Consumer Staples stocks like McCormick (NYSE: MKC) and General Mills (NYSE: GIS) have historically outperformed the S&P 500 during recessions. BofA Securities analysts say earnings per share, not sales growth, drive stock performance. Limited tariff exposure could also boost sector appeal.
The S&P 500 is often seen as a benchmark for strong businesses, but that doesn’t mean every stock is worth owning.
Some companies face significant challenges, whether it’s stagnating growth, heavy debt, or disruptive new competitors.
While finding stocks that are boosting dividends is good, it is even better when their dividend yields are already higher than the market. Generally speaking, many consider the S&P 500 Index to be “the market."
Colgate-Palmolive and General Mills are poised for growth in the premium pet food market, with analysts projecting a 5% annual expansion through 2030. Innovation, increased advertising, and expanded production capacity are expected to drive sales, reinforcing their market position.
