The stocks of companies, which could benefit from economic difficulty and God forbid war are the equities of commodities companies like oil and gas producers, base metals miners and ultimately also precious metals miners.
The stocks of healthcare companies also would most probably hold their value in precarious times like now.
Consumer staples sector stocks are another candidate that could see their value hold in war times.
Industrial companies could see production increases because their plants could quickly be redesigned to produce war machinery and ammunition.
An unlikely beneficiary are tobacco, cigarettes manufacturing companies, because in times of stress people do tend to smoke more.
Naturally, the stocks of defence companies should see their prices outperform the general market.
A list of stocks that could see their value outperform the general market, according to my opinion follows:
British Petroleum, Altria Group, Pfizer, Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell, Walmart, Costco, General Electric, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Eli Lilly, Moderna, Philip Morris, Vale, SID, Novartis, Volkswagen, BMW, Merck.
