The top line of consumer staple retailers will be largely unaffected by economic recessions.</i></p><p>Why Costco Provides Opportunities in Recessions:</p><p><b>Costco’s (NASDAQ:COST)</b>operations should be fairly resistant to the pressures of an economic recession, providing consumers with the necessities they need at wholesale pricing. This should be favorable to Costco as consumers become more price conscious as household budgets tighten. The business has remained favorable among investors over the recent market downturn, providing shareholders with +21.2% returns over the previous 12 months, compared to the -1.8% returns seen by the wider US Consumer Retailing industry.</p><p>The most recent example of a recession we can turn to was the COVID-19 recession where economies were plunged into economic turmoil owing to the precautionary measures taken to protect the population. During this period of tightening consumer spending, Costco remained largely unaffected.<img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/85bdac858367bea4382531a16b9b6218\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"560\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><h2>Raytheon Technologies - Government Contractor for Defense</h2><p><i>Thesis: Government expenditure on military is usually high and remains consistent during economic recessions. Companies with lucrative government contracts should out-perform the market due to relatively unchanged levels of customer expenditure.</i></p><p>Why Raytheon Provides Opportunities in Recessions:</p><p><b>Raytheon (NYSE:RTX)</b>is one of the largest aerospace and defense companies servicing the United States and other Governments across the globe. In a time characterized by tense geo-political relations, Raytheon&#39;s position within the market as a leader in the defense sector will help ensure ongoing resistance and consistent demand throughout market turmoil.</p><p>Givenglobal military spending has eclipsed US$2 trillionin real terms for the first time in history, countries will be hesitant to budge on defense expenditure even when pressure is placed on national budgets to ensure strategic advantage is not lost. This provides a large and growing addressable market for Raytheon&#39;s products.</p><p>Raytheon Missiles &amp; Defense, a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies, has continued to secure lucrative contract awards over the last few months which should provide revenue security into the near future. In the last 30 days alone, Raytheon has managed to secure aUS$867M Missile Defense Agency contract to deliver SM-3 Block IIAs to the United States and partnersand aUS$624M U.S. Army contract to produce 1,300 Stinger missiles.This should give investors some peace of mind that the business remains strong during in a tough economic climate.</p><p>One other important thing to note is that Raytheon has been continually paying a dividend to shareholders - a good sign of a mature and profitable business. With the currentdividend yield of 2.4%forecasted to grow into the future, shareholders will be appreciative of the guaranteed capital return when the market is providing little else in the way of certainties.</p><h2><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/96830cd3d9c65202d4a545e3743bf3de\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"508\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>NRG Energy - Electrical Utilities Provider</h2><p><i>Thesis: Much like consumer staples, electricity is a necessity for households regardless of the economic climate.

In fact, lockdown measures seemingly were a boon for the business, as earnings grew appreciably for the period.<img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60902b171c9323dccf7bf450bb68a318\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"560\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>In our analysis of NRG Energy&#39;s debts, we&#39;ve noted that the company&#39;s net debt to equity ratio is quite high. Rising interests pose a potential risk to the business, but how well can NRG Energy cover their liabilities?

Providers of funeral services and cemetery operators should not experience a noticeable change in overall demand for their offerings.</i></p><p>Why Service Corporation International Will Benefit:</p><p><b>Service Corp (NYSE:SCI)</b>is a leading provider of funeral, cremation and cemetery services throughout North America. The company is firmly the largest operator in the death-care industry, comprising of around 15% of the total market share by revenue across the United States and Canada.</p><p>Service Corp’s first quarter performance in 2022 has been robust, with the company growing its quarterly revenue to US$1.112B, up US$34M compared to this time last year. Importantly, Service Corp has experienced growth across its core revenue drivers, seeing average revenue per funeral service grow by 5%, pre-need funeral sales grow 17% and pre-need cemetery sales grow 11% since the first quarter of 2021.</p><p>Taking a step back and looking at Service Corp’s performance over the last 5 years yields positive results. The company’s annual earnings growth over the preceding 5 years of 14.8% outpaced both industry and market. This period does encapsulate the COVID-19 recession, however, the nature of the pandemic lead to a windfall as the increased mortality rates spurred growth for Service Corp in the face of difficult economic conditions.</p><p><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/61e6751e9d475da459882c4299c6a71a\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"560\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>It’s difficult to determine how the company will fair should a recession eventuate, but recent guidance from Service Corp expects that the remainder of the year will yield strong results, given the company raised the midpoint of its 2022 adjusted earnings guidance by 50 cents to $3.50 and the midpoint of its adjusted operating cash flow guidance by US$75M to US$775M. The company attributes this to more funeral services being performed and higher pre-need cemetery sales. It’s fair to say that the company expects to navigate the tightening economic conditions very well owing to continuous demand. If a recession occurs, revenue per funeral may decrease however this should be offset by the tailwinds of an ageing population and recent acquisitions bearing their fruit.</p><p>Despite the company’s strong guidance for the remainder of the year, our analysis on Service Corporation International’s ownership concludes that company insiders have only sold shares over the previous 3 months.

Slowing economic growth impacts businesses across the board and discovering investment opportunities becomes increasingly difficult - but not impossible. Businesses that provide households with the neccessities they need to survive, or businesses that operate in a segment with extremely inelastic demand offer the most resilience during recessions.</p><p>A recession may be on the horizon, but it&#39;s important to note that the macro-economic environment in which we find ourselves is quite different to previous recessions. Inflation is running hotter than it&#39;s been in the last 40 years and interest rates are on the rise to try and fight this. Investing in these times requires diligence and caution, but there are opportunities to be had.
