Key Points

  • The Fed's latest U.S. Recession Probabilities model has the odds of the country entering a negative growth period at 68%.
  • For the long-term investor bunkering down for a recession, rotating to recession-proof sectors makes sense.
  • Kimberly-Clark's products are a model of steady sales growth throughout the ups and downs of the economic cycle.
  • Johnson & Johnson has long proven to be a winning buy-and-hold investment for the growth and income investor.
  • Technically, there’s no such thing as a recession-proof stock, but Coke is about as close as it gets.
  • All three of these names are members of the Dividend King family. 
  • 5 stocks we like better than Kimberly-Clark.
