5 SP 500 Stocks Unscathed by the Market Mayhem

The market mayhem that gripped Wall Street last week didn't leave all S&P 500 stocks unscathed. While many stocks took a hit, a select few managed to defy the trend and emerge relatively unscathed.

According to Zacks Investment Research, five S&P 500 stocks bucked the trend and reported impressive gains, despite the broader market's turmoil. These stocks, which include Microsoft (MSFT), Visa (V), McDonald's (MCD), Procter & Gamble (PG), and Coca-Cola (KO), demonstrated their resilience and ability to perform well even in challenging market conditions.

Microsoft, the tech giant, led the pack with a gain of 3.3% last week. The company's strong quarterly earnings and guidance, coupled with its diversified business portfolio, helped it weather the market storm.

Visa, the payment processing giant, was another standout, with a gain of 2.7%. The company's strong quarterly earnings, driven by its growing payment volumes, helped it buck the trend.

McDonald's, the fast-food giant, reported a gain of 2.5%, as its strong quarterly earnings and positive same-store sales growth helped it shrug off the market volatility.

Procter & Gamble, the consumer goods giant, reported a gain of 2.3%, as its strong quarterly earnings and positive same-store sales growth helped it weather the market storm.

Coca-Cola, the beverage giant, reported a gain of 2.2%, as its strong quarterly earnings and positive same-store sales growth helped it buck the trend.

These five S&P 500 stocks demonstrated their resilience and ability to perform well even in challenging market conditions. While the broader market may have been volatile, these stocks showed that they can still deliver strong gains for investors.
