5 Top Stocks to Buy as Industrial Output Continues to Expand
The U.S. economy is making a steady recovery and signs are that things will be back on track soon given the pace of vaccination. This has seen manufacturing activity and industrial production growing at a decent pace.
In fact, industrial production increased in April after taking a battering last year. Although the growth was modest compared to March, the pace has been steady and the momentum is likely to continue in the coming months too as the economy reopens further.
Industrial Production Rises
The Federal Reserve said on May 14 that industrial production increased 0.7% in April. Industrial production includes output at factories, mines and utilities. The gains were modest compared to a 2.4% rise in March but the sector is set to perform well in the coming months too.
Manufacturing output increased 0.4%in April. Manufacturing accounts for 11.9% of the total U.S. economy and is gaining strength because of the massive fiscal stimulus that has been pumped in. Moreover, people's demand has shifted to goods from services because of the coronavirus pandemic, which is further aiding the sector.
Utility production climbed 2.6% after declining sharply in March. Production at mines also rose 0.7% in April.
Economy Recovering Faster Than Expected
The U.S. economy is expanding at a fast pace and people are more confident as states have started relaxing restrictions. Also, the vaccination drive has gathered steam and mask restrictions are being relaxed.
The economy grew a robust 6.4% in the first quarter, which proves its underlying strength. Moreover, economists expect economic expansion at a double-digit pace in the second quarter, which is likely to be driven by strong industrial and manufacturing output.
Also, the Institute of Supply Management said earlier this month that manufacturing activity jumped to a reading of 60.7%. Although growth came in lower than expectations, and below the 37-year high achieved in March, manufacturing activity has now increased for the 11th consecutive month.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research SherazMian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
You know this company from its past glory days, but few would expect that it's poised for a monster turnaround. Fresh from a successful repositioning and flush with A-list celeb endorsements, it could rival or surpass other recent Zacks' Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in a little more than 9 months and Nvidia which boomed +175.9% in one year.
