There is no really resistant stock. When the chips drop, the largest and most companies in the UK can see their stock prices suffer from (some) investors for exits. But few FTSE 100 Arrows may be proven more resistant than most if/when the next large decrease comes.

Today, I will address three examples that the fools may want to be careful to think about buying in good times – it can be said now – in preparation for badness.

Always need

One of the features of defensive companies is to do something “essential”. National Network (LSE: NG) Fits the bill well.

Regardless of what is happening in the economy, we all need access to electricity and gas. It is this predictable demand that allowed the stock price to be slowly estimated in the long run. This also means consistent profits.

This does not mean that the latter always Growth. For example, last year’s payment was “batch” after the network sold a full pile of shares and put money towards upgrading its infrastructure. This is shocking people at the time, which confirms the point that no one should take any of the flow of income from it.

However, the fact that the shares have since helped assure the durability of the network. The return also stands at 4.7 % very respectful, as I write.

An explosion with brands

A second defensive company that can overcome the following storm is better than most of them is the giant of consumer goods Unilever (LSE: ULVR). After all, it has a large number of brand products that people buy usually Domestos to Horlik to Bin and Jerry.

Of course, one of the easy risks of the culture here is that a percentage of people will cut difficult economic times and search for cheaper alternatives. This is definitely a short -term concern. But we also know that consumers usually return to previous behaviors when confidence is bounced.

In the long run, analysts in Unilever’s ability to achieve their growth goals. But remember that we are interested in the company’s hardness here, instead of its ability to make great capital gains. In fact, the betting intelligence bets may not actually be a blessing when the markets flow.

Unilever also records well when it comes to returning the money rising to the owners. Return 3.3 % equally with the average via the index.

Defensive

For more diversification, I think GSK (LSE: GSK) calls attention.

This may seem strange – the share price has decreased by 10 % in the past 12 months. There is no doubt that some of this is linked to the threat of Donald Trump to slap the definitions on pharmaceutical imports. Perhaps the constant tension on the administration’s ability to provide a pipeline also contributed to the ambition.

However, again, I think GSK attractions outweigh their issues. Regardless of working in a very defensive sector (everyone needs health care at some point, especially with age), revenues and profit may move in the right direction in 2025. The debt has almost decreased since 2016. There is a return of 4.4 % as well.

And with shares trading in a price ratio (P/E) of only nine-averages in the index is around average teenager-I think GSK provides a possible great value if this pipeline ultimately carries enough fruit.
