MarketBeat Week in Review – 12/22 - 12/26
Written by MarketBeat Staff. Published: 12/27/2025.
A better-than-expected reading for fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) is adding fuel to hopes for a Santa Claus rally. But with thin trading volume, investors won't really know if that rally will take shape until next week.
Either way, investors continue to climb a "wall of worry" that includes tariffs, inflation, jobs and the potential bubble in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. Much of this reflects the relative strength of the consumer, which will remain important to watch in 2026.
Next week will be another shortened trading week: markets will be closed on Jan. 1. Many investors will step away briefly, but MarketBeat analysts will keep monitoring the stocks and stories moving the market. Here are some of our most popular pieces from this week.
Buffett, Gates and Bezos Quietly Dumping Stocks—Here's Why (Ad)
Imagine a bull market so powerful, every single investor became a millionaire. Not by finding the next NVIDIA or Bitcoin, but by owning a simple index fund.
It sounds impossible. Yet it happened – just a short time ago. Now a legendary figure says: "Brace yourselves. It's about to happen here, in America. But fair warning – it could be the worst thing that ever happens to you."
This story has received little coverage in the press. But if history repeats, it could bump tens of millions of Americans into a 7-figure net worth practically overnight.
Quick Look
- A better-than-expected GDP reading has increased hope for a Santa Claus rally.
- Investors have pushed the market higher in 2025, but many of the same areas of concern will continue to be a story in 2026.
- Next week will be a shortened trading week with the markets closed for the New Year’s Day holiday.
Articles by Thomas Hughes
Earnings season often brings share buyback announcements. This week, Thomas Hughes highlighted five companies with some of the most aggressive share buyback programs and explained why those repurchases may drive stock-price gains in 2026.
How do you know when a dividend stock is a keeper? Hughes highlighted three companies that are raising their dividends amid continued bullish analyst sentiment, suggesting capital appreciation alongside dividend growth.
Darden Restaurants Inc. (NYSE: DRI) reported strong earnings, but DRI stock has pulled back since the report. Hughes explained why investors should view the pullback as a buying signal, citing positive technicals and bullish sentiment from analysts and institutions.
Articles by Sam Quirke
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) has been volatile in 2025, but Sam Quirke outlined why a recent failed pullback is likely to catalyze a move above $500 for the TSLA share price.
Quirke also examined recent price action in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), noting that during periods of consolidation investors should watch what analysts are signaling, which in this case points to bullish upside for AMZN.
Articles by Chris Markoch
The S&P 500 has continued to make new highs, but the Russell 2000 has been outpacing the market and could signal a surge in small-cap stocks. This week, Chris Markoch made a case for five small-cap stocks that could benefit as investors rotate out of big tech.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) has rallied after a recent sell-off. Markoch gave three reasons Palantir could remain an essential stock in the AI infrastructure trade.
It's been a tough year for beer stocks, but a recent Goldman Sachs report suggests 2026 may bring a comeback for beer. Markoch analyzed two brewers that could give investors a buzz in 2026.
Articles by Ryan Hasson
Ryan Hasson looked at small-cap stocks by pointing investors to MarketBeat's list of the highest-rated small-cap stocks. He highlighted the top five names and explained the case for future growth.
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) was one of the best-performing technology stocks of 2025. Hasson argued that the recent pullback looks more like a healthy pause than the start of a correction, supporting a buy-the-dip case based on technicals and institutional conviction.
Articles by Leo Miller
Markets are expected to remain volatile in 2026, so buying stocks of dividend growers can be a smart defensive strategy. This week, Leo Miller highlighted three companies that have aggressively raised their dividends and explained why each offers the potential for capital growth that boosts total return.
On Dec. 22, three companies began trading as part of the S&P 500 Index. That stamp of approval typically produces a short-term pop, but Miller explained why each company may offer a path to solid growth in 2026.
Space stocks were strong performers in 2025, but three names have shown notable insider selling in the last 30 days. Miller reminded readers that not all insider selling is equal and that only one company may be sending a concerning signal.
Articles by Nathan Reiff
Quantum computing stocks have delivered a "hurry up and wait" vibe in 2025. That can frustrate traders, but it may give risk-tolerant investors opportunities to accumulate on pullbacks. Nathan Reiff outlined reasons to believe D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) could be setting up for a strong 2026.
Precious metals were one of the strongest trades in 2025, and that momentum is flowing into mining stocks. Reiff highlighted three large miners with attractive setups for 2026.
The oil sector has lagged the broader commodities rally, but Reiff noted the weakness may create opportunities for contrarian, risk-tolerant investors. Read his article to see why three energy stocks may be worth holding until oil reverses.
Articles by Dan Schmidt
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are ending the year on a bearish note, which might tempt some investors to buy the dip in crypto-related stocks. Dan Schmidt explained why that could be a mistake for two notable crypto-linked stocks that carry risks due to their cryptocurrency exposure.
As the year closes, many investors set goals for the next year. For those resolving to take more profits in 2026, Schmidt highlighted three stocks that look ripe for profit-taking as 2025 ends.
Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson
The "AI bubble" doom loop has been challenged throughout earnings season. Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) was the latest to report results showing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) demand extending well into the future. Johnson wrote that Micron's results point to a more balanced revenue mix and pricing power that should boost earnings.
Johnson also highlighted a value disconnect at Vertical Aerospace (NYSE: EVTL). The company doesn't get as many headlines as competitors in the emerging eVTOL sector, but Johnson noted it achieved a significant milestone that could position it for a stronger 2026.
With sector rotation a frequent topic, Johnson identified smart moves investors should consider in 2026, spotlighting two ETFs that provide exposure to sectors likely to participate in a catch-up trade next year.
Articles by Jordan Chussler
Often, investors are better off ignoring headline noise. Jordan Chussler explained why that appears to be the case for Maplebear Inc. (NASDAQ: CART), better known as Instacart. The company is facing investigations into its pricing practices and transparency, but investors have largely shrugged off the news and focused on the company's strong financials.
Oil stocks are down, but energy names tied to rising electricity prices had a strong year. This week, Chussler highlighted one exchange-traded fund (ETF) that allows investors to capitalize on the historic, multi-year trend of higher electricity prices.
