These 2 Stock Winners Have Quietly Doubled in 2021
Wall Street has been having somewhat of a temper tantrum lately, with last week's series of declines for the stock market seemingly suggesting lasting concerns about the state of affairs for the economy, public health, and government action. Investors seemed to be a little more upbeat about the prospects for stocks Monday morning. As of just before 7 a.m. EDT, futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) were up 189 points to 34,796. S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) futures rose 24 points to 4,482, and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) futures picked up 71 points to 15,513.
Technology stocks get a huge amount of attention, and they've certainly deserved it lately, given their strong performance. However, even when you look outside the tech arena, you can find some high-performing stocks with good prospects ahead. Below, we'll look at two big winners that have already doubled this year -- Nucor (NYSE: NUE) and Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX) -- and provide some insight on why they have performed well and whether the good times can continue.
Nucor has been one of the hottest companies in the steel industry so far this year. Even after pulling back slightly from its all-time highs last month, the stock is still up 111% in 2021.
