Staples / low-vol
Consumer staples and low-vol dividend payers — the bond proxy.
Updated June 18, 2026
Staples and low-volatility dividend names — the calmest equity cluster, a bond proxy that holds up in selloffs (XLP, SPLV, NOBL, GIS, PEP). Lowest volatility of any stock group; the best non-tech book over twenty years.
Cumulative excess return vs SPY — trailing 52 weeks
Average weekly rank — trailing 52 weeks (0 = bottom, 100 = top)
48 names cluster here, grouped purely by how their prices have moved together over the last five years (with the market’s common move removed) — not by GICS sector. Each row shows price change over 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year, then the four SYMBOL-card scores: Perform (beat vs the S&P 500), Persist (how steadily it holds rank), Profit (business growth) and Pressure (money flow & volatility). Scores are percentiles from 0–100; greener is stronger.
