Further Reading from MarketBeat MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/30 - 04/03Reported by MarketBeat Staff. Publication Date: 4/4/2026. The more things change, the more they stay the same. For investors, the direction of stocks on any given day has continued to move inversely to the price of oil. Heading into a long weekend, stocks sank as oil hovered above $100 per barrel. That pattern will likely persist so long as the conflict in Iran threatens supply through the Strait of Hormuz. Markets will be closed Friday, April 3, but the March jobs report will still be released that day. It could set the tone for next week, when investors will get two important reads on inflation. All of that occurs before earnings season kicks off in mid-April. Positive earnings expectations could give investors a reason to look past elevated oil prices as we move deeper into the second quarter. We've found The Next Elon Musk… and what we believe to be the next Tesla. It's already racked up $26 billion in government contracts. Peter Thiel just bet $1 Billion on it. π Unlock the ticker now and get it completely free. 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 MarketBeat’s most popular. See which stocks Hughes lists as the top AI picks for April. Hughes also spotlighted The Metals Company Inc. (NASDAQ: TMC), which is leading a 21st-century "gold rush" for minerals found in deep-sea nodules as it seeks regulatory approval to mine them. See his take on this century’s mineral rush. McCormick & Co. (NYSE: MKC) reported earnings this week that pointed to consumers still trading down. Hughes dug into the results and suggests MKC stock may now offer deep value to investors. Articles by Sam Quirke The issues in the private credit market are real and persistent. Still, Sam Quirke noted that for a company 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) appears historically undervalued, and investors don’t seem willing to assign an AI premium. Quirke explains what analysts are 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 outlined 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 explains why buying quality stocks at depressed prices is often a winning strategy. Markoch highlighted three stocks under $20 that present compelling entry points. Despite a promising start, 2026 has been a rough year for Russell 2000 stocks. Markoch notes that if the market breaks higher, three Russell 2000 names could post 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 about rising fuel costs. Markoch explains how fuel costs can reverse as quickly as they rose, which is why some investors may view this dip as a buying opportunity. Articles by Ryan Hasson MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) presents a compelling buy-the-dip setup. Ryan Hasson noted MELI stock is down nearly 40% despite a recent revenue surge of about 45%—a disparity that keeps analysts largely 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 explained why this may be a pause before the next leg up and provided a key technical level to watch for confirmation. Hasson also highlighted five AI infrastructure stocks that will be essential to building the framework AI models require. It may not be too late to consider this trade. Articles by Leo Miller Like many consumer discretionary stocks, PDD (NASDAQ: PDD) is off to a rough start in 2026. Leo Miller argues the stock’s valuation may be overly pessimistic and could offer long-term value for risk-tolerant investors. Miller also covered USA Rare Earth Inc. (NASDAQ: USAR), a company trying to reposition the U.S. in the race for rare earth elements. While the bull case is clear, Miller cautions that execution matters more than hype at this stage. Cybersecurity stocks have also 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 stocks cover a wide range of companies with differing risk/reward profiles. This week, Nathan Reiff focused on three names in an often-overlooked corner of healthcare that offer defensive qualities and growth potential for 2026. The launch of Artemis 2, coupled with news that SpaceX filed a confidential IPO, has put space stocks in the spotlight. Reiff highlighted three satellite stocks with compelling business cases independent of any SpaceX IPO. The conflict with Iran may ease in the coming weeks, but that isn’t likely to diminish interest in defense stocks. This week, Reiff highlighted two actively managed defense ETFs that have relevance beyond current geopolitical events. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt notes that real estate investment trusts (REITs) have been a tough hold over the past five years, with most returns coming from dividends. He points to three oversold REITs whose fundamentals may make them worth buying. Higher gas prices are squeezing consumers, but there are beneficiaries. Schmidt highlights two warehouse-club stocks that can use discounted fuel prices as a membership benefit to drive store traffic and purchases. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Jeffrey Neal Johnson wrote about the recent gains in Unity Software Inc. (NYSE: U) after the company delivered better-than-expected earnings and unveiled a clearer business model that analysts are backing. Read more on why Unity appears to be resetting. Johnson also highlighted a notable shift in sentiment around Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR). Call-option activity, a merger announcement, and the rollout of new AI tools could contribute to a turnaround for the online learning company. Energy stocks remain the hot trade, but not all names are the same. Johnson makes the case for Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE: VLO), whose ability to generate cash from refining margins positions it well amid shifts in the global refining landscape. Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods The recent rally in Target Inc. (NYSE: TGT) may have been overdue, but Jennifer Ryan Woods notes the rally is losing steam, possibly reflecting lingering skepticism about the company’s turnaround strategy. Starwood Property Trust (NYSE: STWD) exemplifies the problems that have hit commercial real estate stocks, including dividend uncertainty. Woods analyzed the REIT’s recent report and highlighted three catalysts that could shift sentiment. Articles by Peter Frank Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST) posted a strong earnings report showing a reversal in revenue and profits, but Peter Frank notes investors remain cautious. The company touts an AI-native approach to lending, yet it remains sensitive to credit conditions and the broader economy. Read more on why the market is still divided. Frank also explained why Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF) has a lot to prove in 2026. After aggressive expansion in 2025, the company must show investors that its scale, scope, and efficiency gains can offset credit risks and competitive pressure. |
