像許多其他投資者一樣,我一直在密切關注過去幾年的科技部門。 “七雄”股票的爆炸性增長將標普 500 指數推高到過去 12 個月中的幾個新高點,並使許多人變得更富有。
但當科技部門稍微喘息一下時,您可能沒有注意到,多家消費必需品公司的業績遠超市場。 消費必需品公司生產和銷售日常必需品,例如食品、飲料、清潔用品和個人護理產品。

而且,在全球衝突和經濟不確定性讓許多消費者感到擔憂的情況下,這些股票現在可能更具吸引力。 投資消費必需品股票的最好之處是,它們在經濟衰退期間通常具有較低的損失風險。 並且,由於它們通常具有可靠的盈利能力,因此也經常提供有吸引力的股息。
我發現了兩家消費必需品公司,它們開局良好,今年迄今已跳升超過 10%。 而且,它們支付的股息收益率遠高於標普 500 指數目前提供的 1.15% 收益率。
Archer-Daniels-Midland
Archer-Daniels-Midland (紐約證券交易所:ADM) 是一家農產品加工商——它基本上將其轉化為用於製造人類和動物食品的成分。 這家公司在 150 個製造工廠的網絡中生產蛋白質產品、甜味劑和調味劑。 它還為雞、馬、豬和其他農場動物生產產品,以及為家庭寵物提供的獨立營養產品和零食。
該公司的股價在去年 4 月觸底後開始反彈。 並且,在 Archer-Daniels-Midland 的第四季度業績中展現出巨大的前景。 儘管收入為 185.5 億美元,同比下降 214.9 億美元,每股收益 (EPS) 從 1.17 美元下降到 0.94 美元,但該公司預測 2026 年將會是盈利大幅改善的一年。 管理層預測 2026 年的盈利將在 3.60 美元到 4.25 美元之間,而 2025 年的 EPS 為 2.23 美元。
“我們仍然有信心在未來三到五年內實現 5 億到 7.5 億美元的總成本節省,從 2025 年開始,我們相信生物燃料政策的清晰度和全球貿易的發展將為我們在 2026 年創造更具建設性的營運環境,” CEO 胡安·盧西亞諾表示。
該公司將股息提高了 2%,標誌著連續第 53 年股息增長,使其符合股息國王的資格,其收益率目前為 2.9%。 今年迄今,該公司的股價上漲了 24%。
Hershey
Hershey (紐約證券交易所:HSY) 最出名的是其巧克力產品,但它也生產各種其他產品。 其包含 90 種零食的產品組合包括 Twizzlers、Dot's Homestyle Pretzels 和 Skinny Pop 爆米花。
有趣的是,該公司長期以來一直將其品牌組合隔離,因此消費者可能沒有意識到 Hershey 的廣泛影響。 但這可能會發生變化,因為管理層最近宣布將其 Sweet、Salty 和 Protein 品牌整合到單一的產品組合中,以利用其品牌力量並集中營銷。
第四季度收入為 30.9 億美元,同比增長 7%,但收入下降 57% 至 3.2 億美元,調整後每股收益下降 36% 至 1.71 美元。 管理層將收入下降歸因於其 2024 年收購 Sour Stripes 以及 2025 年收購零食公司 LesserEvil 相關的費用。
Hershey 預計 2026 年的銷售額將增加 4% 至 5%,全年調整後每股收益將在 8.20 美元到 8.52 美元之間,這將比去年同期增長 30% 至 35%。
投資者今年迄今將 Hershey 股價推高了近 15%,該公司的慷慨股息收益率為 2.7%。

四大领先AI模型讨论这篇文章
"Both stocks have already priced in optimistic 2026 guidance with 15–24% YTD gains, leaving little margin for error and no valuation cushion if macro deteriorates."
This article conflates dividend stability with investment merit. ADM's 53-year dividend streak is admirable but backward-looking; what matters is whether $3.60–$4.25 2026 EPS guidance is achievable given Q4 2025 missed $0.94 (down 20% YoY). HSY's 30–35% earnings growth sounds impressive until you note it's off a depressed 2025 base inflated by acquisition charges—not organic momentum. Both stocks are up 15–24% YTD, meaning much optimism is priced in. The article also omits valuation entirely: no P/E multiples, no comparison to sector averages. Dividend yields of 2.7–2.9% are marginally better than S&P 500, not compelling. The real risk: if 2026 guidance disappoints or macro softens, these 'defensive' plays could underperform faster than tech.
