Wednesday, April 24, 10:48 AM The rough patch hit by Procter & Gamble in emerging markets isn't giving unnoticed by some of its peers with Kimberly-Clark (KMB -1.2%), Colgate-Palmolive (CL -1.7%), and Clorox (CLX -1.5%) all showing weakness. ETF watch: Is the frothy run of consumer staple ETFs (XLP, FXG, VDC) at risk of running out of steam as sector rotation picks up? 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, March 27, 8:39 AM Has the rally in consumer staples (XLP) stocks run its course? A group of large well-known defensive stocks have been on the offensive in 2013 with all-time highs falling left and right to stretch some valuations beyond historic norms. Though upgrades on the sector are still piling in, skeptics are advising investors to tread carefully. On watch: PG, CLX, KO, K, GIS, CL, BUD, EL. 3 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, March 26, 12:29 PM Household stocks look attractive despite the broad run higher of a number of defensive-oriented stocks to all-time highs. In general, the sector is taking a two-pronged approach: cost-cutting in developed markets with key acquisitions and production innovation to stoke emerging market growth. It doesn't hurt that attractive dividend yields are drawing in new income-starved investors. Names to watch: Colgate-Palmolive (CL +2%), Kimberly-Clark (KMB +2.2%), Procter & Gamble (PG +0.8%), and Clorox (CLX +0.9%). 3 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
Monday, March 25, 7:24 AM Colgate-Palmolive India plans to sell a division to parent company Colgate-Palmolive (CL) for 598.9M rupees ($11.1M). The company didn't outline a reason for the switch but the timing is interesting with the retail landscape in India set to change. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Friday, March 15, 2:53 PM Consumer wrapup: An improved jobs situation and a break upward in the value of houses seems to be trumping higher payroll taxes as consumers continue to spend more than some of the more dire forecasts for the first half of 2012 foreshadowed. By sector, Staples (XLP), Discretionary (XLY), and Retail (XRT) are all double-digit gainers for the year, while defensive-oriented plays (PG, CLX, CL, REV, GIS) have been busy tracking higher. A couple of retail powerhouses - Wal-Mart (WMT) and TJX Companies (TJX) - haven't joined the 2013 frivolity just yet and the department store group (M, SKS, DDS, JWN, KSS, JCP) has lagged. Comment!

Friday, March 15, 7:08 AM Morgan Stanley downgrades Colgate-Palmolive (CL) to an Equal-Weight rating. The ratings action from the firm follows recent chatter that defensive names in the market may have been bid up too high. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, March 14, 10:31 AM Are shares of Procter & Gamble (PG +0.7%) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB +0.6%) poised to cool off for a while after helping lead the market run? The pair - along with other defensive names (GIS, CPB, CL) - may be played out as investors stretch out their risk profile, according to traders. Comment! [Consumer]
