2 Recession-Proof Stocks to Watch in December
As 2025 comes to a close, it will cap off a year of deep economic uncertainty. While new technologies like generative artificial intelligence (AI) have boosted GDP growth from data center spending, regular consumers are still struggling with rising prices and a softening job market. UBS projects that over the near term, there is a 93% chance of a recession.
Generally, economic downturns are bad news for stocks because they mean less spending and slower growth. Companies with particularly weak balance sheets may even declare bankruptcy.
That said, some businesses are built to thrive no matter what happens with the economy. Let's discuss why Dollar General (NYSE: DG) and Realty (NYSE: O) fit the bill.
