MarketBeat Week in Review – 11/03 - 11/07Written by MarketBeat Staff. Published 11/8/2025.
Stocks sold off this week, with the tech-heavy NASDAQ set for the sharpest decline of about 5.4%. Several factors are behind the drop. First, valuation concerns have surfaced as investors wait to see when the payoff from artificial intelligence will materialize.
There’s also the continuing government shutdown, which is starting to affect the broader economy — most notably the airline sector. Additionally, in the absence of government data, investors received layoff news from Challenger & Christmas, suggesting the labor market may be weaker than expected.
All of this is occurring at a time when stocks looked overvalued, so this may be a healthy pullback. That doesn’t make it comfortable, especially if the sell-off accelerates. MarketBeat analysts can help you make sense of what’s happening and where opportunities exist. Here are some of our most popular stories from this week.
