Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/16 - 03/20Authored by MarketBeat Staff. Date Posted: 3/21/2026. As spring arrives, 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 suggesting investor psychology is turning bearish. That sentiment is being reinforced by government data showing inflation remains stubborn, which will likely keep the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates — and some chatter even includes the possibility of higher rates. Investors have overlooked troublesome data before. What's different now is the added factor of the conflict with Iran. Questions remain about how long it will last and whether it will escalate. The answers will influence energy prices, a direct barometer of 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 companies posted positive current-quarter results but offered cautious guidance. Dollar Tree's catalysts come from restructuring and remodeling, while with Ollie's the story is expansion. Hughes lays out the fundamental and technical cases for why each stock could be compelling at current prices. Then there's Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO), the maker of small modular reactors, which reported earnings this week. Hughes noted that investors may be putting in a bottom after the recent sell-off — a development that could lead to meaningful 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 showing why investors may believe the post-earnings CapEx sell-off was overdone. Buy the rumor, sell the reality? That seems to be the case with PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL). The stock rallied on takeover rumors, but the subsequent pullback has been sharp, 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 the idea logical, while noting it's still some time from becoming reality. Articles by Chris Markoch Investors often like stock splits for psychological reasons. After several high-profile splits in 2025, a few companies could be candidates to split their stock in 2026 based on share price alone. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three names to watch. Congressional trading hasn't been banned yet, so investors still pay attention to what lawmakers buy. Markoch pointed out five stocks that members of Congress have traded in the last 90 days. It's not surprising to hear about another headline-grabbing deal from Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). Its recent partnership with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) deserves attention. 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 names can go on sale. Hasson highlighted five large-cap stocks that are oversold despite solid fundamentals — a potential shopping list for patient investors. Valuation concerns and unrealistic growth expectations have pressured tech stocks, but Hasson identified two technology stocks that are holding their own in a volatile market. Articles by Leo Miller The AI 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 the dynamics likely to push them further. Sticking with under-the-radar names, Miller explained the role Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) plays in the AI and defense spending boom, while flagging valuation concerns investors should consider. What's in a name? For Everpure (NYSE: PSTG) — formerly Pure Storage — it's significant. The company renamed itself to reflect a shift toward an intelligent data-management platform, but Miller noted the post-earnings drop shows what investors really prioritize. Articles by Nathan Reiff D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) is an enticing name in quantum computing. Nathan Reiff explained why IBM's quantum research poses a challenge to D-Wave, not only technologically but also on the balance-sheet front. There seems to be a new headline about GLP-1 drugs every week, which can complicate investing. This week, Reiff highlighted three companies at the forefront of the GLP-1 pill wars that investors should watch. Stocks and bonds usually move inversely, and while the bond market isn't exactly on fire, 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 willing to take risk. This week, Dan Schmidt used the charts to highlight technical indicators pointing to a bullish reversal in three well-known stocks. Much of the talk around the Strait of Hormuz centers on oil, but Schmidt noted it's also a key artery for plant nutrients used in fertilizer. That's creating a supply-demand imbalance that could send three fertilizer stocks higher. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson In addition to oil and fertilizer, a closure of the Strait of Hormuz affects chemical supply chains. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained the situation and why it's bullish for two chemical stocks with attractive defensive qualities. The AI revolution is happening fast, so Johnson suggested investors look beyond chipmakers and data-center operators — even retailers can be AI plays. He pointed to two retailers using AI in their supply chains that may deserve attention. Good enough hasn't been good enough this earnings season, but a substantial beat gets noticed. That was the case with El Pollo Loco (NASDAQ: LOCO), whose strong report Johnson highlighted as evidence it's well-positioned in the fast-casual market: read more here. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods Home Depot (NYSE: HD) is a quality company operating in a tough environment. The housing and renovation markets remain weak, but Jennifer Ryan Woods noted that analysts are still bullish on HD, and even a modest recovery could reward investors who buy on weakness. Wayfair Inc. (NYSE: W) has been on a tariff-driven roller coaster, with W stock climbing nearly 500% before the recent pullback. Woods explained why analysts are parsing 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 2026 guidance that is forcing investors to rethink margin expectations. Woods analyzed why the stock has attractions as well as valid concerns. Articles by Peter Frank Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ: IBKR) is up more than 50% over the past 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 declines. Like many financial-services firms, Stifel Financial (NYSE: SF) enjoyed a strong 2025. Frank warned that "...when you play the market with a stock that's dependent on the market, there's always risk." Read his piece to decide if SF stock belongs in your portfolio. |
