Stagflation Stocks

How to Invest During Stagflation.
Sun, Jan 18th, 2026

In a stagflationary environment - marked by high inflation, sluggish economic growth, and rising costs - certain sectors tend to demonstrate resilience and outperformance. This guide on how to invest for stagflation focuses on companies with strong pricing power, stable cash flows, and defensive business models, prioritizing stocks with historically reasonable price/earnings (P/E) ratios below 30 times trailing earnings to avoid overvalued plays. Key sectors include energy and commodities, which benefit from rising prices; consumer staples and healthcare, which provide essential goods and services; and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which offer inflation-adjusted rental income. Utilities stand out for their pricing stability and steady demand, while insurance companies and select financial services firms profit from higher interest rates and inflation-linked pricing. By focusing on fundamentally strong, inflation-resistant companies, this list of "stagflation stocks" provides a strategic approach to navigating stagflation-driven market conditions.
