#7 - Exelon (NASDAQ:EXC)
Another one of our recession-proof stocks on our list is from the energy sector. And that’s a good reason to look at Exelon (NASDAQ: EXC), the largest utility company in the United States. People will still need to cool and heat their homes and Exelon has a geographic reach that includes over 10 million customers.
However, another reason to believe in Exelon is that the company is truly a play in the “all of the above” approach to energy production. The company owns nuclear, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and solar generating facilities.
EXC stock is up 38% in the trailing twelve months ending July 7, 2022. And the company recently received a buy recommendation from Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) who gave the stock a $54 price target while saying, “We still see the core Exelon regulated utilities as attractively valued and defensively positioned. Exelon increasingly represents a defensive utility at a reasonable valuation.”
