Weekly Market Recap – Week Ending April 10, 2026
U.S. equity markets continued to show constructive momentum this week, with broad-based gains across major ETFs led by strength in technology and industrial sectors. Growth-oriented funds such as the NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM) and Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK) posted solid advances, while the industrial sector also outperformed, reflecting improving investor sentiment toward cyclical exposure. However, energy stocks lagged notably, highlighting ongoing sector rotation within the market. On the stock-specific front, semiconductor and connectivity-related names have delivered exceptional 30-day performance, underscoring continued capital flows into high-growth technology segments as investors position for sustained demand in advanced computing and infrastructure.

In the below tables we use major ETF’s as a proxy for some major indexes as well as each of the sector groups into which we divide the overall markets. Tracking these over time provides a more defined picture of the US markets than simply tracking major indexes. This is followed by notable individual stock movers over the past month, and finally our full strategy outlook.

Strategy Note
The market shrugged off Mideast tensions this past week to focus on redeploying capital into a few newly affordable magnificent 7 and other tech stocks with sunny outlooks. This is something we addressed in our full blog with the quarterly review last Thursday. Visit BLOG.VALUENGINE.COM for that full post. In the glass-half-empty department, two prominent strategists are expecting spikes in price volatility this week.
We have a number of companies that have just been upgraded to a 4 rating (Buy). They include: hospitality giant Hilton (HLT); transmissions manufacturer Allison Transmission Holdings (ALSN); Charles River Labs (CRL), a supplier and facilitator to biotech and pharmaceutical companies, online lender Live Oak Bancshares (LOB), power systems provider Rogers Corp. (ROG), independent energy explorer SM Energy (SM) and Wells Fargo Corp (WFC). However, three of these companies, Allison, Hilton and Wells Fargo, are considered overvalued by our valuation model, making them riskier investments.
Investors who prefer looking at undervalued stocks with limited volatility but still rated to outperform have a few other options. These include: global aviation company AerCap Holdings (AER), Germany’s Deutsche Bank (DB), Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and Schwab (SCHW).
On the other end of the spectrum, here are a few companies that were downgraded to 2 (sell). Investors holding Blackline (BL) and Simply Good Foods (SMPL) may want to see if it’s time to consider lightening positions and even potentially eliminating them.
