More Reading from MarketBeat Media MarketBeat Week in Review – 02/16 - 02/20Author: MarketBeat Staff. Date Posted: 2/21/2026. If investors are waiting for less market volatility, they’ll have to wait a little longer. Markets continued to oscillate between losses and gains as investors digested the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the emergency tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Ultimately, the ruling was just one data point among several economic releases this week, and the story is far from over. The larger narrative still centers on technology stocks, especially those tied to artificial intelligence (AI). Investors are also weighing geopolitical risks as the United States continues to build up its military presence in the Middle East. The takeaway: volatility may remain elevated, but opportunities will persist for both traders and long-term investors. MarketBeat analysts are here to help you find them. Below are some of our most popular articles from the week. What if you could claim a stake in what's set to be the biggest IPO ever… starting with just $500?
Everyone is talking about Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO. Click here to get the details and I'll show you how to claim your stake… Key Points - Markets are still volatile as investors weigh court-driven tariff uncertainty, mixed economic data, and geopolitical risk.
- Artificial intelligence-linked technology stocks remain a primary market driver, with earnings and CapEx narratives in focus.
- Across sectors, institutional buying and contrarian setups are creating selective opportunities for traders and long-term investors.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
Articles by Thomas Hughes NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) will deliver the headline earnings report on Wednesday. Most analysts expect a strong showing, but is that strength already priced in? This week Thomas Hughes highlighted technical indicators showing institutional investors buying ahead of earnings in anticipation of a sizable move higher: institutional investors are buying ahead of the earnings report. Oracle Corp. (NYSE: ORCL) has been caught up in the AI spending backlash. Concerns center on leverage, but Hughes argues investors should focus on Oracle’s backlog, which could make ORCL a generational buying opportunity ahead of its March earnings. Institutional buying is also a catalyst for Medtronic (NYSE: MDT). The medical-devices company’s stock has been under pressure, but its latest earnings highlighted an attractive value-and-yield combination. Articles by Sam Quirke Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is a good example of a stock worth what investors are willing to pay. This week Sam Quirke highlighted Elon Musk’s “Amazing Abundance” mission, which repositions Tesla as a robotics and autonomy company. Many shareholders have embraced that shift, but near-term success will require broader investor support. Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) has surrendered two years of gains amid the recent tech sell-off that spread into chip stocks. Analysts have raised doubts, but Quirke noted traders may find the contrarian signals too strong to ignore. Another contrarian opportunity may be Verisk Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSK). The stock has fallen sharply since June 2025, but Quirke noted sentiment is washed out and at least one analyst has upgraded VRSK to bullish. Articles by Chris Markoch Retail stocks have underperformed as a group, though discount retailers have been among the winners. With many retailers reporting in the coming weeks, Chris Markoch identified three discount retailers with upside despite elevated valuations. One of the biggest items this week was Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), which announced a 25-for-1 stock split effective April 2. Markoch explained why the split reduces friction for retail investors and may help offset concerns about AI’s impact on the business. Markoch also examined the energy sector and highlighted two stocks that offer ways to participate in the energy transition for investors seeking growth or value. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the strongest performers among the Magnificent Seven in recent years, but concerns over CapEx have interrupted the bull run. Ryan Hasson explained why this pullback could be a second chance for long-term investors who missed the initial rally. It may not draw the same attention as NVIDIA, but Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) reports earnings next week, and investors will be watching closely. Hasson highlighted the core issue: the timeline for the maiden launch of its Neutron rocket. AI bubble fears have spread into software names, with some top software stocks down 25% or more in 2026. Hasson identified five beaten-down software stocks that look too cheap to ignore. Articles by Leo Miller AEHR Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) is up about 59% in 2026. The company plays a critical role in stress-testing semiconductor chips, and that pick-and-shovel positioning has helped insulate it from broader tech uncertainty. Miller wrote about a major hyperscaler deal analysts believe will boost upside. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) was in the news for dubious reasons this week, but Miller explained how a major investor is focused on AI as a springboard for Meta’s core advertising business: why a billionaire is buying. The Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) acquisition saga remains on investors’ radar. Miller summarized the latest: Warner Bros. continues to endorse the current offer from Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) but is still waiting for Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) to provide its “best and final offer.” Articles by Nathan Reiff The quantum computing sector remains volatile. This week Nathan Reiff highlighted Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT), which has been “less bad” than peers like D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: QBTS). Reiff noted the company’s unique positioning but also flagged risks that remain: risks that are still out there. For some investors, Corning Inc. (NYSE: GLW) has been a surprise winner in the AI trade as demand for its fiber-optics products rises with the shift to photon-based data transfer. With the stock up more than 50% in 2026, Reiff analyzed potential catalysts and headwinds for investors to consider: how to read conflicting signals on Corning. Risk-tolerant investors bearish on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies might consider an inverse cryptocurrency ETF. These funds rise as the underlying crypto assets fall; Reiff highlighted three speculative funds traders may want to consider. Articles by Dan Schmidt Opportunities exist even in beaten-down sectors. Dan Schmidt explained why McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD) and Texas Roadhouse Inc. (NASDAQ: TXRH) posted earnings that showed strength despite a difficult environment. Surprises are inevitable during earnings season. The key is knowing what to do next. Schmidt highlighted three under-the-radar stocks that delivered upside surprises which could signal a shift in investor sentiment. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Logistics stocks have been under pressure, and many analysts expect industry consolidation. Jeffrey Neal Johnson reported that ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (NYSE: ZIM) surprised shareholders with a definitive agreement to be acquired, delivering a substantial premium and a possible merger-arbitrage trade. Investors should watch what institutional investors buy, since it often goes against market momentum. That was the case when BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK) took a substantial position in Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS), a move that supports the AI infrastructure company. Joby Aviation Inc. (NYSE: JOBY) remains under pressure, but Johnson highlighted news that should improve manufacturing efficiency as the company prepares to enter production: improvements to its manufacturing plan. Articles by Jordan Chussler Dividend stocks appeal to many investors, especially if interest rates move lower. That appears likely in 2026, which is why Jordan Chussler highlighted two dividend ETFs that offer reliable income and capital appreciation, and have outperformed the S&P 500 year-to-date. To close out this week’s review, read Chussler’s bull case for Cameco Corp. (NYSE: CCJ). The takeaway: if the world embraces nuclear power, it will need Cameco to meet rising uranium demand.
