3 Back-to-School Stocks to Buy Right Now

School's back in session, and with the coronavirus pandemic still around, it's going to be a challenging year for teachers and students. For investors, however, it's an opportunity to invest strategically in companies that are likely to see demand for their products and services rise as they help make classrooms safer.

From more testing to safety supplies and products to facilitate at-home learning, Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX), Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), and Home Depot (NYSE: HD) are three examples of stocks that could get a boost this school year. Here's why all three companies could be great investments right now.

One of the ways that countries can contain the spread of COVID-19 is by conducting frequent testing. That's why Quest Diagnostics is likely going to remain busy for a while, especially now that schools are open again. In just the last two weeks of July, with kids on the cusp of going back to school in the U.S., more than 97,000 of them contracted COVID-19.
