On Sep 20, markets tumbled on concerns of a possible bankruptcy of a large Chinese property developer and its contagion effect on the global economy.\nAdditionally, the high-valuation of equities, the spread of the Delta string of coronavirus and a section of market participants’ expectation that the Fed may signal tapering of its $120 billion per month bond-buy program starting this year have dented investors' confidence in this month. As a result, month to date, the three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have slid 3.9%, 3.6% and 3.6%, respectively.\nHowever, the fundamentals of the U.S. economy stay solid and the overall trend of the market remains encouraging. Year to date, the three large-cap-specific indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have rallied 11%, 16% and 14.2%, respectively. The small-cap-centric Russell 2000 has gained 10.5%.  However, the mid-cap-centric S&P 400 has rallied 14.3%, second only to the S&P 500.\nAt this stage, it may be fruitful to invest in mid-cap consumer discretionary stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank to get good return in the near term.\nImportance of Mid-Cap Stocks\nInvestment in mid-cap stocks is often recognized as a good portfolio diversification strategy. These stocks combine the attractive attributes of both small and large-cap stocks. Top-ranked mid-cap stocks have a high potential to enhance their profitability, productivity and market share. These may even become large caps in due course of time.\nIf the economic recovery has slowed due to the spread of the Delta variant of coronavirus or any unforeseen external disturbances, mid-cap stocks will be less susceptible to losses than their large-cap counterparts owing to less international exposure.\nOn the other hand, if the crisis doesn’t worsen due to vaccination, these stocks will gain more than small caps due to established management teams, a broad distribution network, brand recognition and ready access to the capital markets.\nImportance of Consumer Discretionary Sector\nThe consumer discretionary sector comprises businesses that sell goods and services, which are considered non-essential by consumers. These are the products that consumers can avoid without any major consequences to their well-being. In fact, these goods are desirable only if the available income of an individual is sufficient to purchase them.\nU.S. retail sales rebounded in August after a sharp decline in July. Solid consumer spending defying the spread of the Delta variant has surprised many financial experts. The positive momentum is likely to continue as several market researchers have predicted strong holiday retail sales this year.\nPersonal savings of Americans are around an astonishing $2 trillion. The sky-high savings are allowing them to indulge in their demands that were pent up during lockdowns and are in turn compelling businesses to expand their scale of operations. In fact, higher inflationary pressure in the U.S. economy is primarily owing to massive aggregate demand.\nOur Top Picks\nWe have narrowed down our search to five mid-cap (market capital > $5 billion < $10 billion) consumer discretionary stocks that have strong growth potential for the rest of 2021. These stocks have seen positive estimate revisions in the last 60 days. Each of our picks sports a Zacks Rank #1 (strong Buy).

On Sep 20, markets tumbled on concerns of a possible bankruptcy of a large Chinese property developer and its contagion effect on the global economy.\nAdditionally, the high-valuation of equities, the spread of the Delta string of coronavirus and a section of market participants’ expectation that the Fed may signal tapering of its $120 billion per month bond-buy program starting this year have dented investors' confidence in this month. As a result, month to date, the three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have slid 3.9%, 3.6% and 3.6%, respectively.\nHowever, the fundamentals of the U.S. economy stay solid and the overall trend of the market remains encouraging. Year to date, the three large-cap-specific indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have rallied 11%, 16% and 14.2%, respectively. The small-cap-centric Russell 2000 has gained 10.5%.  However, the mid-cap-centric S&P 400 has rallied 14.3%, second only to the S&P 500.\nAt this stage, it may be fruitful to invest in mid-cap consumer discretionary stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank to get good return in the near term.\nImportance of Mid-Cap Stocks\nInvestment in mid-cap stocks is often recognized as a good portfolio diversification strategy. These stocks combine the attractive attributes of both small and large-cap stocks. Top-ranked mid-cap stocks have a high potential to enhance their profitability, productivity and market share. These may even become large caps in due course of time.\nIf the economic recovery has slowed due to the spread of the Delta variant of coronavirus or any unforeseen external disturbances, mid-cap stocks will be less susceptible to losses than their large-cap counterparts owing to less international exposure.\nOn the other hand, if the crisis doesn’t worsen due to vaccination, these stocks will gain more than small caps due to established management teams, a broad distribution network, brand recognition and ready access to the capital markets.\nImportance of Consumer Discretionary Sector\nThe consumer discretionary sector comprises businesses that sell goods and services, which are considered non-essential by consumers. These are the products that consumers can avoid without any major consequences to their well-being. In fact, these goods are desirable only if the available income of an individual is sufficient to purchase them.\nU.S. retail sales rebounded in August after a sharp decline in July. Solid consumer spending defying the spread of the Delta variant has surprised many financial experts. The positive momentum is likely to continue as several market researchers have predicted strong holiday retail sales this year.\nPersonal savings of Americans are around an astonishing $2 trillion. The sky-high savings are allowing them to indulge in their demands that were pent up during lockdowns and are in turn compelling businesses to expand their scale of operations. In fact, higher inflationary pressure in the U.S. economy is primarily owing to massive aggregate demand.\nOur Top Picks\nWe have narrowed down our search to five mid-cap (market capital > $5 billion < $10 billion) consumer discretionary stocks that have strong growth potential for the rest of 2021.

