Strome Business Minute With Dr. Jeff Tanner

Analysts wonder if we’ll have a U-shaped recession, or fast drop, fast recovery, a swoop-shaped recession, or fast drop, long recovery, or W-shaped, a fast drop with ups and downs before we really recover. The Raymond James analysts make the most sense with their K shape model. Picture a K –some companies dropped like a stone and will never return, like over-leveraged businesses, while others, think Amazon, Walmart and Teladoc, are unphased or even thriving. Others are the right leg of the K – they’re sliding down but they’ll come back, like oil, airlines, and car sales. And a fourth group, the arm of the K, include elective healthcare and tech, will come back quicker. But not all will come back at the same time. To learn more, visit odu.edu/business.
