This Month's Bonus Article
MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/30 - 04/03Written by MarketBeat Staff. Posted: 4/4/2026. The more things change, the more they stay the same: for investors, daily stock moves remain inversely correlated with oil prices. Heading into a long weekend, stocks sank as oil traded above $100 per barrel. That pattern is likely to persist as long as the conflict in Iran threatens supply through the Strait of Hormuz. Although markets will be closed Friday, April 3, the March jobs report will still be released that day. It could set the tone for next week, when investors will receive two important inflation readings. All of this precedes the new earnings season that begins in mid‑April. Positive earnings expectations could give investors reason to look past high oil prices as the second quarter progresses.
For a moment…
Forget about Trump’s ties to Israel.
Forget about reports of Iran’s nuclear program.
Because my research has led me to believe we’re risking World War 3 with Iran for a completely different reason. Click here to find out what it is.
Key Points
- Stocks were moving lower to end the week as oil prices climbed above $100 per barrel; it’s a pattern that has become familiar to investors.
- The March jobs report will still come out on Friday, despite the market being closed, and could set the tone for next week.
- We’re only a couple of weeks away from a new earnings season and expectations are positive.

Articles by Thomas Hughes Thomas Hughes’ piece on his five best monthly artificial intelligence (AI) stock picks has become one of the most popular for MarketBeat subscribers. See which stocks Hughes lists as the top AI picks for April. Hughes also highlighted The Metals Company Inc. (NASDAQ: TMC), which is leading efforts in this century’s mineral rush—focused on deep‑sea nodules for which the company seeks regulatory approval to mine. McCormick & Co. (NYSE: MKC) reported earnings this week that point to a consumer still trading down. Hughes looked through the results and suggested that MKC stock may now offer deep value for investors. Articles by Sam Quirke Issues in the private credit market are real and persistent, but Sam Quirke noted that for a firm like Blue Owl Capital (NYSE: OWL), the sell‑off may be overdone. OWL stock is down 65% and could offer value and growth for risk‑tolerant investors. HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) remains historically undervalued, and investors aren’t yet willing to price in an AI premium. Quirke explained analysts’ thinking and why the company’s June earnings report could be either a catalyst or an additional headwind. Oracle Corp. (NYSE: ORCL) was an early hyperscaler to face a sharp sell‑off amid AI bubble fears. This week, Quirke laid out why the bears have a case, but also why analyst sentiment suggests the 60% drop in ORCL stock may be a reset rather than a breakdown. Articles by Chris Markoch Now may not be the time for reckless speculation, but Chris Markoch explained why buying quality stocks at depressed prices is often a winning formula. Markoch highlighted three stocks under $20 that present compelling entry points. Despite a promising start, 2026 has been rough for Russell 2000 names. As Markoch noted, should the market surge, three Russell 2000 stocks could see the biggest gains. Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) delivered a strong earnings report and bullish guidance for 2026 bookings, yet CCL stock sold off on concerns over rising fuel costs. Markoch explained how fuel costs can reverse quickly, which is why investors may want to buy this dip. Articles by Ryan Hasson MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) presents a compelling buy‑the‑dip setup. Hasson noted MELI is down nearly 40% despite reporting about a 45% revenue surge — a disparity that keeps analysts broadly bullish even as the company navigates growing pains. Is it time to give up on Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL)? The stock recently fell more than 9%, but Hasson argued this could be a pause before the next leg up, and he provided a key technical level to watch for confirmation. Hasson also highlighted five AI infrastructure stocks that will be essential to building the frameworks AI models require — and argued it’s not too late to consider the trade. Articles by Leo Miller Like many consumer discretionary stocks, PDD (NASDAQ: PDD) is off to a rough start in 2026. Miller explained why the stock’s valuation may be overly pessimistic and could offer long‑term value for risk‑tolerant investors. Miller also examined USA Rare Earth Inc. (NASDAQ: USAR), which is trying to reposition the U.S. in the race for rare earth elements. The bull case is clear, but as Miller noted, the company is at a point where execution matters more than hype. Cybersecurity stocks have been hit by AI fears. Miller highlighted three cybersecurity companies where insiders made significant trades, and discussed how investors should interpret those moves. Articles by Nathan Reiff Healthcare covers a broad set of companies with varied risk/reward profiles. Nathan Reiff focused on three stocks in an often‑overlooked healthcare corner that offer defensive qualities and potential growth in 2026. The launch of Artemis 2 and news that SpaceX has filed a confidential IPO prospectus have put space back in the spotlight. Reiff highlighted three satellite stocks with solid business cases independent of a SpaceX IPO. Even if the conflict with Iran eases, interest in defense stocks is unlikely to fade. This week Reiff pointed to two actively managed defense ETFs that are relevant beyond current geopolitical events. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt noted REITs have been a tough hold over the past five years because growth largely came from dividends. He identified three REITs flashing oversold signals that still have fundamentals worth considering. Higher gas prices are hurting consumers, but they may benefit certain retailers. Schmidt pointed to two warehouse club stocks that use discounted gas as a membership perk, which can drive foot traffic and in‑store purchases. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Jeffrey Neal Johnson wrote about recent gains in Unity Software Inc. (NYSE: U). The company beat earnings expectations and unveiled a clearer business model that analysts are backing, which Johnson detailed in his article. Johnson also highlighted a shift in sentiment around Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR). Despite concerns that AI could reduce the company’s relevance, a surge in call options, a merger announcement, and new AI tools could spark a turnaround, as he explored in his analysis. Energy stocks are the hot trade, but not all names are the same. Johnson made the case for Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE: VLO), whose ability to generate cash from refining margins positions it well amid a potential shift in the global refining industry. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods The recent rally in Target Inc. (NYSE: TGT) may have been overdue, but Jennifer Ryan Woods noted the rally appears to be losing steam, possibly reflecting lingering skepticism about the company’s turnaround plan. Starwood Property Trust (NYSE: STWD) exemplifies the issues plaguing commercial real estate stocks, including dividend uncertainty. Woods reviewed the REIT’s recent earnings and highlighted three catalysts that could change sentiment. Articles by Peter Frank Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST) reported a strong quarter with a reversal in revenue and profits, yet investors have been cautious. Peter Frank explained why the market has hesitated to reward the results, despite the company’s AI‑native lending approach and exposure to credit conditions. Frank also discussed why Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF) has a lot to prove in 2026. The bank expanded aggressively in 2025 and now must demonstrate that its scale, scope, and efficiency gains can offset credit risks and competitive pressures. |
