About consumer staples stocks today
Consumer staples are the essentials people buy in any economy — food, beverages, household and personal-care products, tobacco, and the discount retailers that sell them. Demand is steady through the cycle, so the sector is the textbook defensive group: lower beta, reliable dividends, and relative outperformance when the market turns risk-off.
Staples leadership is itself a signal. When this defensive group is showing the most relative strength, capital is rotating toward safety — often a late-cycle or risk-off tell. A relative-strength screen here surfaces the steady compounders catching a defensive bid; the moves are slower than tech or biotech, but the trends are durable. This list ranks them against the whole market.
Every evening after the close, StockSetups scans the full US equities universe (~12,300 stocks and ETFs), tags each by sector, and scores its relative strength. This page lists that sector's names from the latest scan, ranked by RS Rating — an IBD-style 1–99 percentile of how each stock's price performance compares to the entire market — so the leaders sit on top. We limit the list to liquid, tradeable names (at least $5M traded a day and a share price above $5) so it isn't cluttered with illiquid micro-caps.
