As rising costs crimp corporate profits and curb consumer demand, certain stocks have a track record of performing well during periods of faster inflation. Inflation is at generational highs.

Occidental Petroleum is one energy name to make Bank of America's pro-inflation list. The stock is the best performing in the S & P 500 this year by far, more than doubling in 2022. The oil giant is also a favorite of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway , which built a $12 billion stake in Occidental as of the end of the first quarter .
