What is the top-rated Consumer Defensive stock right now?

As of the most recent scoring run, Xiamen Insight Investment Co Ltd (000526.SHE) ranks first in the Consumer Defensive sector with a composite score of 77.9 out of 100.

Rankings refresh every weekday night.

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 a separate price-trend signal (Strong / Neutral / Weak), not one of the four scores and 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.
