MarketBeat Week in Review – 04/20 - 04/24Written by Chris Markoch. Article Posted: 4/25/2026. 
Key Points
- The ceasefire was a catalyst, but earnings are still the signal as stocks moved higher, led by the Russell 2000.
- Volatile oil prices are a reminder that inflation will remain a front burner issue.
- Earnings season shifts into high gear with many of the mega-cap technology stocks reporting next week.
- Special Report: Elon Musk’s $1 Quadrillion AI IPO
Stocks had a strong week, led by the Russell 2000, buoyed by an extension of the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran and hopes for further negotiations—perhaps as early as this weekend. Investors have reasons to look past the conflict: earnings are the signal, and earnings season is off to a bullish start. However, volatile oil prices are a reminder that many parts of the economy are interconnected in ways an earnings report can’t fully capture. Inflation will remain a front-burner issue, even if it appears to be abating, and any escalation of hostilities would be a headwind for stocks.
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 July 1 that could bring this historic discovery into public view. See the full details on this $2 gold stock before July 1
Next week, earnings season kicks into high gear, including reports from several of the largest technology stocks. MarketBeat analysts will stay on top of those reports and other news to help identify opportunities. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. Articles by Thomas Hughes This week, Thomas Hughes analyzed three stocks with distinct growth stories. The case for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) is straightforward: the stock price has been moving higher ahead of earnings, and analysts' estimates have risen. There are risks, but unless they appear in the earnings report, this could be the beginning of a stronger move. The case for 3M (NYSE: MMM) is more nuanced. The company delivered a solid quarter, but tepid guidance is limiting institutional support. Hughes explained why the chart suggests the downside is mostly priced in. Credo Technologies (NASDAQ: CRDO) is a chip stock and one of the stronger performers that many investors may not know. Hughes detailed why CRDO appears to be in the early stages of a cycle that will offer investors multiple opportunities to buy and take profits. Articles by Sam Quirke Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) reported earnings this week. Sam Quirke noted that investors are increasingly accepting the company’s “more than a car company” narrative. The key question now is how much the pivot will cost. Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) continues to show it benefits from demand in the artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem. However, Quirke observed that after a strong pre-earnings run, INTC may need to take a breather to provide a better entry point for investors. Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is another stock that has made a strong pre-earnings move. That doesn’t make the upcoming report a make-or-break moment, but Quirke pointed out what investors will need to hear to keep the stock running higher. Articles by Chris Markoch GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) posted stellar earnings this week. Chris Markoch explained why the company plays a key role in the data center buildout, a trend likely to support higher share prices despite valuation concerns. Two of the country’s largest steel producers reported earnings this week. In a market with steel tariffs, that might have been uniformly bullish, but Markoch explained why one steelmaker is thriving while the other is still struggling. Many investors see the upside for SpaceX but want to avoid IPO volatility. Markoch highlighted three space stocks that could serve as proxies for SpaceX and potentially ride the IPO wave. Articles by Ryan Hasson Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) was a small-cap stock two years ago but has grown into a large-cap AI powerhouse. Ryan Hasson outlined the catalysts behind the move and why investors must decide how much upside remains. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has become a clear leader in AI infrastructure. Hasson detailed recent developments that show the company continues to give investors reason to pay attention. Space stocks remain a hot sector, but Hasson explained how Blue Origin’s high-profile mishap put the sector’s bottleneck in focus. He identified three space stocks that can potentially turn that obstacle into a catalyst. Articles by Leo Miller Score one for the “AI is a bubble” crowd. Allbirds (NASDAQ: BIRD) stock jumped more than 500% after the shoe company abandoned its traditional business model and pivoted toward an AI infrastructure play. For investors considering this meme stock, Leo Miller explained why the company’s new direction raises more questions than answers in the near term (read more). On the other side of the AI gamble is Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR). Once a small-cap in the chip-testing niche, Aehr has been landing new contracts. Miller covered the orders that keep coming in and why Aehr may still have room to run despite a $60 million equity issuance. Vertiv Holdings (NYSE: VRT) is one of the hottest—and most essential—AI infrastructure stocks. The company’s equipment powers and cools data centers. Miller recapped Vertiv’s strong earnings and explained why VRT is likely to grind higher. Articles by Nathan Reiff Quantum stocks got a bump from National Quantum Day on April 14. For now, hype still outpaces tangible progress. Nathan Reiff highlighted three new quantum companies and evaluated whether they could threaten D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), which holds a real but fragile leadership position. The SpaceX IPO may be too rich and risky for many investors. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could offer a safer way to participate. Reiff highlighted three space-themed ETFs that provide broad exposure to the emerging space economy. If recent data point to a trend, higher factory output could presage a rally in infrastructure stocks. Reiff identified three manufacturing companies investors should keep on their watchlist for a potential manufacturing rally. Articles by Dan Schmidt The Russell 2000 led stocks higher this week. Dan Schmidt offered risk-tolerant investors three small-cap semiconductor stocks that remain under the radar but could deliver significant upside. Many analysts suggest it may be time to look at international markets. This week’s spike in the European technology index underscored that view. Schmidt argued it’s not too late to get involved and highlighted three undervalued European tech stocks to consider. Bitcoin’s recent move to hold $75,000 may be underappreciated. Schmidt pointed to two crypto stocks for investors seeking crypto exposure through a traditional brokerage account. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Cannabis stocks returned to the headlines this week amid policy moves. Jeffrey Neal Johnson wrote two pieces explaining the Trump administration’s executive orders to fast-track research into psychedelic drugs and the decision to reclassify state-licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III (read more). Johnson also highlighted a bullish earnings report from Valmont Industries (NYSE: VMI). The company's infrastructure business is central to the AI infrastructure buildout, but Johnson noted the primary driver may be its agricultural business. The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) sector continues progressing toward commercial reality. Johnson reviewed three major players and their distinct business models, highlighting which strategies might prevail. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods It’s been mostly smooth sailing for the cruise industry, but some companies still face headwinds. Jennifer Ryan Woods explained why analysts see more long-term upside for three cruise-line stocks—each on a different short-term trajectory—leaving one name standing above the rest. Harley-Davidson Inc. (NYSE: HOG) has rallied impressively after a major sell-off. With earnings due in early May, Woods outlined the factors weighing on the company's business model and why analysts want evidence the turnaround is gaining traction. Articles by Peter Frank The fintech sector is often associated with speculative names, but Peter Frank made the case for Jack Henry & Associates (NASDAQ: JKHY), which stands out as a quiet leader with a network of 7,400 community banks and credit unions. Also in fintech, Frank looked at Toast Inc. (NYSE: TOST), the point-of-sale provider for many restaurants. He noted that while Toast finally reported a profit, it still faces a core risk that may keep investors cautious. |
