3 Retail Stocks to Buy Before the Next Market Crash

Retailers were among the companies that suffered most during the last market crash, as the coronavirus pandemic kept shoppers at home and focused on the essentials. What's more, stores selling non-essential items were forced to temporarily close due to the crisis. This was likely an isolated event, and future market crashes -- unless linked to a health crisis -- probably won't punish retailers so severely.

Still, it's useful to look at which retailers best navigated the difficult period following the March 2020 crash because it's a sign of strength. If a company also has a track record of earnings growth and you can see revenue growth drivers ahead, it's probably one you'll want to buy before the next crash.

When it comes to strong performance, even in a market downturn, here are three of my favorite retail stocks.
