The stock market has gyrated wildly in recent weeks. The S&P 500 briefly entered bear market territory (a 20% decline from the recent peak) after a brutal stretch to start the month following President Donald Trump's decision to levy heavy reciprocal tariffs on imports. However, his decision to pause for 90 days sent stocks soaring in one of their best days since World War II.

Turbulence has returned to the stock market this year. Concerns about how much tariffs will impact the global economy have caused wild gyrations in the stock market. If they cause a global recession, stocks could fall further. While a recession would have a major impact on many companies, some produce much more durable income, putting them in a better position to weather economic storms.

Crude oil prices have slumped about 15% over the past year. That has pushed West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the primary U.S. oil price benchmark, below $70 a barrel. That decline will weigh on the oil-fueled cash flows of many energy companies. However, some energy stocks are in a better position to handle oil price volatility than others.

The stock market has been pretty turbulent to start this year. That volatility has created a lot of uncertainty among investors. There are concerns that companies might not grow as rapidly as has been expected in the future, which could affect their ability to generate returns for investors. However, some companies have very visible growth prospects that won't change based on market turbulence.

Volatility has returned to the stock market to start the year. The Nasdaq Composite is down 8% year to date while other market indexes are right behind it. There's no telling how long this turbulence could last. While volatile times can be tough to stomach, some companies have proven their ability to withstand these rough patches.
