Consumer Discretionary Stocks

The consumer discretionary sector covers the things people buy when they have money to spend: cars, apparel, restaurants, travel and leisure, home improvement, and much of online retail. Because these purchases can be deferred, the sector is cyclical, tending to do better when consumer confidence and incomes are rising and worse when they are not. Catalysts include consumer-spending and confidence data, interest rates (which affect big-ticket financing), earnings, and seasonal trends like the holidays. It is a wide sector, spanning steady large retailers and far more volatile early-stage names.
