Top Leisure Stocks To Consider – May 6th

Apollo Global Management, Aramark, and Trip.com Group are the three Leisure stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Leisure stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary businesses involve recreation, tourism, entertainment and hospitality—think hotels, theme parks, cruise lines, casinos and sports venues. As consumer‐discretionary plays, they tend to be cyclical: demand (and share performance) usually rises when disposable incomes and travel activity are strong, and falls during economic slowdowns. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Leisure stocks within the last several days.
