Top Transportation Stocks To Add to Your Watchlist - April 13th

Key Points

• MarketBeat's screener flagged five transportation stocks to watch: Avis Budget Group (CAR), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), American Airlines (AAL), Delta Air Lines (DAL), and Valero Energy (VLO), each posting the highest dollar trading volume among transportation stocks in recent days.
• Transportation stocks are described as economically sensitive and cyclical—they track freight volumes, travel demand, fuel costs and regulation—so they can serve as indicators of economic activity or a way to add sector diversification.
• The list spans subsectors (car rental, passenger airlines, diversified rail/insurance, and refining), offering exposure to both travel demand and energy/refining dynamics rather than a single thematic trade.
