The development of a successful COVID-19 vaccine could have wide-ranging implications on a basket of stocks that saw a surge in growth amid the pandemic.

That’s according to a Friday note from JPMorgan, which put together a list of 25 stocks traders should bet against once a COVID-19 vaccine is distributed and administered to the population.

“This is a list of stocks that are in the upper echelon of Momentum and have crowded positioning, that could see the second derivative of their profit growth decrease as consumer/corporate activity normalizes,” JPMorgan explained.

On the flip side, Goldman Sachs offered six stocks on Friday that could benefit from the distribution and administration of a successful COVID-19 vaccine.

The JPMorgan basket of stocks should be viewed as a tactical opportunity to express a bearish view on the catalyst of a COVID-19 vaccine, and should not be viewed as a fundamental call on the company.
