5 Top Stocks to Buy in June

It would be an understatement to say that we're entering June with a high level of uncertainty. While states and localities are gradually reopening across the U.S. as the measures taken to slow the spread of COVID-19 are relaxed, it's unclear how fast the economy will recover, governmental decisions are being made in a patchwork fashion, and the trajectory the pandemic will take from here is unknown.

If that wasn't enough, the mass demonstrations against police brutality in major U.S. cities that began at the end of May have added another layer of uncertainty to the mix.

For long-term investors, though, some things haven't changed. The tried-and-true strategy of finding high-quality companies, buying their shares at reasonable prices, and holding them for years or decades will never go out of style. We asked five of our Motley Fool contributors which high-quality stocks they'd recommend investors add to their portfolios in June. Their picks: U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ICPT), Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA), and ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW).
