It’s happening right now…
A turning point that the former CEO of Google says is:
“The most important thing that’s going to happen in about 500 years – maybe 1,000 years of human society – and it’s happening in our lifetime.”
Yet very few are fully warning you of what’s coming.
Instead you’re kept distracted by the inane trivialities of “bread and circuses” while the very fabric of our lives erodes beneath our feet.
As one former U.S. Treasury Secretary says:
“When your great-grandchild writes the history of this period, my guess is that stuff about Donald Trump and Xi will be the second or third story.”
The first story they write about?
You and I have never seen anything like it before…
The dot-com collapse, global financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic… nothing we’ve seen in our lifetime holds a candle to what’s coming next.
In short, I believe we are about to be plunged into a period of dramatic, almost unimaginable change.
And you need to be ready, or risk being left behind.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 02/02 - 02/06
Author: MarketBeat Staff. Article Posted: 2/7/2026.
Stocks rallied to close another volatile week as investors bought the dip in technology stocks. Early in the week the entire tech sector sold off indiscriminately amid concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) spending and its impact on software. As the dust settled, buyers re-entered the market and found value in several oversold names.
But this is more than a technology story. Industrials and finance stocks continued to attract attention, as did a number of high-quality dividend payers.
We’re now in the heart of earnings season. As of Jan. 30, 33% of S&P 500 companies had reported and 75% beat earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates. While that's slightly below the five-year average of 78%, reported earnings were 9.1% above estimates versus the five-year average of 7.7%.

Articles by Thomas Hughes
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) is an example of a name where good results weren’t enough. AMD stock fell after a solid report because lighter-than-expected guidance raised questions about valuation. Thomas Hughes explained the fundamental and technical reasons this could be a buying opportunity bulls have been waiting for.
Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE: TSN) is another stock on the rise after better-than-expected earnings. Hughes noted that the combination of anticipated stock-price growth and a solid dividend could drive the stock to higher highs.
Hughes also recapped Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC), which delivered a strong downstream report that confirmed its solid positioning amid expectations for a bullish oil and gas market.
Articles by Sam Quirke
Qualcomm Corp. (NASDAQ: QCOM) gave up two years' worth of gains after its quarterly release. Sam Quirke explained why long-term investors have reasons to be cautious, while traders may find a short-term opportunity.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) climbed to a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio above 400x. Quirke gave two reasons bulls may want to chase and one reason to exercise caution.
Sandisk Corp. (NASDAQ: SNDK) continues to perform well, though new growth is likely to bring increased volatility. Quirke broke down the company’s earnings and offered suggestions for trading SNDK stock in February.
Articles by Chris Markoch
Cybersecurity names weren’t immune to the tech washout. Chris Markoch explained why a bullish upgrade to Fortinet Inc. (NASDAQ: FTNT) may set a floor for CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD), which has continued to slide in 2026.
Markoch also highlighted the strong performance from Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). Its report reinforced the company’s growing commercial business and supported its long-term growth story.
The nomination of Kevin Warsh for Federal Reserve chair has added predictability to the path of rate cuts. With that in mind, Markoch pointed to two REITs well-positioned for a stable-rate environment.
Articles by Ryan Hasson
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) reported results that followed the familiar hyperscaler pattern: strong growth paired with heavy capital spending on AI infrastructure. As Ryan Hasson noted, that combination pressured GOOGL stock as investors weighed the long-term return on AI investment.
Hasson also used MarketBeat’s MarketRank™ tool to highlight stocks backed by strong analyst and institutional support. The list features companies with fundamentals that can help investors navigate this volatile market.
Articles by Leo Miller
Defense stocks were among 2025’s top performers. Leo Miller reviewed three defense firms that recently reported and explained why the outlook for the sector remains strong.
Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) is a stock investors love to debate. It was down roughly 50% from its July 2025 high before earnings, but Miller explained why the recent move higher may signal a potential recovery.
Miller also analyzed PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP). The stock has climbed after an activist investor took a large position, and Miller argued the earnings report may give investors a more organic reason to buy PEP.
Articles by Nathan Reiff
Momentum traders should read Nathan Reiff’s piece on three momentum stocks that outperformed the S&P 500 in January and still have room to run. Each has returned at least 56% year-to-date.
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) received a boost in the form of two multi-million-dollar deals. Reiff explained the nature of those deals and why investors remain skeptical about turning one-off contracts into sustained profitability.
Gold has experienced a sharp sell-off, but Reiff noted the metal’s outlook remains constructive. He highlighted three mining companies with strong fundamentals and catalysts that support a bullish case.
Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson
Unity Software (NYSE: U) is down about 25% amid worries that AI could erode the company’s “complexity advantage.” Jeffrey Neal Johnson offered two reasons why it may not be game over for U stock.
Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ: ONDS) rallied more than 400% in 2025. Johnson explained how that shift from speculative research company to a defense contractor with improving fundamentals could support further stock-price gains.
One area of tech that has weathered the washout is companies supplying the memory AI requires. Johnson highlighted two winners positioned to capitalize on the memory supercycle.
Articles by Jordan Chussler
Jordan Chussler began the week by reviewing earnings from the Magnificent Seven. He helped investors look past price action to the fundamentals that anchored those reports.
Ahead of retail earnings later this month, Chussler analyzed two retailers that have installed new CEOs and what that could mean for upcoming results.
The space race is heating up, and a SpaceX IPO in 2026 has investors excited. Chussler explained why investors may want to track AST SpaceMobile Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS), a rival that is already producing strong revenue and has caught Wall Street's attention.
