Best Business Ideas During a Pandemic

1. Health Care & Biotech (Deep-Cleaning Products, Sanitizers, Air Purifiers, Thermal
Scanning, Parma Distribution)
Biotechnology and health care sectors are showing some resilience compared to broad
benchmarks due to their participation in the hunt for COVID-19 treatments. Mid-caps
and large caps that closed near 52-week highs on Friday include Quidel Corporation
(QDEL), Centene Corporation (CNC), and Masimo Corporation (MASI). Alternatively,
avoid sector small caps because most have been run up on speculation that could
evaporate overnight.
ThirdEye claims its augmented reality glasses can be fitted with thermal imaging to
make this process more seamless. The company says it has received about 2,000 orders
related to the coronavirus outbreak and will ship the devices within the next month and
a half. Some of ThirdEye’s recent orders are meant to be used by airport workers at
Hong Kong International Airport. The idea is that the AR glasses equipped with the
thermal scanning feature could automatically tell airport officials if someone has an
elevated temperature. The glasses could also broadcast those imaging feeds directly to
doctors who can advise those workers.
The novel coronavirus has had some consumers looking for tools to disinfect their
surrounding areas, including high-tech electrostatic spray guns. While you might
normally have disinfectant sprayed from a bottle, these types of guns make use of
charged particles to ensure that a substance fully covers a surface.
Some companies are now marketing these guns in response to the coronavirus. A
couple of them — one called Emist and another called EFS Clean — are being used
in health care facilities in Singapore and by school officials in Utah. One person on
LinkedIn showed how he used one to disinfect his seat on an airplane.
Teleconferencing & Digital Transformation (Remote Services like Peloton & Zoom)
Teleconferencing software companies have also attracted buying interest, but the group
got pummeled last week after stocks were run up too far, too fast. Nasdaq 100
component Citrix Systems, Inc. (CTXS) could prosper after a pullback, with the 2020
breakout above 2018 resistance still intact. Teledoc Health, Inc. (TDOC) looks like
another way to play the American retreat to the homestead, with that stock lifting nearly
30% since the start of February.
Safe Havens
Traditional safe havens are acting slightly better than their growth counterparts, with
high dividends easing the pain of lower prices. Campbell Soup Company (CPB) is trading
close to a 52-week high after a strong earnings report and also pays a 2.84% forward

2. dividend yield. And it's hard to resist a water play like American Water Works Company,
Inc. (AWK) in this environment, despite the unimpressive 1.56% yield.
Some stocks will benefit from any crisis — or at least not get hit as hard as their peers.
Zoom Video Communications (ZM)
There’s no doubt a pandemic is tough on brick-and-mortar companies, but for most
white collar workers the show must go on. As a pure play stock in the video
conferencing category, Zoom is uniquely positioned as companies shift to more remote
work.
Domino’s Pizza (DPZ)
With people wanting to avoid crowds because of COVID-19, it’s natural to want to order
in. Domino’s, as well as other companies that focus on food delivery, stand to benefit in
the short term from the virus.
Campbell Soup Company (CPB)
Campbell is the quintessential counter-cyclical stock, and even more so in a prepping
environment. When the global outlook is gloomy, people want to stockpile — and soup
is a major pantry staple.
Teladoc Health, Inc. (TDOC)
If sitting in a doctor’s office with dozens of other sick people can be avoided, it seems it
would be regarded as a prudent decision. For this reason, remote health services are an
obvious focus for investors during the pandemic.
The Clorox Company (CLX)
Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Have you heard that you should wash your hands
to avoid the spread of the coronavirus? Clorox benefits from this sudden interest in
sanitation and cleanliness.
Everbridge, Inc. (EVBG)
When times are uncertain, global decision-makers want to get as much quality

3. information as possible. Everbridge offers a risk intelligence platform that provides this
service.
Virtu Financial, Inc. (VIRT)
Whether markets are going up or down, large amounts of volume and volatility are
good things for financial services companies that make money from high frequency
trading.
Not all of these companies are in the green — some have simply traded sideways — but
on average, they’ve seen a 12.7% bump in price over the last week.
