 When Elon's SpaceX IPO officially hits — which could be just days from now — two things will happen. Elon's 40% stake will immediately earn him around $625 billion in new wealth. Then millions of small investors will buy SpaceX's stock, hoping to strike it rich. Unfortunately, many of them will be disappointed. Because the real money from this SpaceX IPO — the biggest gains — will be made before the stock even hits Wall Street. That's why I'm urging you to take advantage of this pre-IPO SpaceX play while you still can. Sincerely,
Tim Bohen
Special Report
MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/16 - 03/20Author: MarketBeat Staff. Originally Published: 3/21/2026. As spring arrives, investors hope the March madness in stocks will end. They may have to wait: this week all major indexes closed below their 200-day moving averages, a technical indicator that can signal growing bearish investor psychology. That sentiment is being reinforced by government data showing stubborn inflation, which will likely keep the Federal Reserve from cutting rates — and recent chatter even includes the possibility of a rate increase. Investors have often overlooked troublesome data, but what's different now is the added overlay of the conflict with Iran. Uncertainty about its duration and whether it will escalate will affect energy prices — a key barometer of consumer sentiment.
Expect more volatility, but there are opportunities amid the chaos. MarketBeat analysts can help you find them. Here are 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). The reports were similar: both posted positive current-quarter results but issued cautious guidance. Dollar Tree's catalysts come from restructuring and remodeling, while with Ollie’s the focus is expansion. Hughes lays out the fundamental and technical case for why each stock is compelling at its current price. 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 — a development that could produce significant upside if the company executes 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 view the post-earnings CapEx sell-off as overdone. Buy the rumor, sell the reality? That seems to be the case with PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL). The stock rallied sharply on takeover rumors and then pulled back just as quickly — a move Quirke says revives concerns about PayPal’s relevance in a crowded market. Quirke also covered the surge in Cloudflare Inc. (NYSE: NET) after news it might create a stablecoin. He explained why the rapid growth of agentic AI makes such a move logical, but cautioned that it’s likely some time away from becoming reality. Articles by Chris Markoch Investors love stock splits, even if partly for psychological reasons. After several high-profile splits in 2025, a few companies could be candidates to split their stock in 2026 based on price alone. This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three stocks to watch as potential split candidates: 3 stocks that could be next to announce a stock split. Congressional trading hasn’t been banned yet, so investors still pay attention to what lawmakers buy. Markoch pointed out five stocks that members of Congress have traded in the last 90 days. It’s not surprising to hear about another groundbreaking deal from Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). Still, the company’s recent partnership with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA)should not be quickly overlooked. Articles by Ryan Hasson When markets move lower, it can help to ride the hot hand. This week, Ryan Hasson spotlighted the three best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 so far in 2026 and explained why each may have more room to run. In broad market selloffs, even quality names can go on sale. Hasson pointed investors to five large-cap stocks that are oversold despite solid fundamentals — potential buys for patient investors. The downturn in tech has a lot to do with valuation and fears of unrealistic growth projections. But that’s not the case for the two technology stocks that are holding their own in a volatile market. Articles by Leo Miller The 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 stocks and outlined 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 flagged valuation considerations investors should weigh. What’s in a name? In the case of Everpure (NYSE: PSTG), it’s quite a lot. The company, formerly Pure Storage, rebranded to reflect a shift toward an intelligent data-management platform rather than just data storage. Miller noted that the post-earnings drop underscores what investors really care about. Articles by Nathan Reiff D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) remains an enticing name in quantum computing, but Nathan Reiff explained why IBM’s quantum research poses a challenge to D-Wave — not just technologically, but also from a balance-sheet perspective. There seems to be a new headline related to GLP-1 drugs every week, which can make investing more challenging than treating patients. This week Reiff highlighted three players in the GLP-1 space that investors should watch closely. Stocks and bonds often move inversely. The bond market may not be booming, but Reiff wrote about two active bond 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 used the charts to highlight technical indicators pointing to a bullish reversal in three well-known stocks. Much of the talk around the Strait of Hormuz focuses on oil, but Schmidt pointed out that the route is also a key artery for materials used to make fertilizer. That’s creating a supply-demand imbalance that could send three fertilizer stocks soaring. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Beyond oil and fertilizer, a closure of the Strait of Hormuz would also disrupt the supply chain for chemical stocks. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained the situation and why it’s bullish for two chemical stocks with attractive defensive qualities. The AI revolution is accelerating, and Johnson argued investors should look beyond chipmakers and data-center firms to consider retailers — many are using AI in their supply chains. He highlighted two top retail names to consider. Good enough hasn’t been good enough for many companies this earnings season, but a substantial beat still gets attention. That was the case with El Pollo Loco (NASDAQ: LOCO); Johnson highlighted its strong earnings report and why it’s well-positioned in the rapidly growing 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 — W stock climbed almost 500% on the way up. But what should investors do now that the stock is pulling back? Woods explained why analysts are parsing the company’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 rethink margin expectations. Woods analyzed both why the stock looks attractive and the reasons for concern in her recent piece. 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, but also highlighted potential headwinds if interest rates fall or trading activity slows. Like many financial-services companies, Stifel Financial (NYSE: SF) enjoyed a strong 2025. Frank cautioned that “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 belongs in your portfolio. |
