Looking For The Best Consumer Stocks To Buy This Week? 3 For Your List.

Consumer stocks have had a bumpy year in the stock market. The coronavirus pandemic had affected many industries. Despite being highly dependent on the economy, these stocks are a mixed bag. Some top consumer stocks showed resilience and have managed to weather through the COVID-19 pandemic rather smoothly. Some less fortunate consumer stocks, on the other hand, could be on the brink of bankruptcy.  Investors would need to discern a little to be able to pick the good from the bad.

However, things are starting to turn for the better in December. As Pfizer’s (PFE Stock Report) coronavirus vaccine will be distributed to the masses in the U.K., this is uplifting news for the world. We could finally be going back to how things were pre-pandemic.  Furthermore, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) looks set to authorize Pfizer’s vaccine for emergency use authorization in the U.S. this week. The FDA will also review Moderna’s (MRNA Stock Report) vaccine results next week. Will 2021 be the year the economy finally recovers?

Furthermore, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators will put forward legislation this week for an additional stimulus package worth around $908 billion. The stimulus will speed up aid to an economy that is at risk of a further dip due to a record spike in coronavirus cases. The proposal includes $288 billion in small business aid and $180 billion in unemployment benefits. This would very likely spur the economy and in turn, play in favor of top consumer stocks to buy. For instance, consumer stocks like Amazon (AMZN Stock Report) and Target (TGT Stock Report) have seen impressive growth this year and could further benefit from this stimulus. With that, here are 3 consumer stocks to watch this week.
