We use more electronics today than we ever did. The increasing digitalization of all our day-to-day activities is providing a push to businesses that make electronic components. Investors looking to buy electronic components stocks can consider businesses like Rogers Corporation. The interesting thing about Rogers is that it not only makes important circuit and electronic products, but it also is a major producer of elastomeric material solutions. That makes the company an important name among materials stocks to buy in 2020.
