About This Group of Stocks
Our Expert Thinking
We've applied the classic "picks and shovels" investment strategy to vice industries. Instead of investing directly in casinos or cannabis products, these stocks represent the vital technology providers, equipment suppliers, and service companies that power these resilient markets behind the scenes.
What You Need to Know
These companies benefit from vice industry growth while potentially facing fewer direct regulatory hurdles and social pressures than consumer brands. They provide essential infrastructure that remains necessary regardless of which end-product brands dominate their respective markets.
Why These Stocks
Our analysts selected these companies because they provide indispensable tools and services for expanding markets like online gambling and regulated cannabis. They stand to benefit from continuing waves of legalization that unlock new regions and revenue streams for these foundational businesses.
Why You'll Want to Watch These Stocks
The Backbone, Not The Brand
These companies provide essential infrastructure to vice industries without selling the end products themselves. This strategic position may offer growth potential with potentially less direct regulatory scrutiny.
Riding The Legalization Wave
As more regions legalize sports betting and cannabis, these B2B suppliers are positioned to expand into each new market. You're investing in the companies that will service every new entrant in these growing industries.
The "Picks and Shovels" Strategy
Like selling tools to gold miners instead of mining gold yourself, these companies profit by providing essential services to vice industries. This time-tested approach targets the infrastructure of high-growth markets.
