Guess the Stock E63 | Time to reconsider consumer stocks?

This event is to help mooers learn more about the differences among companies and industries.
This event is to help mooers learn more about the differences among companies and industries.
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!
