Do You Have These Top Leisure Stocks On Your Radar Now?
In good times and bad, the leisure industry remains a crucial and relevant sector of the stock market. After all, regardless of what is happening in the world, everyone has their own way of spending leisure time. Because of this, leisure stocks now cover a wide array of markets in the stock market today. These include the video streaming, marijuana, and social media industries to name a few. Notably, stay-at-home names such as these would be in an interesting position now. Some would argue that the alarming spread of Delta variant cases globally would see consumers turning to this part of the leisure industry again.
We could look at the likes of Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Curaleaf (OTCMKTS: CURLF) for instance. On one hand, Disney’s explosive entrance onto the video streaming market is a commendable one. Since launching in November 2019, the company’s Disney Plus platform now boasts over 115 million paying subscribers worldwide. On the other hand, Curaleaf continues to benefit from marijuana industry tailwinds. The company reported a 165% year-over-year surge in total revenue in its recent quarter fiscal posted earlier this month.
By and large, both DIS stock and CURLF stock are sitting on gains of over 103% since their pandemic lows. From marijuana stocks to streaming stocks and beyond, investors are spoilt for choices in the current market. With all that said, here are five leisure stocks worth noting now.
