7 Stocks That Can Withstand a Taper Tantrum - 3 of 7

 
 

#3 - Best Buy (NYSE:BBY)

Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) is another of the “cash cows” you can consider to offset a tapering announcement from the Federal Reserve. The company’s ROE as of May 21, 2021 is a healthy 53.8%. But Best Buy has a strong story to back up its balance sheet.

Best Buy was a strong, if not surprising, pandemic winner as many Americans needed to upgrade their technology to fit their work-from-home lifestyle. This demonstrated to investors that Best Buy was successfully executing its digital and omnichannel strategy. And although 2021 is shaping up to be slightly weaker, the company raised its outlook for comparable sales to decline in the range of 0% to 3% from previous guidance that called for a full-year decline in the high single-digits.

But the good news for investors is that this is not fully baked into the BBY stock price which is only up 18% for the year. And analysts suggest that the stock has another 8% to go with 75% of analysts saying that the stock is set to outperform.

Rare "crisis signal" triggers for third time in U.S. market (Ad)

Today, according to one of America's leading experts (who has predicted nearly every financial crisis of the last 25 years), what's coming next could soon crash the market by 50% or more, and keep it down for 10, 20, or even 30 years.
