Breakfast News: Stocks That Let You Sleep at Night
Motley Fool analysts share four steady stocks to hold through a market slump.
For those who prefer a stable investment portfolio, certain stocks offer peace of mind when the market falls. Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST -1.13%) is one such stock, with its membership model and low prices helping it maintain a 90% membership renewal rate. This consistent revenue stream drives high margins and profitability.
Meanwhile, real estate investment trust Realty Income (O -0.77%) has a track record of 116 consecutive dividend increases, making it a reliable choice for long-term growth. Mastercard (MA -0.49%) is another safe investment, as its global payment network fuels growth in transactions, cards, and cash-to-digital conversion. Lastly, healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +1.43%) remains a dependable choice, with its consistent dividend payouts and focus on essential medical products.
These stocks may not be the highest performers, but they provide stability and peace of mind in any market environment.
