If we get a slowdown globally due to tariffs, consumer discretionary will struggle. This name is healthcare, personal care, and cleaning. Wanting to spin off lower-margin businesses. Much more globally intertwined than PG and others; 60% of revenues are outside NA. Global reach to improve margins and cut costs.
Struggling last few years, but over time you still get 10% return and very little risk. In one of the least volatile sectors. (Price target is in pounds.) Yield is 3.27%.
Owns shares in company and likes prospects of business. Under performance of company not a concern. Emerging markets will present opportunity for growth. Inflation has made for tough times on the bottom line. Would recommend investors to be patient. Expecting positive changes in company with new activist investors.
The consumer staple sector has broadly sold off after the election. It was a very defensive sector that had done quite well. A very good, broadly diversified consumer staple stock. European valuations on consumer staples are a little more compelling than in the US. Yield of about 3.6%.
