2 Pharmacy Stocks to Buy and Hold Amid the COVID-19 Crisis

Investors are dealing with unprecedented times in the wake of the coronavirus. While no industry has been spared from the devastating impact of the virus, some have proved to be more resilient than others. With signs that the pandemic may be easing, and stocks showing hopeful indications of rebounding from their recent bear market plunge, you may be searching for new investment opportunities that you can rely on once the crisis is over.

CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA) look like they present such buying opportunities. Both companies are deemed essential businesses and are selling key staples and medications to customers throughout the pandemic. CVS and Walgreens have also opened COVID-19 testing sites at locations around the country. CVS has testing sites in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Georgia, while Walgreens is expanding drive-thru locations to Florida, Arizona, Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas.
