Best Travel Stocks To Follow Now - July 4th

BigBear.ai, Alibaba Group, Costco Wholesale, SoFi Technologies, and Booking are the five Travel stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Travel stocks are publicly traded shares of companies whose core business involves travel and tourism—airlines, hotels and resorts, cruise lines, car‐rental firms and online booking platforms. They offer investors exposure to the health of the global travel industry, which is driven by consumer discretionary spending, economic conditions, seasonality and geopolitical events. As a result, travel stocks can deliver strong returns during periods of rising travel demand but tend to be more volatile when external factors curb tourism. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Travel stocks within the last several days.
