Three Stocks to Watch for the Week of March 5th

Stocks finished higher last week, with the three major indexes posting weekly gains of around 2% to 3%, rebounding from declines of roughly 3% the previous week. After a solid start to the year, volatility seems to have returned to the market. Despite moving higher last week, the S&P 500’s year-to-date return has gone from 9.0% earlier in the year to around 4.5% now, about a 5% correction from recent highs.

Next week, the US labor market will be in the spotlight with the latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) report scheduled for Wednesday, along with ADP’s National Employment Report tracking private sector payrolls. February’s nonfarm payrolls report, slated for release on Friday, will likely be the week’s most closely watched economic report. The release follows a report that showed that the US economy generated 517,000 new jobs in January—far more than expected and the most since last July. The unemployment rate also slipped to 3.4%, the lowest since 1969.

Concerns about inflation and further interest-rate hikes will likely continue to impact investor sentiment in the coming weeks. The first stock recommendation on our list is a recession-resistant name currently trading at a discount compared to peers, but it may not be much longer.
