May 23, 2021 by Staff Reporter

Analysts at Goldman Sachs have tipped a group of stocks to take off as Europe emerges from widespread Covid-19 lockdowns.

The analysts tracked data from across Europe to gauge international and domestic levels of economic activity. This included flight searches, airport traffic, road traffic, restaurant bookings, retail sales and ATM transaction values.

For those willing to take a slightly longer-term view, the analysts highlighted internationally-focused stocks such as airline maker Airbus, watchmaker Swatch and travel technology group Amadeus IT.

The analysts also spotlighted “laggards with significant upside potential”, which included sportswear company Adidas, engine-maker Rolls-Royce and drinks bottler Coca-Cola HBC.
