Our transportation portfolio of 10 stocks shows an average return of 30% in the last five trading days (as of market close, March 27th) compared with a 13% return in Dow during the same period. However, the recent rally has only made up for a part of the value these stocks have lost since the beginning of the year, as they remain, on average, 46% below the figure they were at the beginning of the year. This portfolio reflects one set of possible stocks expected to outperform if there’s a reasonably quick Coronavirus-recovery.
