: BRCC | BRC Inc. News, Ratings, and Charts

BRCC – Given the uncertain macroeconomic climate and persistent inflation, fundamentally weak food stocks BRC (BRCC) and Save Foods (SVFD) are expected to remain under pressure. Therefore, it could be best to steer clear of these stocks. Keep reading…

Headwinds of persistently high inflation, tight monetary policy, and concerns of a looming recession have put industries under pressure. With food companies expected to face margin pressure from rising raw material costs, investors could look to sell fundamentally weak food stocks BRC Inc. (BRCC) and Save Foods, Inc. (SVFD) before they spoil further.

Although the latest CPI report signaled a cooling of inflation, it still remains well above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. A strong jobs growth in March and high inflation will likely bring further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, increasing fears of the economy falling into a recession.

Moreover, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester has said that interest rates will need to rise above 5% given the high prices. With fears of a downturn weighing heavily on investors’ sentiments, it could be best to avoid BRCC and SVFD. Although food stocks tend to be recession-proof, the weak fundamentals of these stocks could lead to downward price pressure.
