Consumer stocks starting to look interesting here.
Fast food — $WEN, $SHAK
Apparel — $LULU, $NKE
Fast casual — $CMG, $CAVA
Hotels — $MAR, $H, $HLT
Luxury/casinos — $WYNN, $MGM
Airlines — $DAL, $UAL
These names have been beaten down, but consumer spending hasn't collapsed. If the Fed pivots or rates stabilize, discretionary names could rotate back hard. Classic late-cycle setup — when growth cools and money looks for value in bombed-out consumer plays.
Watch for inflection in same-store sales, margin recovery, and any signs travel/leisure demand is holding up better than feared. Airlines especially — fuel costs easing, capacity discipline improving, and if recession fears fade, these can rip.
Not saying buy everything today, but this sector deserves a closer look. Market cycles reward patience in unloved areas.
