Become an InsiderAs the European economy starts to recover, some of the hard-hit transportation stocks offer a cheap opportunity in the rotation to value.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesPositive news from Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca has fuelled hopes of a way out of the coronavirus crisis, prompting optimism from investors on Europe's potential for economic recovery — exemplified by the recent rotation into value.
