How many Consumer Defensive stocks does ShareValue.ai cover?

ShareValue.ai covers Consumer Defensive stocks across all 17 supported exchanges, drawn from a global universe of 52,000+ listed equities scored on the qualified subset (roughly 30,000 names meeting market-cap and listing-quality filters).

How is the Consumer Defensive composite score computed?

Each Consumer Defensive stock receives four pillar scores (Valuation, Quality, Growth, Health) on a 0-100 scale, then a weighted composite. Detailed pillar weights are documented on the /methodology page. The same scoring framework runs across all sectors, but the high-ranking names within Consumer Defensive tend to share sector-specific patterns (capital-light margin profiles in Technology, capital-ratio strength in Financial Services, balance-sheet runway in Healthcare). Momentum is tracked separately as a Buy/Hold/Sell price-action signal, not folded into the composite.

How often do the Consumer Defensive rankings update?

Every weekday night, after the scoring pipeline completes around 03:30 ET. The dateModified stamp on this page reflects the actual last-refresh time so you can verify freshness. Markets-closed weekends and holidays show the most recent weekday's rankings.

Best Consumer Defensive Stocks for 2026

Food, beverage, household-product, and tobacco names built for defense, not growth; Health and Quality pillars do most of the work here.

Consumer Defensive (Consumer Staples) names sell what people buy regardless of the macro cycle: food, beverages, household products, tobacco. Lower beta and steadier earnings mean the Health and Quality pillars dominate; high composite scores in this sector tend to come from durable franchises rather than rapid growth.
