Meet the "Customers" Replacing You Online

Dear Investor,

Imagine a customer that never sleeps... never eats... never watches ads.

It negotiates prices in milliseconds. Executes thousands of purchases per second. And it doesn't need a credit card, a bank account, or a billing address.

These customers already exist. And they're multiplying fast.

The world's top CEOs are sounding the alarm…

Jensen Huang says "digital employees" will work alongside humans at every major company.

Sam Altman predicts more intellectual capacity inside data centers than outside them by 2028.

Industry projections put their spending power at over $30 trillion annually.

But here's what almost nobody realizes... the current financial system physically cannot process their transactions. It breaks. Every time.

One specific solution has already been built and tested. And at the center of it sits a single asset.

My team believes this could be the biggest call we've ever made... bigger than our 71,382% winner.

Discover this exciting new asset before this goes mainstream.

The biggest fortunes are made before the crowd shows up.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/16 - 03/20

Submitted by MarketBeat Staff. First Published: 3/21/2026.

As the calendar turns to spring, investors are hoping the March madness in stocks will end — but they may have to wait. This week, all the major indexes closed below their 200-day moving averages, a technical signal that can indicate growing bearish investor psychology.

Government data showing persistent inflation is feeding that sentiment. It will likely keep the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates, and recent chatter even includes the possibility of a rate increase.

Investors have overlooked troublesome data before. What's different now is the overlay of the conflict with Iran. Questions remain about how long it will last and whether it will escalate; the answers will influence energy prices, which are a direct indicator of consumer sentiment.

URGENT: $2 Gold Stock With Major Discovery (Ad)

A $2 gold stock is said to quietly control what may be the largest gold deposit in the world - worth nearly $1 trillion.

According to Jim Rickards, an announcement is expected around April 15 that could bring this historic discovery into public view.

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's "Hidden" Company

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 remain 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 delivered 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 case for why each stock looks like a compelling value at current prices.

Then there's Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO), a manufacturer of small modular reactors that reported earnings this week. Hughes noted that investors appear to be putting in a bottom after the stock's recent sell-off, which could lead to strong upside if the company executes on 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 that suggests investors may believe the post-earnings CapEx sell-off was overdone.

Buy the rumor, sell the reality? That appears to be the case with PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL). The stock rallied sharply on takeover rumors but has pulled back just as quickly, which revives 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, while noting it's likely some time away from becoming reality.

Articles by Chris Markoch

Investors love stock splits, even for psychological reasons. Following several high-profile splits in 2025, more companies could be candidates to split their stock in 2026 based solely on price. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three names to watch.

Congressional trading hasn't been banned, so investors still pay attention to what lawmakers are buying. Markoch pointed out five stocks that members of Congress traded in the last 90 days.

It's not surprising to hear about another big 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 head lower, it can help to ride the hot hand. This week, Ryan Hasson highlighted the three best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 and explained why each may have more room to run.

In broad selloffs, even quality names 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.

Valuation concerns and fears of unrealistic growth projections have weighed on tech. But that's not the case for the two technology stocks that are holding their ground in a volatile market.

Articles by Leo Miller

The artificial intelligence (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 names and 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 noted valuation concerns investors should consider.

What's in a name? In the case of Everpure (NYSE: PSTG), it's quite a lot. The company formerly known as Pure Storage changed its name to reflect a shift toward an intelligent data-management platform rather than just data storage — but Miller pointed out that the post-earnings drop shows 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 poses a challenge to D-Wave — not just because of technology but also because of IBM's balance sheet.

There seems to be a new headline about 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 investors should watch closely.

Stocks and bonds often move inversely. The bond market may not be on fire, but Reiff wrote about two active bond exchange-traded funds (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 looked to the charts to highlight technical indicators that point to a bullish reversal in three well-known stocks.

Much of the Strait of Hormuz discussion focuses on oil, but Schmidt pointed out it's also a key artery for the plant nutrients used to make fertilizer. That's creating a supply-demand imbalance that could send three fertilizer stocks soaring.

Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson

In addition to oil and fertilizer, the Strait of Hormuz's closure affects the supply chain for chemical stocks. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained what's happening and why it's bullish for two chemical companies that also offer defensive qualities.

The AI revolution is happening fast. Johnson suggested investors look beyond chipmakers and data-center names to consider retailers using AI in their supply chains: two retail leaders to consider.

