Qantas Airways (ASX QAN)

The coronavirus pandemic has impacted almost every business sector in a way that hasn’t been seen before in the modern world.

The travel and hospitality industries have faced an existential threat due to a practical standstill in tourism and business travel.

However, the hardship brought by the pandemic might prove to be a boon for industry leaders as it weeds out smaller or weaker competitors.

This has been the case for Qantas Airways (ASX:QAN).

After Virgin’s bankruptcy, Qantas is in a position to dominate Australia’s domestic sector with solid liquidity and a near-monopoly.

Additionally, Qantas has been named as one of the world’s most financially secure airlines during the pandemic.

Furthermore, the recent lockdown could be an upside catalyst for the stock as the vaccination rate accelerate across Australia.

A2 Milk (ASX:A2M)

A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX:A2M) has been a stock market darling over the past few years due to its fast-growing business and robust performance.

However, contrary to initial assessments, COVID-19 handed a blow to the company’s fortunes.

The pandemic severely impacted one of A2M’s major sales channels, hurt the company’s outlook, and resulted in multiple downgrades.

As with all hyper-growth stocks, any perceived apprehensions about the company’s operations will trigger a severe correction.

The recent three child policy announced by China as well as expectations of borders openings could revitalise the diagou revenue channel in mid-2022.

Even though there are China trade tension and headwinds, we expect demand to continue to rise along with a recovery in revenue in the Diagou channel.

Secondly, markets and stocks are driven by macroeconomic forces in the medium-term.

Factors include but are not limited to changes in interest rates, consumer sentiment, government policies and so forth.

Understanding the nuances and how the different countries interact with each other in terms of trade and politics is key to understanding the forces that drive the markets as a whole.
