Baker Hughes (BKR) brings energy sector diversification with promising LNG market exposure, while Kroger (KR) offers stability through its dominant position in consumer staples. These selections provide a balanced mix of growth potential and income generation, particularly attractive for investors seeking exposure to these key sectors.
