Hi, Tim Plaehn here.
Silver has become one of the best investments for both growth AND income.
I've just found one tiny fund that is now delivering up to 20% in annualized cash distributions….
And could deliver $1,170 every month for you.
However that's not all….
The share price has jumped 68% in just 5 months.
This is one of the rarest combinations I've seen in 20 years of analyzing investments.
Click here to see how this works.
But hurry: the next monthly payout hits soon.
To your income,
Tim Plaehn
Lead Income Strategist
P.S. This isn't physical silver. It's a simple ETF that trades like any stock. Buy once, collect monthly income.
Energy Vault Electrifies Market With Accelerated Growth
By Thomas Hughes. Posted: 3/19/2026.
Key Points
- Energy Vault’s latest quarterly update showed sharply higher revenue and improving profitability metrics alongside a larger contracted backlog.
- Management’s 2026 outlook calls for continued top-line growth, but margins and cash generation remain key execution tests.
- Analyst sentiment has been cautious, while institutional ownership remains significant and short interest is notable.
- Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a "wealthy man"
Energy Vault (NYSE: NRGV) faces risks and hurdles, but it appears on track to sustain high growth, improve profitability, and drive value for investors. The Q4 release and guidance update not only reinforce the company's trajectory but also show that its growth flywheel is generating cash flow faster than expected. Notably, strong revenue performance and operational execution produced a surprise adjusted profit, positive cash flow, and improved capitalization, trends management expects to continue into 2026.
What is Energy Vault? It is a utility-grade energy storage company that focuses on co-located storage for renewable energy projects. One of its key differentiators is a gravity-based system for long-duration storage: towers and cranes lift and stack heavy blocks to store potential energy, similar in concept to the weights in a cuckoo clock. This mechanical approach enables long-term storage without the degradation common to chemical batteries. The company also offers lithium-ion, hydrogen, and hybrid solutions for municipalities, industrial customers, and major utilities.
Energy Vault Outperforms and Issues Strong Guidance for 2026
A terrifying historical pattern just reappeared (Ad)
Your portfolio may look stable right now, but Weiss Ratings is warning that a wealth-destroying event is already unfolding, and most investors are completely unprepared.
If your retirement depends on an IRA, 401(k), or blue-chip stocks, the stakes are too high to ignore. Millions were blindsided the first time this happened.
Find out what the mainstream media is missing and the exact steps you should take to protect yourself now.
See the full warningEnergy Vault delivered a robust quarter, driven by a massive capacity ramp. The company increased operating and contracted capacity by 8.3x on a trailing-twelve-month (TTM) basis, which helped drive a 358% jump in Q4 revenue to $153.3 million and roughly 50 basis points of outperformance versus consensus. That revenue strength, combined with execution quality, is accelerating the path to profitability.
Q4 2025 results showed a sharp improvement in GAAP gross profit, with gross margin expanding by more than 1,000 basis points alongside positive adjusted EBITDA and positive adjusted net income. In short, Energy Vault returned to positive adjusted earnings in the quarter, giving management confidence to issue stronger guidance and an improving profitability outlook.
Looking ahead, 2026 could be better still. The company is forecasting 30% revenue growth at the midpoint—well above MarketBeat's consensus—backed by the TTM capacity ramp and a growing backlog. Backlog increased 42% sequentially and about 300% year-over-year to more than $1.3 billion.
Cash flow is another important detail. Energy Vault improved its cash balance in Q4 through operations and capital raises and expects to build on that position in 2026. That suggests the threat of dilution and rising debt is receding and that sustained profitability is within reach.
Analysts at Odds With Results as Institutions Appear to Accumulate
MarketBeat had not yet tracked analyst updates in the hours after the release, though revisions are likely. The Q4 results run counter to recent trends of price-target cuts and downgrades driven by concerns about profitability, growth, and capitalization.
The report may not immediately change the analyst consensus, but it should prevent sentiment from deteriorating further. Currently the stock carries a consensus Reduce rating from five analysts, reflecting a 60% sell-side bias. Those analysts view the stock as overvalued near $3.80, but institutional investors tell a different story: institutional data show this group owning roughly 40% of the market and accumulating in early 2026, buying at a pace of more than $2 for every $1 sold.
Institutional activity has coincided with a reversal in the stock price. NRGV hit a low in 2025 and subsequently reversed course, moving above key moving averages and signaling potential for further upside. In 2026 the stock experienced a pullback that found support at a critical pivot point, a sign that market sentiment may be shifting.
In this scenario, the prevailing bearish tide appears to be shifting toward a more bullish stance and could gain momentum as the year progresses. How quickly that happens will depend on upcoming news, continued institutional buying, and whether analysts revise their views. If sentiment turns more positive, the stock could retest the $6 level and perhaps move higher. The main risk is short interest: short sellers increased their positions ahead of the report and could cap gains around that level.
MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/23 - 03/27
Reported by MarketBeat Staff. Article Published: 3/28/2026.
After last week's rally, stocks pulled back this week as uncertainty trumped everything else. The Trump administration's pause in hostilities with Iran initially soothed investor anxiety, but extending that pause conflicts with higher energy prices that are strengthening the case for rising inflation and, potentially, higher interest rates.
It's a headlines-driven market, with sellers controlling nearly every sector except energy. With markets closed Friday for Good Friday, trading activity is unlikely to pick up much this week. Investors will, however, get the latest read on the employment picture when the March jobs report arrives Friday morning.
When you take a step back, time in the market beats timing the market, and the fundamentals for many quality stocks still look bullish. MarketBeat analysts are here to help you find those opportunities. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week.

