5 Top Growth Stocks Rallying More than 25% in "Lockdown April"
Wall Street is witnessing an impressive rally since Mar 23, when the three major stock indexes touched the lowest level after entering the bear territory on Mar 11. An unprecedented amount of stimulus package injected by the United States and several other countries boosted investor sentiment to a large extent.
Moreover, several U.S. states are considering opening the economy restricting lockdown measures. Major Eurozone countries are also preparing to return to economic normalcy as the coronavirus pandemic stabilizes.
Possibility of Reopening Economy
Several states in the country are considering plans to reopen the economy systematically. States like Alaska, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas have already started allowing restaurants, salons, spas and barbershops to serve customers. Mike DeWine, governor of Ohio, has set May 12 as the date for retail stores and other service industries to reopen. Andrew Cuomo, governor of coronavirus hotspot New York, said that the economy will be opened in phases.
In Europe, Spain has allowed its citizens to leave their homes for short walks and exercise from May 2. Belgium and Italy will ease restrictions from May 4. In France, the government prepared to ease economic shutdown from May 11. In Asia, India permitted manufacturing and farming to resume in rural areas last week.
Wall Street Witnessing Impressive Rally
So far in April, the three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — rallied 10%, 10.8% and 11.8%, respectively. An unprecedented $8 trillion fiscal and monetary stimulus has been injected by the U.S. government and the Fed to fight the coronavirus-led economic disaster. Several Eurozone countries, Japan and the leading emerging market economies have also provided $7-8 trillion of global stimulus.
However, despite the impressive month-to-date performance, the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite are still 18.5%, 15.6% and 12.5% away from their respective all-time highs registered in mid-February.
Meanwhile, a handful of growth stocks have skyrocketed in April rallying more than 25% defying the partial lockdown in the United States. Notably, growth stocks are associated with aggressive earnings or revenue improvements, which should propel their prices higher in the future.
