The Tell: Here are the European and Asian coronavirus plays that have rallied while markets have gone sour

Markets outside the U.S. haven’t been spared the pain from the coronavirus that has closed much of the economy.

According to S&P Dow Jones Indices, global markets have lost $ 14.9 trillion in value from their Feb. 29 high, and international stocks lost about a quarter of their value in the first quarter.

But there have been a few gems, all of which benefited from the coronavirus outbreak in some way. Here are some of the winners in Europe and Asia this year.

HelloFresh HFG, +0.07%, a German maker of prepared foodkits, has climbed 51%.

Ambu AMBU.B, +0.89%, a Danish medical equipment maker, has climbed 42%.

BioMerieux BIM, +1.20%, a French maker of a COVID-19 test, has gained 34%.

Ping An Healthcare and Technology 1833, +7.32%, an online provider of Chinese health care advice, has jumped 30%.

Nihon Kohden 6849, +0.53%, a Japanese medical equipment maker, has jumped 24%.

Nexon 3659, -3.88%, a Tokyo-listed videogame maker, has gained 24%.

Yihai International 1579, +0.27%, a Hong Kong maker of hot pot soup flavoring, also has gained 24%.
