Top 5 Logistics Stocks To Invest In Right Now

LONDON -- A month can be a long time when looking at the share price of a particular stock. Here are two companies that have come out of the last 30 days at opposite ends of the profit/loss spectrum:

1. Ocado
The share price of�Ocado� (LSE: OCDO  ) has advanced nearly 54% during the last four weeks or so. The gain is due entirely to news that the firm will now partner with�William Morrison Supermarkets�to help the supermarket move into the online delivery market.

The 25-year agreement will allow Morrisons to license certain technology, logistics, and distribution services in order for the chain to start to build its own online shopping service. In addition, Ocado has agreed to sell to Morrisons half the capacity of its fulfilment center at Dordon.

Ocado has received an up-front payment of 165 million pounds for the deal, most of which will be put back into the research and development of new technology. The payment was a welcome boost to Ocado's balance sheet, and will go some way to reduce the group's financial costs.
