Consumer staples stocks usually provide protection when markets are frothy and ripe for a correction,
but they’re a double-edged sword as they often lag in booming conditions. The industry has recently defied this pattern, however, delivering a six-month return of 10.3%, nearly mirroring the S&P 500.
Monster trades at $52.12 and has moved in lockstep with the market. Its shares have returned 6.1% over the last six months while the S&P 500 has gained 10.6%.
