Today's Featured Story MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/16 - 03/20Authored by MarketBeat Staff. Posted: 3/21/2026. As the calendar turns to spring, investors hope the March madness in stocks will end — but they may have to wait. This week, all major indexes closed below their 200-day moving averages, a technical indicator that can signal growing bearish investor sentiment. That sentiment is being reinforced by government data showing inflation remains stubborn, which will likely keep the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates — and recent chatter even includes a potential rate hike. Investors have overlooked troublesome data before, but what's different now is the overlay of the conflict with Iran. Questions remain about its duration and whether it will escalate — answers that will influence energy prices and, in turn, consumer sentiment. We've found The Next Elon Musk… and what we believe to be the next Tesla. It's already racked up $26 billion in government contracts. Peter Thiel just bet $1 Billion on it. 👉 Unlock the ticker now and get it completely free. Key Points - Spring has sprung, but will it help shake off the downturn in stocks that is now in its fourth week?
- Economic indicators show inflation is beginning to move higher, but the central focus continues to be on potential escalation in the U.S. conflict with Iran.
- Volatility will continue, but MarketBeat analysts can still point out opportunities.
- Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a "wealthy man"
Expect more volatility, but there are opportunities amid the chaos, and MarketBeat analysts can help you find them. Here are some of this week's most popular articles. Articles by Thomas Hughes Retail stocks continue to be among the most closely watched this earnings season. This week, Thomas Hughes analyzed recent reports from discount retailers Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR) and Ollie's Bargain Outlets (NASDAQ: OLLI). Both reported positive current-quarter results but offered cautious guidance. Dollar Tree's catalysts come from restructuring and remodeling. With Ollie's, the story is expansion. Hughes lays out the fundamental and technical case for why each stock looks like a compelling value at current prices. Then there's Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO). The manufacturer of small modular reactors reported earnings this week. Hughes noted that investors may be putting in a bottom after the stock's recent sell-off, which could produce strong upside if the company executes its plans. Articles by Sam Quirke Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) is bucking the sell-off in technology stocks. This week, Sam Quirke explained the technical backdrop suggesting investors may view the post-earnings CapEx-driven sell-off as overdone. Buy the rumor, sell the reality appears to be happening with PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL). The stock rallied on takeover rumors but has fallen sharply, which is reviving concerns about PayPal's relevance in a crowded market. Quirke also wrote about the surge in Cloudflare Inc. (NYSE: NET) after news it might create a stablecoin. He explained why the rapid growth of agentic AI makes this a logical move, but noted it's still some time away from becoming a reality: Cloudflare's stablecoin — catalyst or short-term hype? Articles by Chris Markoch Investors love stock splits, even if mostly for psychological reasons. After high-profile splits in 2025, a handful of companies could be candidates to split in 2026 based on price alone. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three stocks to watch. Congressional trading hasn't been banned, so investors still pay attention to what stocks members of Congress are buying. This week, Markoch pointed out five stocks that lawmakers have traded in the last 90 days. It's not surprising to hear about another groundbreaking deal from Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). However, the company's recent partnership with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) should not be quickly overlooked. Articles by Ryan Hasson When markets are moving lower, it can help to ride the hot hand. This week, Ryan Hasson spotlighted the three best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 and explained why each may have more room to run. In broad market selloffs, even quality stocks can go on sale. Hasson pointed investors to five large-cap stocks that are oversold despite solid fundamentals — it may be time to get out the shopping list. The downturn in tech stocks has a lot to do with valuation and fears of unrealistic growth projections. But that's not the case for the two technology stocks that are holding their own in a volatile market. Articles by Leo Miller The artificial intelligence infrastructure trade has many layers, which helps explain why shares of Credo Technology (NASDAQ: CRDO) and Astera Labs (NASDAQ: ALAB) have been moving higher. Leo Miller highlighted those stocks and explained the dynamics likely to push them higher. Sticking with under-the-radar names, Miller explained the role Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) plays in the AI and defense spending boom — and why valuation deserves careful consideration. What's in a name? In the case of Everpure (NYSE: PSTG), it's quite a lot. The company formerly known as Pure Storage has rebranded to reflect a shift toward an intelligent data-management platform rather than just data storage. Miller noted, however, that the post-earnings drop underscores what investors really care about. Articles by Nathan Reiff D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) is one of the more enticing names in quantum computing. Nathan Reiff explained why IBM's quantum-computing research presents a real challenge to D-Wave, not only because of technology but also because of balance-sheet strength. There seems to be a new headline related to GLP-1 drugs every week, which can be more challenging for investors than for patients. This week, Reiff highlighted three players in the GLP-1 space and why they may be names to watch closely. Stocks and bonds often move inversely. The bond market may not be on fire, but Reiff wrote about two active bond ETFs that are off to a strong start in 2026. Articles by Dan Schmidt Volatile markets can create opportunities for momentum traders comfortable with risk. This week, Dan Schmidt turned to the charts to highlight technical indicators that point to a bullish reversal in three well-known stocks. Much of the talk around the Strait of Hormuz focuses on oil. However, Schmidt pointed out that it's also a key artery for the plant nutrients used to make fertilizer, creating a supply-demand imbalance that could send three fertilizer stocks soaring. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson In addition to oil and fertilizer stocks, a closure of the Strait of Hormuz would affect the supply chain for chemical stocks. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained what's happening in the Strait and why it's bullish for two chemical stocks that also have attractive defensive qualities. The AI revolution is happening fast. Johnson pointed out that investors may want to look beyond chipmakers and data-center names to retailers — many retailers are using AI in their supply chains — and he highlighted two top retail names to consider. Good enough hasn't been good enough for many companies this earnings season, but a substantial beat gets attention. That was the case with El Pollo Loco (NASDAQ: LOCO). Johnson highlighted the company's strong earnings report and why it is well-positioned in the rapidly growing fast-casual market. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods Home Depot (NYSE: HD) is an example of a quality company operating in a tough environment. The housing and renovation market remains weak, but Jennifer Ryan Woods noted that analysts remain bullish on HD stock, and even a modest recovery could reward investors who buy on weakness. Wayfair Inc. (NYSE: W) has taken investors on a tariff-induced roller coaster, climbing nearly 500% at its peak. But with the stock now pulling back, Woods explained why analysts are scrutinizing the company's mixed earnings and why investors may want to do the same. Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE) has become a complicated trade after issuing cautious guidance for 2026, forcing investors to rethink margin expectations. Woods analyzed both the reasons the stock looks attractive and the reasons for concern. Articles by Peter Frank Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ: IBKR) is up more than 50% in the last 12 months. This week, Peter Frank explained why the fast-growing brokerage may continue to outperform, while also pointing out potential headwinds if interest rates fall or trading activity slows. Like many financial-services companies, Stifel Financial (NYSE: SF) enjoyed a strong 2025. Frank reminded readers that "...when you play the market with a stock that's dependent on the market, there's always risk." Read his article to decide if SF stock can fill a spot in your portfolio. |
