Top Consumer Stocks To Buy [Or Sell] In March

Consumer stocks have been picking up momentum in recent weeks. They continue to make headlines as they could be the biggest winner from President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. The much-needed stimulus could provide a huge boost to consumer spending and in turn top consumer stocks. Wall Street analysts seem to agree as they see certain consumer stocks getting a boost from consumers spending the $1,400 checks coming their way. Past research on how U.S. consumers spend their stimulus checks seems to suggest that the checks would be circulated back into the economy. In particular, households use their past stimulus checks mainly on living expenses such as food and household supplies, which are all part of the consumer sector.

For instance, food wholesaler United Natural Foods (NYSE: UNFI) jumped by over 20% since the start of the month after better-than-expected profits in its second-quarter financials. Talk of stimulus checks could have also pushed the stock higher. Another consumer stock that has also been in the news recently is AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE: AMC). AMC is one of the consumer stocks that retail traders have flocked to since the start of the year. As the prospect of the economy reopening in the months ahead, AMC stock has been up by over 300% year-to-date. Given all of this, will you consider buying these top consumer stocks?
