Sector teams with the most active deal flow in down markets AKA unlikely to get hit by layoffs

The tech bubble has burst, IPO highs are a thing of the past, levfin is down with no one touching high yield debt, rising rates, inflation in the 9's - which sectors are the most active with real deal flow? I'm guessing RX folks are gearing up for a mad season ahead, FIG is typically busy during recessions etc

 

P&U, everyone uses electricity + stable dividend.

Also, utilities are regulated by state commissions and all costs are flow through to customers

Authorized ROEs fluctuate with the policy yield - the higher the policy rate is, the higher authorized ROEs (the return you are granted by commissions) are going to be.

In short - stable income through dividends, low risk with profitability downside protected.

 

Thank you but my question is more in line with which IBD sector teams will stay the busiest with real deal flow in the current market downturn aka most unlikely to be affected by layoffs
