🚀 Momentum Pulse Check: Which Consumer Defensive Stock Has the Best Trend?

I evaluated the long-term trend strength of 10 stocks within the Consumer Defensive sector, using my proprietary "Momentum Pulse Check", which scores trends based on the 9- and 30-week EMAs (out of 5 stars):

✅ Price above both EMAs

✅ EMA 9 > EMA 30

✅ Both EMAs rising

= Strong trend

Here’s what my momentum model shows:

1️⃣  Uptrend:

• $BUD (AB Inbev): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• $MNST (Monster Beverage): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• $WMT (Walmart): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• $KO (Coca-Cola Co): ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

• $MO (Altria Group): ⭐⭐⭐☆☆

• $COST (Costco): ⭐⭐⭐☆☆

• $CL (Colgate-Palmolive): ⭐⭐⭐☆☆

2️⃣ Sideways:

• $PEP (PepsiCo): ⭐⭐☆☆☆

3️⃣ Downtrend:

• $MDLZ (Mondelez): ⭐☆☆☆☆

• $PG (Procter & Gamble):  ⭐☆☆☆☆

⚙️ In short: While everyone’s watching Tech, Consumer Defensive has quietly built momentum all January, and it may just be the beginning. Leaders are already trending strong, but staples like $PEP and $PG still need to join the party.
