Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/26 - 01/30Reported by MarketBeat Staff. Publication Date: 1/31/2026. Stocks had another volatile week, ending with the announcement of the next Federal Reserve chair and a hotter-than-expected December inflation reading. That pushed gold and silver lower and may have triggered losses in other asset classes. Big tech earnings started to roll in this week. Results haven't been poor, but many analysts expected more—especially on how heavy AI investments will be monetized. Nevertheless, the overall outlook for stocks remains favorable: each major index finished January up more than 1%. Earnings season is moving into high gear, with several significant reports due next week. MarketBeat analysts will be watching the stocks and stories that move the market. Here are some of our most popular stories from the week. The former CEO of Google calls it the most important thing to happen in 500, maybe 1,000 years of human society. A former U.S. Treasury Secretary says when your great-grandchildren write the history of this period, the political headlines will be the second or third story. The first story is something none of us have seen before. The dot-com collapse, global financial crisis, and COVID-19 pandemic don't compare to what's coming next. We may be entering a period of dramatic, almost unimaginable change. See the full warning and how to prepare now. What You Need to Know - Stocks had another volatile week, but each of the major averages was up more than 1% in January.
- Big tech earnings have been solid, but in some cases, they have left investors wanting more.
- Earnings season now kicks into high gear, which is likely to confirm a growing economy.
Articles by Thomas Hughes It was a rough week for health insurance stocks, including UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH). The stock fell sharply after the Trump administration proposed smaller-than-expected Medicare reimbursements to private insurers. Hughes explained that analysts and institutions remain supportive, which could make this a buying opportunity. Trade-related news around Greenland roiled rare-earth stocks. However, Hughes highlighted three rare-earth stocks with domestically focused production strategies and government support that insulate them from broader macro concerns. Hughes also shared his five top stock picks for February. The list includes familiar names that performed well in 2025 and show strong momentum heading into 2026. Articles by Sam Quirke Technical analysis isn't perfect, but it can point investors to potential opportunities. This week, Sam Quirke flagged a technical setup in Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM). The stock is showing a signal that suggests it may be oversold heading into earnings. Expectations are low, which could tilt the risk-reward in the bulls' favor. Like many finance stocks, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) has traded lower amid concerns about the Trump administration's proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates. Quirke wrote that a strong earnings report and positive analyst sentiment could make this pullback a buying opportunity. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) reported this week, and—as often happens—its results felt like a make-or-break moment. Quirke noted that Tesla appeared to quiet some critics, which could set the stage for a retest of its all-time high from December 2025. Articles by Chris Markoch Healthcare stocks began rebounding in 2025. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three growth stocks in the healthcare sector that don't carry the make-or-break drug risk typical of biotech. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) continued to drift despite another strong earnings report. Some analysts cite concerns about the company's ongoing AI spending. Markoch pointed out that there's nothing fundamentally wrong with Microsoft—except perhaps its stock price, which may be approaching oversold levels (read more). After delivering a strong report, NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE: NEE) is trading near 52-week highs. Markoch explained why, even with a premium valuation, NEE stock is likely to see more growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Several of the Magnificent 7 stocks reported this week. Ryan Hasson closed his earnings preview by noting, "the initial price reaction of the market matters less than what their results reveal about the next few quarters..." Check his article for the full analysis and what it means for big tech. Energy underpins the AI stack. Hasson pointed out that energy stocks began heating up in the second half of 2025, and that trade looks set to remain hot in 2026. He highlighted five renewable energy stocks that could ride this wave. Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) pulled back sharply from its all-time high after a failed Neutron rocket launch. Hasson explained why analysts are looking past the sell-the-news event, which could turn this into a buying opportunity. Articles by Leo Miller Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) rallied after its fourth-quarter report, which showed the company's fastest growth since 2021. That momentum is helping investors look past the company's higher AI spending. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) also reported this week. Miller noted the company posted a record quarter backed by stronger-than-expected iPhone sales, though the stock drifted lower amid lingering questions about Apple's AI strategy. Earnings season is also stock buyback season. This week, Miller highlighted three companies that expanded their buyback capacity. Each is down at least 20% in recent months, suggesting management may view the shares as undervalued. Articles by Nathan Reiff The chip sector is central to the AI infrastructure trade. One way to play it is through semiconductor equipment makers. This week, Nathan Reiff highlighted three leading chip equipment stocks from 2025 and discussed which may come out on top in 2026. Uranium stocks could surge as nuclear energy regains favor. ETFs offer broad exposure to that trade. Reiff highlighted three uranium ETFs that could outperform in 2026. Recent news around D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) illustrates both the promise and the risks of quantum computing. The company made a major acquisition and had to file $330 million in shelf registrations to replenish cash. That will dilute shareholder value; Reiff warned more dilution may be needed. Still, read his article to see why analysts remain bullish on QBTS stock. Articles by Dan Schmidt The Trump administration reignited tariff threats to Europe in January over the planned purchase of Greenland. While those tariffs are on hold for now, the story is far from over. Dan Schmidt analyzed three European stocks built to withstand any tariff impact. As investors rotate out of some expensive growth names, Schmidt explained why dividend-paying consumer staples stocks may be back in fashion. Read why three names are positioned to stand out in 2026. It's been a rough few years for gaming stocks. Schmidt explained why the industry is becoming bifurcated and shrinking, but he also made the case for why that may be bullish for Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ: TTWO), which may be the best—and perhaps the only—pure-play video game stock on U.S. markets. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Congressional trading may get banned, but until it does, investors keep an eye on the stocks Nancy Pelosi trades. This week, Jeffrey Neal Johnson highlighted some of Pelosi's recent moves and explained how they reflect a sophisticated reloading strategy in many AI names. The eVTOL trade remains a focus in 2026. Johnson covered BlackRock's passive stake in Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR) and why it could signal that a floor may be forming for ACHR stock. Many Americans are still recovering from Winter Storm Fern that slammed much of the country in late January. Johnson reminded investors that natural disasters can create investing opportunities and highlighted three energy stocks tied to the reliability trade. Articles by Jordan Chussler The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ: KHC) has long been a staple for income investors. But after Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) announced it was selling its stake, many investors are asking whether the stock is a sell. Jordan Chussler helped investors weigh that question this week (read more). Affordability is a key economic theme for 2026. To that end, Chussler wrote about buy-now-pay-later provider Affirm Holdings (NASDAQ: AFRM) and its plan to start offering services for rent payments.