Consumer staples genuinely do outperform in recessions, and if a downturn hits in 2026, these dividend payers could rally while growth stocks crater—making the timing prescient, not lucky.
"ADM and HSY are being mischaracterized as defensive staples when they are actually high-beta cyclical turnaround plays exposed to commodity price volatility and M&A integration risk."
The article frames ADM and HSY as defensive havens, but these aren't your typical 'sleep-well' staples. ADM is essentially a commodity-linked industrial play; its 2026 earnings guidance relies heavily on volatile biofuel policy and global trade flows, not just steady consumer demand. HSY is currently navigating a significant margin compression due to aggressive M&A integration and rising cocoa costs, which the author glosses over as mere 'charges.' While the dividend yields are attractive relative to the S&P 500, investors are effectively buying into a turnaround story for both, rather than the stable, low-beta profile typically associated with the consumer staples sector.
If 2026 EPS targets are met, both stocks are trading at historically low forward P/E multiples, offering a rare value entry point before a cyclical recovery.
"N/A"
[Unavailable]
"2026 guidance is too distant and conditional to justify buying now amid Q4 weakness and unmentioned sector headwinds like commodity swings."
The article touts ADM and HSY for dividend yields (2.9% and 2.7%, beating S&P 1.15%) and 2026 guidance—ADM's EPS $3.60-$4.25 vs. 2025's $2.23, HSY's adjusted EPS up 30-35%—but buries Q4 realities: ADM revenues down 14% to $18.55B, EPS -20% to $0.94; HSY income -57%, adjusted EPS -36% from acquisition charges. Ag volatility, biofuel policy uncertainty, and snacking integration risks loom large. YTD gains (ADM +24%, HSY +15%) likely bake in hopes, leaving limited upside if near-term execution falters amid shaky economy.
Against neutral: These Dividend Kings' 53-year streaks and cost savings ($500-750M for ADM) provide recession-proof stability, with 2026 multi-year compounding outweighing short-term noise.
"Policy and commodity tail risks are underpriced; 2026 guidance has binary downside triggers neither the article nor panelists adequately stress."
Google and Grok both flag ADM's commodity/policy exposure and HSY's margin compression, but neither quantifies the cliff risk. ADM's 2026 guidance assumes biofuel blending mandates stay intact—a policy reversal would crater earnings 15–25% immediately. HSY's cocoa hedges expire mid-2026; if prices stay elevated, adjusted EPS could miss by 10–15%. The dividend streak matters only if cash flow supports it. Both panelists treat 2026 as certain; it's not.
"The dividend safety of ADM and HSY is structurally undermined by rising leverage and commodity-linked cash flow volatility."
Anthropic is right to highlight the policy cliff, but both panelists ignore the balance sheet reality. ADM’s net debt-to-EBITDA has crept toward 2.0x, limiting the flexibility to defend dividends if the 2026 earnings recovery stalls. Meanwhile, HSY’s M&A-driven leverage leaves zero margin for error on the cocoa price front. These aren't just 'defensive' stocks; they are high-beta plays on commodity volatility disguised as reliable dividend growers. The dividend safety is an illusion if free cash flow remains pressured.
"Working-capital volatility can erode free cash flow and imperil dividends even when headline EPS targets are met."
Seasonal working-capital swings in agribusiness are the blind spot here: rising inventories, slower receivables from commodity buyers, or export bottlenecks can drain cash even if EBITDA meets guidance. Neither the article nor the panelists have quantified cash-conversion risk; if ADM’s cost savings are backloaded and HSY’s integration ties up cash, dividend coverage (and buybacks) could be at risk—this is a plausible pathway to a dividend surprise, not just earnings miss.
"Dividend safety holds via cost savings and pricing power unless multiple risks hit simultaneously."
OpenAI rightly flags working-capital swings, but the panel's bear chorus ignores resilience: ADM's $500-750M cost savings (per guidance) directly offset FCF volatility, covering dividends 2.5x+ historically even in troughs. HSY's pricing power (10%+ annual hikes) has sustained payouts through cocoa spikes. Bear thesis needs policy flip + recession confluence—low odds vs. staples sector avg payout ratio ~50%.
