The ten best stocks to protect against inflation

Dusseldorf Higher inflation is commonly seen as poison for stocks. Firstly, because many companies cannot completely pass on their increasing purchasing and production costs to their customers, which is why margins are shrinking. Second, because inflation often leads to higher interest rates. These make investments more expensive, reduce profits and often also the dividends.

But there are also inflation winners. These include banks. Your very own business model benefits from rising interest rates. But be careful: Due to the structural crisis in the banking sector, analysts are warning against overestimating the small inflationary advantage over the continuing major problems in the industry.

The technology sector is interesting. The shares are actually considered to be at risk because the companies are usually relatively highly indebted due to their growth strategy, which has a negative effect on profits in the event of inflation and the resulting rise in real interest rates.
