President Trump recently announced that the federal government will not be extending its emergency social distancing guidelines. And here in Maryland, the economic reopening process is expected to start in the next couple of weeks.
But now that I’ve given you the good news, it’s time for the bad news:
Life is unlikely to return to 100% normalcy after the current COVID-19 pandemic is contained.
After all, we’re still more than a year away from a vaccine. And National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony Fauci expects the virus to make a resurgence next fall or winter — likely before that vaccine is ready.
In other words, some of the drastic containment measures we’ve seen — such as widespread telework, a shift toward food delivery, and the abandonment of cash in favor of contactless payments — are likely to persist long-term. This “new normal” will take some getting used to, but it could be lucrative for investors in certain companies that benefit from these measures.
Today, we’re looking at three stocks that are likely to enjoy strong tailwinds in the coming months as we adjust to the new normal after COVID-19.
