Overall, consumer stocks are benefitting from the gradual reopening of the economy and rising consumer spending. This is evident in Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF’s (VCR) 22.3% returns versus SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF’s (SPY) 19% gains over the past nine months.
Given this backdrop, we think the stocks of McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD), Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY) and American Eagle Outfitters , Inc. (NYSE:AEO) are well positioned to benefit in the coming months.
