An analysis article from Yahoo Finance points out that, against the backdrop of a potential market pullback, three US stocks—Walmart (WMT), McDonald's (MCD), and Gilead Sciences (GILD)—have demonstrated resilience during the past two significant market downturns (2008 and 2022), outperforming the S&P 500 index. The article suggests that these companies, due to the nature of their businesses, such as Walmart's everyday essential retail, McDonald's value dining, and Gilead Sciences' life-saving medicines, maintain stable demand even during times of economic uncertainty, making them potential safe-haven investment choices.
