Value in Industrials stocks rose 1.3 percent on June 7 from the previous day.

The strongest performing Industrials company in Arizona was Wrap Technologies Inc. (WRAP:NAQ), sitting 1,820,842.7 percent higher to sell at $2.26.

Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. (KNX:NYQ) fared the worst among Arizona companies, suffering a 100 percent drop to $49.21.

Among Mesa companies, Verra Mobility Corp. (VRRM:NAQ) saw the highest rise in value of 80.5 percent on June 7.

The Energy sector was the daily best-performing sector on the market.

Financials was the worst-performing sector.

Healthcare and technology stocks are viewed as the safest bets for long-term gains.

Besty Kuekcer with Benzinga.com said healthcare-related stocks, such as hospital conglomerates and insurance companies, have weathered numerous economic crises and still make a profit, suggesting that they are generally a stable investment.

While technology stocks can be more risky, given the boom-bust nature of new tech companies, Kuecker recommended a diverse portfolio of tech companies to strike it big when companies succeed or sell to other larger companies.

For short-term investments, Kuecker recommended “consumer discretionary” stocks, which are sensitive to economic changes but can rise greatly on the back of a strong economy.
