  • Stocks to Watch After February's Hotter-Than-Expected PPI Increase
    March 19, 2026, 8:15 PM EDT. The U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI), a key inflation gauge measuring prices for goods and services sold by domestic producers, rose 0.7% month-over-month in February, the highest monthly jump since last July. The yearly increase reached 3.4%, marking the largest annual gain since February last year. Higher PPI typically supports companies with pricing power, notably in basic materials, metals, chemicals, consumer staples, construction, and tech sectors. Metal producers like NWPX Infrastructure, a specialty steel maker, could benefit from rising steel prices and margin expansion. Chemical firm DuPont de Nemours also stands out as a strong buy with solid dividend yield and reasonable valuation amid inflationary pressure. Investors may see opportunities in these inflation-sensitive stocks amid ongoing price pressures.
