#5 - The Chef’s Warehouse (NASDAQ:CHEF)
The restaurant industry was one of the hardest-hit sectors during the pandemic. However, many of the traditional restaurant stocks have already bounced back to pre-pandemic levels. That makes me a little hesitant to call them “bellwether” stocks.
That’s why I’m looking at The Chef’s Warehouse (NASDAQ:CHEF). The company supplies restaurants with the equipment and ingredients they need to thrive. But it’s not just restaurants. The company supplies its products to menu-driven companies such as country clubs, hotels, and caterers. These were businesses that were largely dormant as gatherings were limited.
As these businesses continue to reopen with increasing capacity, I would look at CHEF stock to show growth. Granted, it’s up 238% in the last 12 months.
But that growth has slowed in the last month. That recent dip may be just what the stock needed. It was beginning to look very overvalued. The recent selloff is giving investors a more attractive price point. And the stock is still about 30% below its all-time high.
