Featured Content from MarketBeat.com 3 Recession-Ready Stocks That Thrive When the Economy SputtersWritten by Nathan Reiff. Published 9/22/2025. 
Key Points - With recession signals flashing, investors might turn to defensive plays that offer some resilience if the market should fall.
- Church & Dwight and Spire provide essential household golds and natural gas utility services, respectively, and have strong fundamentals and a history of dividends.
- Chemed operates in a unique dual-sector role with businesses in both home services and healthcare. Despite recent challenges, it may be a compelling defensive play as well.
Fresh off the first federal funds rate cut of the year, investors are closely monitoring recession indicators. A softening housing market, warning signs in the labor sector and other metrics point to a possible downturn—even as many stocks continue to climb. Cautious investors may consider shifting into a more defensive equity position if they suspect a recession in the quarters ahead. Fortunately, there are a number of strategies to prepare. Below, we highlight one firm each from the recession-resistant consumer staples and utilities sectors, plus a third from the healthcare space that could offer stability even if the broader market falters.

And only one company here in the U.S. can mine this obscure metal. Click here to get the details on this virtual monopoly. Church & Dwight Co. Inc. (NYSE: CHD) offers a wide range of household and personal care brands—Arm & Hammer, OxiClean, Trojan and more—that consumers view as essential regardless of economic conditions. This defensive positioning can insulate the company during downturns. Church & Dwight's ongoing product expansion—through both R&D and strategic acquisitions like this year's purchase of hand-sanitizer maker Touchland—should support stable sales, even if rapid growth is unlikely at this stage. Investors should consider CHD as a source of stability rather than a high-growth play. Its long dividend history—with nearly 30 consecutive years of increases—a 1.30% yield and a conservative 55.7% payout ratio all bolster its defensive appeal. Shares are down more than 10% year-to-date amid tariff headwinds, but analysts remain optimistic, forecasting upside potential exceeding 14%. Fast-Growing Utility Stock With Big Expansion Plans and Rock-Solid Dividends Spire Inc. (NYSE: SR) is a regional natural gas utility serving customers in Mississippi, Alabama and Missouri. It is set to acquire Piedmont Natural Gas, adding over 200,000 customers in Tennessee—especially in fast-growing Nashville—which analysts say could drive around 8% earnings growth next year. Utilities often face high operations and maintenance costs, but Spire has kept expense growth under 1% year-to-date (per the latest earnings report), helping to offset inflationary pressures. Like Church & Dwight, Spire is also a strong dividend play, with a 4.12% yield and 22 consecutive years of increases backed by a healthy 67.1% payout ratio. Undervalued Dual-Sector Stock With Recession-Resistant Services and Long-Term Upside Chemed Corp. (NYSE: CHE) straddles home services and healthcare through its two primary brands—Roto-Rooter and Vitas Healthcare. Both segments offer recession-resistant services: Roto-Rooter provides plumbing, water restoration and drain-cleaning solutions, while Vitas focuses on end-of-life care. Although legislative changes to Medicare could present headwinds, Chemed's core operations remain fundamentally stable. Chemed faces challenges such as hospice care caps, labor pressure and rising insurance costs, which contributed to earnings missing analyst estimates this quarter. As a result, CHE trades at its lowest P/E ratio in over four years, presenting a potential buying opportunity for investors seeking long-term resilience and outperformance during economic slowdowns.
