Goldman Sachs Highlights Resilient Stocks Amid Trade War Concerns

As concerns about a potential global trade war escalate, Goldman Sachs has identified a list of stocks that have historically shown resilience during market volatility. The firm’s strategists anticipate increased market fluctuations, predicting a potential 6% decline in the S&P 500 over the next three months, followed by a rebound within a year.

Goldman Sachs recommends stocks with low sensitivity to market volatility, highlighting Amdocs (DOX) as a top pick due to its low exposure to U.S. economic growth prospects, trade risks, and AI market disruptions. Other notable mentions include Bank of New York Mellon (BK), Kroger (KR), Valvoline (VVV), S&P Global (SPGI), and Moody’s (MCO), which are less affected by daily market news.

Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) is also featured in their list, with the median total return of these 45 stocks reaching 1% this year, compared to a 5% decline in the S&P 500.

The healthcare sector is another highlight, with Boston Scientific (BSX), Medtronic (MDT), Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO), and Masimo (MASI) being seen as stable assets despite potential policy impacts. Utility companies like Pacific Gas and Electric (PCG) and CenterPoint Energy (CNP) are favored for their dividend payouts, appealing to conservative investors seeking stable returns.