Good enough hasn't been enough this earnings season, but a substantial beat gets attention. That was the case with El Pollo Loco (NASDAQ: LOCO), and Johnson highlighted the company's strong report and why it's well-positioned in the 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. After a nearly 500% climb, the stock is pulling back — Woods explained why analysts are scrutinizing Wayfair'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, prompting investors to reassess margin expectations. Woods analyzed both reasons the stock looks attractive and reasons for concern.

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 noting potential headwinds if interest rates fall or trading activity slows.

Like many financial-services firms, Stifel Financial (NYSE: SF) enjoyed a strong 2025. But as Frank observed, "…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 earn a spot in your portfolio.

This Week's Bonus Article

Dollar Tree Planted the Seeds for Triple-Digit Gains in Q4

Reported by Thomas Hughes. Article Posted: 3/16/2026.

Key Points

Dollar Tree is well-positioned to grow over time and offers a deep value opportunity for investors, with triple-digit gains ahead.
Share buybacks underpin the stock price outlook, reducing the count aggressively each year.
Institutions reflect a high conviction by owning more than 97% of the stock, but present a headwind in Q1 2026.
Special Report: Elon's "Hidden" Company

Dollar Tree's (NASDAQ: DLTR) 2026 price action, though tepid, is almost irrelevant; the value opportunity with shares near $110 is substantial. Headwinds and risks aside, forecasts imply the stock is trading at roughly 10X its 2030 consensus and about 5X the 2035 forecast, suggesting potential for 100% to 400% upside versus the broad market. Time is the primary constraint. For now, the company is executing well, generating cash flow and returning capital in ways that can build long-term value.

Dollar Tree does not pay a dividend, instead opting to aggressively repurchase shares. Fiscal 2025 buybacks reduced shares by 7.4% in Q4 and 4.6% for the full year, providing significant leverage for shareholders. Equity declined about 5.6%—a marginal drop given the impact of buybacks and the divestiture of Family Dollar.

Key details include a healthy cash position and low leverage. Net debt is less than 1X equity, which leaves the company well-positioned to continue executing its strategy. The company still has about $1.8 billion remaining under its current buyback authorization and recorded $193 million in quarter-to-date repurchases, keeping management on track to sustain an aggressive pace in fiscal 2026.

Dollar Tree Pulls Back on Cautious Guidance

Dollar Tree delivered a solid fourth quarter: revenue, excluding Family Dollar, rose 9% year over year. Growth was driven by store remodels, new store openings, and a 5% comparable-store increase—anchored by a 6.3% rise in average ticket despite a 1.2% decline in traffic. Both merchandise categories contributed, led by a 6.2% increase in discretionary items.

Margins also improved, aided in part by greater efficiency. Revenue per square foot increased for the seventh consecutive year, reflecting operational leverage from the turnaround efforts.

The company reported a 10.7% increase in adjusted operating income and a 21% jump in adjusted earnings—both outpacing revenue growth and more than 100 basis points ahead of MarketBeat's reported consensus.

Guidance, however, came in below consensus for both Q1 and the full year. Management appears intentionally cautious, which could set the stage for upside as the year progresses. Analysts may adopt a more bullish stance, potentially catalyzing a rebound as early as Q2 when Q1 results are released.

Wall Street Waits for Proof as Institutional Flows Cool

Analysts have adopted a moderated but still constructive posture. Initial commentaries expressed concerns about the cautious outlook while acknowledging the positive impacts of the turnaround. Consensus rates the stock a Moderate Buy with roughly 15% upside.

Institutional ownership remains high—institutions hold more than 97% of the shares and were net buyers over the trailing 12 months—but Q1 2026 data show distribution amid market headwinds, which adds short-term risk for investors.

Short Sellers Are a Headwind in 2026 for DLTR Shares

Short interest is another near-term concern. At just over 6%, short interest isn't extreme but is meaningful enough to cap the stock in the near term. Combined with institutional distribution, it may limit upside until later in the year. A pullback could test roughly $100 before finding a durable bottom.

Key catalysts include continued restructuring and remodeling, along with the shift to multi-price-point formats that resonate with consumers and provide a pathway to improved margins and cash flow. There is speculation management may authorize a small dividend later this year, which could broaden interest from institutional and buy-and-hold investors. Principal risks remain macroeconomic pressure on consumer demand and the costs associated with remodeling.

Initial price action after the release was encouraging despite the cautious guide: shares rose nearly 1% in premarket trading and found support near a key exponential moving average (EMA). The 150-week EMA, which reflects institutional and buy-and-hold activity, suggests a price floor around $107. It may take a quarter or two for the market to fully embrace the turnaround and for a sustained rebound to take hold.
