Some stocks even performed much worse than the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> while others proved to be resilient during this stretch.</p><p>Below, I&#39;ll look at a couple of stocks that outperformed the market and a couple that crashed. Are any of them safe options to invest in right now, with a possible recession looming later this year?</p><h2>Walmart -- up by 10%</h2><p><strong>Walmart</strong> performed the best of the stocks on this list during the Great Recession as its share price was up around 10% during that time frame. Despite the downturn in the economy, the business showed solid growth.</p><p>For its fiscal year that ended on Jan. 31, 2009, Walmart&#39;s sales totaled $401 billion and rose an impressive 7.2%. There were increases in Sam&#39;s Club, its international segment, and Walmart U.S. The company was coming off a record-setting performance in the quarter as its operations were proving to be resilient.</p><p>Fast forward to today, and the business remains solid. In its most recent fiscal year (ended Jan. 31, 2023), sales of $611.3 billion were up 6.7%. If you exclude divestitures, the growth rate would be up around 7.4%.</p><p>Walmart has been a steadily growing business over the years and could continue to be a relatively safe place to invest your money if the economy falls into another recession.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBA\">Walgreens Boots Alliance</a> -- down by 25%</h2><p>Retail pharmacy <strong>Walgreens Boots Alliance</strong> can provide a relatively stable investment during a downturn because consumers rely on its stores day in and day out. Whether it&#39;s to buy pharmaceuticals or day-to-day essentials, the company&#39;s stores are conveniently located within five miles of most of the U.S. population. During the early stages of the pandemic, it was also an easy place to obtain a vaccine.</p><p>During the Great Recession, the stock&#39;s losses were around 25%. While that&#39;s not great, it&#39;s still better than the S&amp;P 500&#39;s losses of close to 40%.</p><p>For the year ended Aug. 31, 2009, the company reported record revenue of $63.3 billion, which grew at a rate of 7.3% from the previous year. Prescription sales were a big part of that result, rising by 9% for the final quarter of the year and accounting for two-thirds of the company&#39;s top line.</p><p>Since then, however, the business has changed as Walgreens acquired European pharmacy chain Alliance Boots and more recently has been pivoting to healthcare. The latter move makes it a particularly riskier business to invest in as Walgreens is devoting more cash and resources to expansion.</p><p>While the healthcare stock outperformed the market during the Great Recession, there&#39;s no guarantee it will be able to do so if there&#39;s another recession in the near future.</p><h2>Williams-Sonoma -- down by 60%</h2><p>Specialty retailer <strong>Williams-Sonoma</strong> is susceptible to downturns in the economy as its business success is more dependent on discretionary spending. While Walmart and Walgreens may provide consumers with essentials, those same consumers aren&#39;t as likely to spend money on high-quality products at Pottery Barn in tougher times.</p><p>In the fiscal year ended Feb. 1, 2009, amid the recession, the company&#39;s net revenue of $3.4 billion was down 15% from the previous year. And even a year later, sales would fall another 8% to just over $3.1 billion.</p><p>During challenging economic periods, Williams-Sonoma can be a risky stock to hold. In the long run, however, given the stock&#39;s low valuation, it could result in good profits if you&#39;re willing to buy and hold.</p><h2>Nvidia -- down by 68%</h2><p>The worst performance on this list belongs to chipmaker <strong>Nvidia</strong>. As with high-end products, technology is another area where businesses can often scale back on spending or delay it outright for the sake of keeping costs down.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s sales for the year ended Jan. 25, 2009 totaled $3.4 billion and were down 16% from 2008. And a year later, sales would fall again to $3.3 billion as Nvidia noted declining demand in its professional solutions business, saying that there was a &#34;slow recovery of corporate spending following the economic recession that began during fiscal year 2009.&#34;</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s business is bigger now, and the growing need for computer chips ensures that this can be a solid growth stock to own for the long haul. But investors should brace themselves for the possibility of a bumpy ride in the next year or two if a recession takes place.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