On Sep 20, markets tumbled on concerns of a possible bankruptcy of a large Chinese property developer and its contagion effect on the global economy.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the high-valuation of equities, the spread of the Delta string of coronavirus and a section of market participants’ expectation that the Fed may signal tapering of its $120 billion per month bond-buy program starting this year have dented investors' confidence in this month. As a result, month to date, the three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have slid 3.9%, 3.6% and 3.6%, respectively.</p>\n<p>However, the fundamentals of the U.S. economy stay solid and the overall trend of the market remains encouraging. Year to date, the three large-cap-specific indexes — the Dow, the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have rallied 11%, 16% and 14.2%, respectively. The small-cap-centric Russell 2000 has gained 10.5%.&nbsp; However, the mid-cap-centric S&amp;P 400 has rallied 14.3%, second only to the S&amp;P 500.</p>\n<p>At this stage, it may be fruitful to invest in mid-cap consumer discretionary stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank to get good return in the near term.</p>\n<h3>Importance of Mid-Cap Stocks</h3>\n<p>Investment in mid-cap stocks is often recognized as a good portfolio diversification strategy. These stocks combine the attractive attributes of both small and large-cap stocks. Top-ranked mid-cap stocks have a high potential to enhance their profitability, productivity and market share. These may even become large caps in due course of time.</p>\n<p>If the economic recovery has slowed due to the spread of the Delta variant of coronavirus or any unforeseen external disturbances, mid-cap stocks will be less susceptible to losses than their large-cap counterparts owing to less international exposure.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, if the crisis doesn’t worsen due to vaccination, these stocks will gain more than small caps due to established management teams, a broad distribution network, brand recognition and ready access to the capital markets.</p>\n<h3>Importance of Consumer Discretionary Sector</h3>\n<p>The consumer discretionary sector comprises businesses that sell goods and services, which are considered non-essential by consumers. These are the products that consumers can avoid without any major consequences to their well-being. In fact, these goods are desirable only if the available income of an individual is sufficient to purchase them.</p>\n<p>U.S. retail sales rebounded in August after a sharp decline in July. Solid consumer spending defying the spread of the Delta variant has surprised many financial experts. The positive momentum is likely to continue as several market researchers have predicted strong holiday retail sales this year.</p>\n<p>Personal savings of Americans are around an astonishing $2 trillion. The sky-high savings are allowing them to indulge in their demands that were pent up during lockdowns and are in turn compelling businesses to expand their scale of operations. In fact, higher inflationary pressure in the U.S. economy is primarily owing to massive aggregate demand.</p>\n<h3>Our Top Picks</h3>\n<p>We have narrowed down our search to five mid-cap (market capital &gt; $5 billion &lt; $10 billion) consumer discretionary stocks that have strong growth potential for the rest of 2021.

