Exclusive News MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/12 - 01/16Reported by MarketBeat Staff. Published: 1/17/2026. Data-driven investors have reason to be bullish. The latest labor numbers stayed firm, inflation came in at a manageable level, and the 30-year mortgage rate ticked lower. The data may not signal the need for more rate cuts, but it also suggests the economy may not need them. It's a win for those who believe stocks will move higher in 2026. Bank earnings were generally solid, yet many bank stocks fell on valuation concerns. Could that be a theme for the rest of earnings season? Investors will learn more next week as the reporting period ramps up. U.S. markets will be closed on Monday in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. However, some important economic reports are still scheduled for release, including the October and November PCE index data, which will be published on Friday. These reports were delayed due to the government shutdown. Gold is up almost $2,000 an ounce in the past year, catching many on Wall Street by surprise. But one analyst predicted the move. Right after Trump's election, he called for gold to pass $3,200, and it happened within two days. He said it would soar past $4,100, and it did within two months. He predicted $5,000 early in 2026, and that just happened. Now he says gold is headed to $7,000 soon with $10,000 on the near horizon. But despite gold's run, there's a way to make even more, an approach that has delivered 31, 65, even 469 times higher gains than gold itself. Learn the critical details now. In Brief - The bulls had many reasons to cheer this week as information on jobs, inflation, and housing all supported higher stock prices.
- Bank earnings were generally strong, but concerns about valuation persist; that may become a theme this earnings season.
- U.S. markets will be closed on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Articles by Thomas Hughes This week, Thomas Hughes reminded investors that the deal between Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) illustrates the risk of being on the wrong side of this trade. That's particularly true of Oklo, which appears to be in rebound mode. Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) reported strong results this week, yet the stock still fell as investors deemed them not "good enough." Hughes analyzed the report and explained why this short-term overreaction sets up a compelling buy-the-dip opportunity. Many investors may wonder what GPU-as-a-Service really means and which stocks offer the best opportunities. Hughes answered both questions in his piece on the five best GPU-as-a-Service picks for 2026, including the stock he views as the clear winner. Articles by Sam Quirke If early earnings are any indication, it could be a tough stretch for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) shareholders. Sam Quirke explained why the long-term bull case for TSLA is under pressure from the bears, leaving little room for error when Tesla reports in a couple of weeks. Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) will also need to deliver in its upcoming report. Quirke argued a recent downgrade is more of a caution flag than a sell signal, and that QCOM may have a more favorable setup than investors assume. The noise around Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) is getting almost binge-worthy. But Quirke noted the bearish momentum may be running out of steam, which could make NFLX a buy after it reports next week. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) has both staunch supporters and vocal critics. This week, Chris Markoch laid out three reasons many investors remain skeptical about PLTR and how much weight institutional investors should give those arguments. Despite signs of a growing economy, JPMorgan Chase recently suggested a 35% chance of a recession. For investors looking to play defense, Markoch offered three defensive stocks that could help portfolios survive a 2026 downturn. Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB) has risen with the price of lithium. Markoch explained why that trend is likely to continue in 2026 and why analysts are raising the bar for ALB. Articles by Ryan Hasson Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) joined the $4 trillion market-cap club this week. Ryan Hasson explained why Alphabet's growth story may extend beyond its Apple deal and AI. The big banks usually lead each earnings season. Next week, it's the regional banks' turn. Hasson analyzed the performance of one of the regional bank sector's top ETFs and why the sector may be at a key inflection point growth-oriented investors shouldn't ignore. Speaking of growth, the market is broadening beyond the tech sector. Hasson highlighted five growth stocks that could emerge from this rotation in 2026. Articles by Leo Miller Leo Miller reminded investors that the semiconductor industry operates within a large global supply chain. With that in mind, Miller pointed to three solid choices for chip stocks from non-U.S. companies. Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) was one of 2025's top performers. Miller reported that several of Wall Street's biggest banks believe 2026 could be an encore for AVGO. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM) was another standout in 2025. Miller analyzed TSMC's recent earnings and why it sets the stage for continued growth in 2026. Articles by Nathan Reiff Nathan Reiff reminded investors that finding underfollowed stocks can pay off. These ideas carry risk, but Reiff identified three underfollowed stocks that could deliver outsized returns for risk-tolerant investors. One trend from 2025 was companies shifting from cryptocurrency to data-center and AI infrastructure plays. Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ: GLXY) is one such company, and Reiff argued the firm's dual focus may be the key to its growth in 2026. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) announced a major acquisition this week that Reiff noted may help the company close the technology gap with gate-model-focused competitors. However, investors remain cautious because commercial viability is likely still years away. Articles by Dan Schmidt The relative strength index (RSI) is a common momentum metric that can help investors identify oversold stocks. Dan Schmidt highlighted three stocks that are oversold on RSI and have catalysts that could set the stage for a rebound in 2026. Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) has been in a downtrend since early summer 2025. Schmidt explained why December sales figures may make it harder for investors to continue punishing COST stock and why it could be due for a recovery (read more). Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson We still can't get enough of NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA). With NVIDIA announcing its new Rubin architecture, Jeffrey Neal Johnson highlighted three stocks that could help make Rubin a reality and offer notable upside. The Federal Reserve's decision to hold off on rate cuts may prompt investors to rotate from high-growth names into value. This week, Johnson proposed a strategy using two ETFs that can help investors rebalance for 2026. Most investors already know Apple tapped Alphabet to power Apple Intelligence. Johnson explained why Apple made that choice and what it could mean for both companies' stocks. Articles by Jordan Chussler Many investors want undervalued stocks that could deliver a 50% return in 2026. Jordan Chussler identified one such opportunity in a beaten-down SaaS company poised for a strong rebound. Healthcare stocks rallied in the back half of 2025. Chussler showed why a key sector ETF's performance is evidence that the healthcare rebound may continue in 2026. Investing after an IPO carries risk, but there are recent examples where it worked for retail investors. With that in mind, Chussler examined the opportunity presented by the recent IPO of Aktis Oncology (NASDAQ: AKTS).
