Just For You MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/23 - 03/27Author: MarketBeat Staff. Originally Published: 3/28/2026. After last week's rally, stocks pulled back this week as uncertainty trumped (no pun intended) everything else. The Trump administration's pause in hostilities with Iran initially soothed investor anxiety, but higher energy prices complicate that calm — they bolster the case for rising inflation and, potentially, higher interest rates. It's a headlines-driven market, with sellers controlling most sectors 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 labor market when the March jobs report lands Friday morning. When you step back, time in the market still beats timing the market, and the fundamentals for many quality stocks remain constructive. The MarketBeat analysts are here to help you spot those opportunities. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. "What's happening in NYC will spread..." Last year I ran for Mayor of New York City... and lost to a 34-year-old Democratic Socialist. Now he wants to spend $70 million just to study government-run grocery stores. Raise property taxes 9.5%. And hike taxes on every corporation and high earner. I've spent 30 years on Wall Street. And I'm convinced what's starting in New York is just the beginning. I've put together a free analysis explaining exactly what's coming, and what you can do about it. Read it here. Key Points - 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.
- Special Report: Elon's "Hidden" Company
Articles by Thomas Hughes History often repeats itself. As Thomas Hughes pointed out, the S&P 500 is flashing a bearish signal that has a 100% accurate track record of preceding a bullish reversal for patient investors. Hughes noted short-term headwinds remain, 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 highlighted strong institutional buying and upcoming product launches, arguing that AMD stock looks like 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 planning spin-offs in 2026. Articles by Sam Quirke Sam Quirke helped investors parse two electric-vehicle names that may be moving in opposite directions. Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) has quietly outperformed, up more than 16% over the past 12 months. Quirke explained why two strategic shifts are drawing analysts' attention and could signal an inflection point. By contrast, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) faces regulatory scrutiny of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) platform, adding headwinds to a stock whose investor base expects new growth avenues from autonomy. Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently announced it is moving Prime Day from July to June. While that helps consumers, Quirke explains why the timing shift could matter even more for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) stock has slipped, and Chris Markoch noted MSFT is now the cheapest of the Magnificent 7 by price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. He revisited why investors are wary but also outlined the bull case that may be getting lost amid near-term emotion. Markoch also reviewed investors' reaction to Shoe Carnival Inc.'s mixed report (NASDAQ: SCVL). The key question: was the market response driven by what the company reported or simply the timing of the announcement on a day of geopolitical pressure? As Q2 begins, Markoch offered three specific names that blend defensive features with growth potential for investors navigating uncertainty. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are no longer science fiction—they're a growing industry. This week, Ryan Hasson reminded readers that while the much-anticipated SpaceX IPO draws headlines, there are two space stocks already delivering notable results. Articles by Leo Miller One of Hasson's picks was Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), which reported March 19 earnings that beat expectations. Leo Miller summarized the highlights and what they mean for a stock that appears to have priced in several years of future growth. IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) grabbed headlines with a definitive $1.8 billion agreement to acquire SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT). Miller explained how the deal advances IonQ's push toward fault tolerance and why it could be a game-changing partnership. Insider trading often grabs attention, but should it? This week Miller flagged two companies with heavy insider selling that appears to be mostly pre-planned, scheduled activity, and highlighted one company where insider buying is notable. Articles by Nathan Reiff Nathan Reiff noted a shift in the ETF market: inflows into active ETFs have recently exceeded those into passive funds. That suggests investors may be seeking safety while still prioritizing growth — potentially a structural change in how investors use ETFs. On crypto, Reiff pointed out that the slide in Bitcoin has coincided with strong inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. He highlighted two Bitcoin ETFs benefiting from that rotation and explained why this may signal a safer form of renewed bullishness in the space. Reiff also described a conundrum for shareholders of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS). Technical indicators suggest QBTS is oversold, but its valuation and fundamentals look expensive. He outlined what short-term traders versus long-term investors should watch. Articles by Dan Schmidt For defensive exposure, few sectors are better than waste removal. Dan Schmidt reminded readers that these companies benefit from inelastic demand and long-term contracts, and he identified three waste-removal stocks with upside in a volatile market. Many energy investors don't focus on crack spreads, but Schmidt explained why they matter for holders of small-cap downstream oil stocks — and why it may be time to consider taking 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 alleged the company's co-founder and two others were involved in an illegal export scheme. Jeffrey Neal Johnson separated the business from the allegations and explained why SMCI might present a deep-value opportunity. The memory-chip market has become a hot subsector in the AI buildout. Johnson explained why that's bullish for ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML), which recently signed an $8 billion deal reaffirming the importance of its EUV lithography technology. Johnson also noted the rally in chip stocks — and why AI-driven demand may allow many chipmakers to exercise pricing power over the coming years. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods Retail stocks remain a key barometer of consumer health. Jennifer Ryan Woods covered two turnaround stories drawing different investor reactions. Gap Inc. (NYSE: GAP) plunged after its early-March earnings release but, as Woods noted, the stock has begun to recover as investors reassess the fundamentals. Conversely, Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) rallied after its earnings, yet investors have cooled on the name because cautious guidance has tempered enthusiasm about its turnaround. In travel, Woods discussed why Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE) has been volatile: the company has solid fundamentals but faces pressures beyond its control, so the near-term outlook is unlikely to be smooth. Articles by Peter Frank Peter Frank helped investors make sense of SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), which, as Frank noted, has evolved from a lender of student loans into "one of the more ambitious digital banking platforms in the United States." That maturation brings challenges, but SoFi still looks like a solid long-term hold. |