On Sep 20, markets tumbled on concerns of a possible bankruptcy of a large Chinese property developer and its contagion effect on the global economy.\nAdditionally, the high-valuation of equities, the spread of the Delta string of coronavirus and a section of market participants’ expectation that the Fed may signal tapering of its $120 billion per month bond-buy program starting this year have dented investors' confidence in this month. As a result, month to date, the three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have slid 3.9%, 3.6% and 3.6%, respectively.\nHowever, the fundamentals of the U.S. economy stay solid and the overall trend of the market remains encouraging. Year to date, the three large-cap-specific indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have rallied 11%, 16% and 14.2%, respectively. The small-cap-centric Russell 2000 has gained 10.5%.  However, the mid-cap-centric S&P 400 has rallied 14.3%, second only to the S&P 500.\nAt this stage, it may be fruitful to invest in mid-cap consumer discretionary stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank to get good return in the near term.\nImportance of Mid-Cap Stocks\nInvestment in mid-cap stocks is often recognized as a good portfolio diversification strategy. These stocks combine the attractive attributes of both small and large-cap stocks. Top-ranked mid-cap stocks have a high potential to enhance their profitability, productivity and market share. These may even become large caps in due course of time.\nIf the economic recovery has slowed due to the spread of the Delta variant of coronavirus or any unforeseen external disturbances, mid-cap stocks will be less susceptible to losses than their large-cap counterparts owing to less international exposure.\nOn the other hand, if the crisis doesn’t worsen due to vaccination, these stocks will gain more than small caps due to established management teams, a broad distribution network, brand recognition and ready access to the capital markets.\nImportance of Consumer Discretionary Sector\nThe consumer discretionary sector comprises businesses that sell goods and services, which are considered non-essential by consumers. These are the products that consumers can avoid without any major consequences to their well-being. In fact, these goods are desirable only if the available income of an individual is sufficient to purchase them.\nU.S. retail sales rebounded in August after a sharp decline in July. Solid consumer spending defying the spread of the Delta variant has surprised many financial experts. The positive momentum is likely to continue as several market researchers have predicted strong holiday retail sales this year.\nPersonal savings of Americans are around an astonishing $2 trillion. The sky-high savings are allowing them to indulge in their demands that were pent up during lockdowns and are in turn compelling businesses to expand their scale of operations. In fact, higher inflationary pressure in the U.S. economy is primarily owing to massive aggregate demand.\nOur Top Picks\nWe have narrowed down our search to five mid-cap (market capital > $5 billion < $10 billion) consumer discretionary stocks that have strong growth potential for the rest of 2021.

On Sep 20, markets tumbled on concerns of a possible bankruptcy of a large Chinese property developer and its contagion effect on the global economy.\nAdditionally, the high-valuation of equities, the spread of the Delta string of coronavirus and a section of market participants’ expectation that the Fed may signal tapering of its $120 billion per month bond-buy program starting this year have dented investors' confidence in this month. As a result, month to date, the three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have slid 3.9%, 3.6% and 3.6%, respectively.\nHowever, the fundamentals of the U.S. economy stay solid and the overall trend of the market remains encouraging. Year to date, the three large-cap-specific indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — have rallied 11%, 16% and 14.2%, respectively. The small-cap-centric Russell 2000 has gained 10.5%.  However, the mid-cap-centric S&P 400 has rallied 14.3%, second only to the S&P 500.\nAt this stage, it may be fruitful to invest in mid-cap consumer discretionary stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank to get good return in the near term.\nImportance of Mid-Cap Stocks\nInvestment in mid-cap stocks is often recognized as a good portfolio diversification strategy. These stocks combine the attractive attributes of both small and large-cap stocks. Top-ranked mid-cap stocks have a high potential to enhance their profitability, productivity and market share. These may even become large caps in due course of time.\nIf the economic recovery has slowed due to the spread of the Delta variant of coronavirus or any unforeseen external disturbances, mid-cap stocks will be less susceptible to losses than their large-cap counterparts owing to less international exposure.\nOn the other hand, if the crisis doesn’t worsen due to vaccination, these stocks will gain more than small caps due to established management teams, a broad distribution network, brand recognition and ready access to the capital markets.\nImportance of Consumer Discretionary Sector\nThe consumer discretionary sector comprises businesses that sell goods and services, which are considered non-essential by consumers. These are the products that consumers can avoid without any major consequences to their well-being. In fact, these goods are desirable only if the available income of an individual is sufficient to purchase them.\nU.S. retail sales rebounded in August after a sharp decline in July. Solid consumer spending defying the spread of the Delta variant has surprised many financial experts. The positive momentum is likely to continue as several market researchers have predicted strong holiday retail sales this year.\nPersonal savings of Americans are around an astonishing $2 trillion. The sky-high savings are allowing them to indulge in their demands that were pent up during lockdowns and are in turn compelling businesses to expand their scale of operations. In fact, higher inflationary pressure in the U.S. economy is primarily owing to massive aggregate demand.\nOur Top Picks\nWe have narrowed down our search to five mid-cap (market capital > $5 billion < $10 billion) consumer discretionary stocks that have strong growth potential for the rest of 2021.
