US stock market crashes but these companies’ shares show positive growth. Here is full list

US stock market has plunged this week as S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq numbers were red. However, there are some Wall Street stocks that performed well. While, big tech stocks, specialty retailers, travel and energy companies took sizeable losses.

Companies that focus on food, health care and other necessities gained ground or held relatively stable. Many investors in search of safer places to put their money shifted their focus to companies that tend to hold up during economic slowdowns and recessions. They figured that Americans still need health care, basic necessities such as food, soap and toilet paper, and electricity to power their homes. Plus the occasional alcoholic or carbonated beverage.

Here are some companies that have managed to post gains or minimal losses for the week:
Food

Food makers, grocery stores, and restaurants all expect to feel an impact from higher costs on imported products. Food, especially at grocery stores, is among the many expenses that can’t be completely cut out of a budget and will likely be grudgingly absorbed by people.
