5 Hot Reopening Stocks To Keep An Eye On Now
While the stock market today soars on positive job market news, reopening stocks could be in focus. For the most part, this would be thanks to consumers possibly having more spending power in an already consumer-focused market. Without getting ahead of ourselves, let’s look at the core figures in the October nonfarm payroll figures. Impressively, U.S. employers added a whopping 531,000 new non-farm payrolls back to the economy throughout the month. When you compare this to estimates of 450,000, the current momentum in stocks is understandable.
All in all, we seem to be looking at an improving job market alongside rising consumer demand and spending power. Not to mention, there is also news of Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE) latest antiviral COVID pill possibly reducing hospitalization or death by 89% in high-risk adults. As such, the case for reopening stocks continues to grow all the more. Likewise, companies in this space such as Uber (NYSE: UBER) and Lions Gate Entertainment (NYSE: LGF.A) remain hard at work. In short, Uber reported its first profitable quarter yesterday while Lions Gate is looking to refine its operations with a potential spin-off. With all the activity in the reopening trade now, could these reopening stocks be worth watching in the stock market now?
