Exclusive Story MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/23 - 03/27Reported by MarketBeat Staff. 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 an extension of that pause would conflict 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 in control across most sectors except energy. With markets closed Friday for Good Friday, trading activity is unlikely to pick up much. Investors will, however, get the latest read on the labor market when the March jobs report arrives Friday morning. When you step back, time in the market beats timing the market, and the fundamentals for many quality stocks still look bullish. The MarketBeat analysts are here to help you find those opportunities. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. Elon Musk believes this technology could make Tesla the most valuable company in the world — yet the core infrastructure powering it is not owned by Tesla at all. It belongs to one of Musk's private ventures, with thousands of systems already running globally around the clock. Veteran tech investor Matt McCall has identified a little-known way everyday investors can gain exposure. The stock is currently trading for less than $30. Reveal the ticker now 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 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 that 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 a case of "addition by subtraction." Hughes explains why patient investors should watch five companies planning spin-offs 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 quietly outperformed, up more than 16% over the past 12 months. Quirke explained why two strategic shifts are drawing 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, creating added headwinds for a company whose investor base expects new avenues for growth. Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently announced it was moving its annual Prime Day from July to June. That may benefit consumers, but Quirke explained why the timing shift could be an even bigger story for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) stock continues to slide. Chris Markoch noted MSFT is now the cheapest Magnificent 7 stock by price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. He reviewed reasons for investor hesitancy but also explained the bullish case that may be getting lost amid near-term emotion. Markoch also highlighted investor reaction to a mixed report from Shoe Carnival Inc. (NASDAQ: SCVL). Investors will need to decide whether the market's response reflected what the company reported or the timing of the report, which came on a day when geopolitical tensions pushed the broader market lower. As the second quarter begins, some investors will be looking for a balance between being fully invested and fully defensive. Markoch offered three specific names that blend defensive qualities with growth potential for Q2 and beyond. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are no longer science fiction—they're big business. This week, Ryan Hasson reminded investors that while the anticipated SpaceX IPO is getting attention, there are two space stocks already delivering exceptional results. Articles by Leo Miller One of the space names on Hasson's list was Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL). The company reported earnings on March 19 and beat expectations handily. Leo Miller broke down the highlights and what they mean for a stock that has now priced in years of future growth. IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) made headlines with a 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 attention. This week, Miller highlighted two companies with heavy insider selling that appears mostly pre-planned and scheduled, and one company where insider buying is worth noting. Articles by Nathan Reiff Nathan Reiff pointed out a shift in the 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 potential shift in how ETFs are being used. On the crypto front, Reiff noted that the slide in Bitcoin has coincided with strong inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. He highlighted two Bitcoin ETFs benefiting from this rotation and why it may signal a renewed, but more cautious, bullishness in the crypto space. Reiff also explored a conundrum facing shareholders of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS). Technical indicators suggest QBTS is oversold, yet fundamentals and valuation point to it being expensive. He explained why short-term traders and long-term investors will be watching different signals. Articles by Dan Schmidt When it comes to defensive sectors, waste removal companies are among the better options. Dan Schmidt reminded investors that these companies benefit from inelastic demand and long-term contracts, and he highlighted 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 names, Schmidt explained why crack spreads matter — and why it may be time to consider taking profits. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Can a crisis create opportunity? That question is top of mind for many Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) shareholders after unsealed court documents revealed the company's co‑founder and two others were charged in a scheme involving the illegal export of high-performance AI servers to China. Jeffrey Neal Johnson separated the business implications from the serious allegations and explained why the stock may represent a deep-value opportunity. The memory chip market has become a red-hot subsector of the AI buildout. Johnson explained why that trend is bullish for ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML), which recently signed an $8 billion deal underscoring the necessity of its EUV lithography technology. The rally in chip stocks suggests many chipmakers may raise prices. Johnson explained how AI is powering this shift and why it could be the beginning of a multi-year opportunity for chipmakers to exercise pricing power. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods Retail stocks remain a key barometer of consumer health. This week, Jennifer Ryan Woods wrote about two turnaround stories drawing different investor reactions. For example, Gap Inc. (NYSE: GAP) plunged after its early-March earnings report, but Woods noted the stock has begun to recover as investors reassess the company's fundamentals. Conversely, Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) rose after its earnings release, yet investors cooled on the stock as concerns about cautious guidance outweighed signs the turnaround strategy is gaining traction. Turning to travel, Woods explained why Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE) has been volatile: solid fundamentals are being offset by pressures largely beyond the company's control, making the short-term outlook bumpy. Articles by Peter Frank Peter Frank helped investors make sense of SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), which, as Frank noted, has evolved from a student‑loan financier into "one of the more ambitious digital banking platforms in the United States." That maturity brings challenges, but SOFI stock still looks like a solid long-term hold. |
