Are These Cyclical Stocks The Best Stocks To Buy Today?
Cyclical stocks could be making a strong comeback in the stock market in the months ahead. This is evident as investors are now rushing into the sector. Cyclical stocks are usually more economically sensitive after all. The sector’s underlying business generally follows the economic cycle of expansion and recession. Retail, entertainment, industrials, and hotels are some examples that usually fall into this category of stocks. As U.S. vaccinations continue moving at an unprecedented speed, averaging over 3 million vaccine doses a day, cyclical stocks could be a strong bet as economies reopen.
As consumers and investors eagerly wait for a reopened country and economy, we can see how some cyclical stocks have already been building momentum. For instance, Boeing (NYSE: BA) has already seen gains of over 25% year-to-date. Major airlines Delta Air (NYSE: DAL) has also seen gains of over 30% year-to-date. These stocks were among the hardest hit last year when the pandemic first struck. Today, however, tells a different story. With that in mind, here is a list of top cyclical stocks to consider adding to your portfolio ahead of the country’s reopening.
