Guess the Stock E63 | Time to reconsider consumer stocks?
The U.S. economy appears to be stronger than expected, but investors are still shunning the consumer goods sector. With the current decline in stock prices and the rapid rise in Treasury yields, the attractiveness of stocks related to necessities is reducing. Year to date, the $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US$ is up 14%, while the $SPDR S&P Retail ETF(XRT.US$ is down 0.4%, making it the largest spread since 2017. On an individual basis, more than 20 stocks in the S&P 500 components of the Daily Goods and General Consumer Goods sectors touched new 52-week lows in October.
As a result of the recent declines, some companies have achieved more attractive valuations. Is there any buying opportunity? Let's dive into the companies that could lead or be impacted by this trend without further ado!

3. $Colgate-Palmolive (CL.US)$ Notable Dividend: dividend (2.58%) is higher than the bottom 25% of dividend payers in the US market (1.65%). High Dividend: CL's dividend (2.58%) is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the US market (5.09%).
As a consumer-defensive stock, it is relatively a good reopening play for investors. I would monitor this stock more and DYODD as usual before any investment.

3) Bonus warm tips: $Colgate-Palmolive (CL.US)$ earnings report is expected to be released on October 27 & it appears to be a compelling earnings-beat candidate!
$Conagra Brands (CAG.US)$ reported mixed first quarter results last week. While demand for single-serve items softened, the company saw rising demand for multi-serve frozen foods. Lets see if they can successfully reinvent themselves
$Dollar General (DG.US)$ just brought back its former CEO Todd Vasos. The company is seeing declining margins and weak comparable-store sales. Furthermore there are also concerns about competitive pressure from Familly Dollar
As usual all the above are NOT financial advises, plz DYOR/DD
