclusive Story MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/09 - 03/13Submitted by MarketBeat Staff. Date Posted: 3/14/2026. Despite continued volatility, stocks have remained resilient as investors navigate the fog of war. The story is largely about oil: when crude prices rise, stocks tend to fall, and vice versa. But the bigger worry is uncertainty—specifically, how long the conflict will last and what energy prices will look like afterward. Economic indicators look generally favorable. The CPI matched expectations, continuing to show inflation moderating toward the Federal Reserve's preferred target. Earnings season has also supported the view of an economy that remains resilient. All of this builds toward the Fed 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. The Wall Street Journal is asking whether a stock market crash is coming. Research from Weiss Ratings suggests the first half of 2026 could be very tough for certain stocks as a radical shift hits the market. Some of America's most popular names could take serious damage. Analysts have identified five stocks you should consider avoiding before this event plays out. If these are in your portfolio, you'll want to review your positions carefully. See the five stocks to avoid and learn what's driving this shift. 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: Have $500? Invest in Elon's AI Masterplan
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 an initial public offering 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 for bringing 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 expect it could include a special dividend. Articles by Sam Quirke This week, Sam Quirke noted that 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 view 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, making it one of the technology stocks most negatively affected by the AI fear trade. Read Quirke's article to see why the worst may be over. Major oil names are often treated as investments rather than trades. But these aren't normal times, which is why 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 often doesn't matter—until it does. That has sent investors back into blue-chip stocks. This week, Chris Markoch offered three blue-chip stocks with defensive qualities for the sector rotation trade. Gold remains in focus across metals and mining, but Markoch also highlighted an emerging copper shortage and why three copper stocks could fill the gap left by 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 development that could alter the long-term outlook for this speculative stock. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the better performers among the Mag 7 over the past 12 months. Ryan Hasson analyzed the latest pullback in GOOGL stock and explained why the fundamentals suggest this is a healthy pullback within a long-term uptrend. The circular AI trade continued as NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced a $2 billion investment in Nebius Group NV (NASDAQ: NBIS). Hasson addressed the next logical question: is it time to invest in NBIS? Some investors are seeking the relative safety of dividend stocks during this volatile period. Searching for yield can be a trap, but Hasson highlighted five high-yield stocks with histories of holding up during market stress. Articles by Leo Miller Leo Miller offered two ideas for picking stocks in volatile markets. One is to follow insider buying when stocks are out of favor—three insider-buying stocks Miller identified fit that profile. Investors can also watch for companies announcing stock buyback programs. Miller highlighted three stocks that have announced substantial buybacks, which is generally a bullish sign. After a strong earnings report, 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 demonstrate why it's one of the more promising names in quantum computing. Nathan Reiff reminded investors, however, that D-Wave remains far from profitability, a reality that has muted investor enthusiasm. Biotechnology looks poised for a strong year, especially companies working on oncology treatments. This week, Reiff highlighted two small-cap biotech stocks that have recently launched cancer drugs and the growth challenges they still face. Although gold has lost some luster, it still appears to be a compelling asset this year. Reiff outlined three ways for investors to own gold without taking physical custody of the metal. Articles by Dan Schmidt European stocks have fallen since the conflict with Iran began, but broad selloffs often create opportunities for patient investors. Dan Schmidt highlighted three European stocks that investors may want to buy at a discount. There are signs the crypto winter may be ending, which could attract speculators back into the space. Schmidt recommended three crypto-related stocks that let investors play the recovery without owning specific coins. It's been a strong two weeks for oil-related stocks, but Schmidt also outlined which names investors may want to avoid, listing 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 the bigger story is the company's pending acquisition. ZIM is being acquired, creating what Johnson called "a classic merger-arbitrage scenario for investors." Johnson also highlighted a potential merger between Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: CTAS) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF). A deal would combine two rivals and could create an industry juggernaut. Earnings from retail stocks this season show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. That has helped Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) and TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) continue to prove their appeal to value-seeking consumers, as Johnson explained in the treasure-hunt trade. Articles by Jordan Chussler In volatile times, it can pay to keep things simple. Jordan Chussler explained why the largest defense-sector ETF may continue rallying amid the Iran conflict and why it holds 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 moved from competitors to partners, and HIMS shareholders are among the beneficiaries. The EV trade remains focused on a few names. This week, NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) re-entered the conversation after reporting a surprise profit that could help it gain more market share in China. Read why that matters. 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 situation is more nuanced. Investor sentiment remains mixed, keeping MTN price action subdued. Consumers continue to spend, but "choiceful" behavior is likely to shape 2026. Woods highlighted three ETFs that hold companies well positioned to capture consumer wallet share as budgets tighten. Articles by Peter Frank Like much of the broader market, regional bank stocks require careful selection. Peter Frank explained how a series of acquisitions is allowing Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) to expand beyond its Midwest roots, potentially signaling a growth story that goes beyond a compounding dividend.