- Stocks were down sharply this week as uncertainty about the impact of the Iran conflict on inflation and interest rates outweighed a temporary pause in hostilities.
- Uncertainty will likely be the theme in a trading week that ends early ahead of the Easter weekend.
- Despite the bearish sentiment, many quality stocks still have strong fundamentals.

Articles by Thomas Hughes
History frequently repeats itself, and as Thomas Hughes pointed out, the S&P 500 is flashing a bearish signal that has a 100% accurate track record of leading to a bullish reversal for patient investors. Hughes noted short-term headwinds still exist, but this is a time to trust the charts.
Hughes also examined the chart for Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD), which is forming a consolidation pattern. He noted that strong institutional buying and planned product launches suggest that AMD stock is a hot buy ahead of earnings.
Many investors know corporate spin-offs can be an example of "addition by subtraction." Hughes explains why patient investors should pay attention to five companies that plan to spin off parts of their business in 2026.
Articles by Sam Quirke
Sam Quirke helped investors understand two electric vehicle stocks that may be moving in different directions. Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) has been a quiet outperformer, up more than 16% in the last 12 months. Quirke explained why two strategic shifts are getting analysts' attention and may point to an inflection point.
By contrast, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) faces regulatory scrutiny of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) platform, adding unwanted headwinds to TSLA stock, whose investor base has long depended on new avenues for growth.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently announced it was moving its annual Prime Day from July to June. That will benefit consumers, but Quirke explained why it may be an even bigger story for investors.
Articles by Chris Markoch
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) stock continues to slide. Chris Markoch noted that MSFT is now the cheapest Magnificent 7 stock by price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. He outlined why investors are hesitant in the near term, but also highlighted the bull case that may be getting lost amid short-term emotion.
Markoch also examined investors' reaction to the mixed report from Shoe Carnival Inc. (NASDAQ: SCVL). Investors must decide whether the market's response reflected the content of the report or the timing of its release, which coincided with a day of heightened geopolitical tensions.
As the second quarter begins, some investors may be looking to balance between being all in and being fully out of the market. Markoch offered three specific names that blend defensive qualities with growth potential in Q2 and beyond.

Space stocks are no longer science fiction — they're big business for companies and investors. This week, Ryan Hasson reminded readers that while the anticipated SpaceX IPO is getting most of the attention, there are two space stocks that are already delivering exceptional results.
Articles by Leo Miller
One of the space stocks on Hasson's list was Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL). The company reported earnings on March 19 and crushed expectations. Leo Miller highlighted the report's key takeaways and what they mean for a stock that now prices in years of future growth.
IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) made headlines with its definitive $1.8 billion agreement to acquire SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT). Miller explained what the deal means for IonQ's efforts to achieve fault tolerance and why it could be a game-changing partnership.
Insider trading activity always grabs investor attention, but should it? This week, Miller highlighted two companies with heavy insider selling that looks mostly like pre-planned, scheduled activity, and flagged one company where insider buying is worth noting.
Articles by Nathan Reiff
Nathan Reiff pointed out a shift in the exchange-traded fund (ETF) space where inflows into active ETFs now exceed those into passive ETFs. That suggests investors may be seeking safety while still prioritizing growth — a possible shift in how ETFs are being used.
Reiff also noted that the ongoing slide in Bitcoin is benefiting Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen strong inflows. He spotlighted two Bitcoin ETFs benefiting from this rotation and explained why this may signal a renewed, but more cautious, bullishness in crypto.
Reiff flagged a conundrum facing shareholders of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS). Technical indicators suggest QBTS is oversold, but its fundamentals — particularly valuation — look expensive. Reiff explained why short-term traders and long-term investors should watch for different signals.
Articles by Dan Schmidt
When it comes to defensive stocks, investors won't find many better options than waste removal companies. Dan Schmidt reminded readers that these businesses benefit from inelastic demand and long-term contracts. Schmidt offered three waste removal stocks with strong upside in this volatile market.
Many investors in energy stocks don't pay much attention to crack spreads. For those sitting on gains in small-cap downstream oil stocks, Schmidt explained why crack spreads matter and why it may be time to take profits.
Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson
Can a crisis create opportunity? That question is on the minds of many Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) shareholders after unsealed court documents revealed charges involving the illegal export of high-performance AI servers to China. Jeffrey Neal Johnson separated the business from the allegations and explained why the situation may present a deep value opportunity for SMCI investors.
The memory chip market has become the latest red-hot subsector in the AI buildout. Johnson explained why that's bullish for ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML), which recently signed an $8 billion deal that underscores the necessity of its EUV lithography technology.
The rally in chip stocks suggests many chipmakers may soon raise prices. Johnson explained how AI is powering this shift and why it could be the start of a multi-year opportunity for chipmakers to flex their pricing power.
Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods
Retail stocks are among the best barometers of consumer health. This week, Jennifer Ryan Woods covered two turnaround stories getting different reactions from investors. For example, Gap Inc. (NYSE: GAP) stock fell sharply after its early-March earnings report, but Woods explained that the stock has started to recover as investors reassess the company's fundamentals.
By contrast, Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) rose after its earnings report, but investors have cooled on the stock as cautious guidance outweighs signs that its turnaround strategy may be gaining traction.
Turning to travel, Woods explained why Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE) has been volatile. Investors are balancing a company with solid fundamentals against pressures beyond its control, which means the short-term outlook won't be smooth.
Articles by Peter Frank
Peter Frank helped investors make sense of SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), which Frank said has evolved from a student loan financer into "one of the more ambitious digital banking platforms in the United States." That maturity comes with challenges, but SOFI stock still looks like a solid long-term hold.
