Consumer defensive stocks can add some stability to a portfolio, as they tend to hold up relatively well during downturns while also participating in rising markets.
The sector's relatively sleepy return over the past year led me to wonder if there are any high-quality bargains there. To find competitively advantaged stocks in the sector, I screened all the stocks from the sector and included those with attractive equity story, valuation, and growth figures.
Below are some highlights from our research reports of the companies.

Because investing for longer periods has proven to outperform shorter periods of trading in and out of stocks, we asked us to give us their best ideas of stocks to buy in multi-decade portfolios.
These are the five stocks that came in our minds...
Oversold Dividend Growth Stocks As Buying Opportunity? Check out These 11 Stocks
This allows you to purchase more shares, which creates more income and a greater underlying earnings claim. Personally when I see lower prices, that’s when I tend to get more interested.
It's a first step to discover those stocks that might get cheaper but you need to discover carefully if there is a reason for the cheapness.
Attached you will find a selection of stocks from the dividend growth space that become cheaper over the recent year.
Here are the stocks I'm talking from...
This Handful Of Stocks Have Serious Upside Potential In 2016
Equity investors should consider companies with strong balance sheets that will outperform those with weak balance sheets. That's my key investing rule for the next year 2015.Divergent monetary policies will strengthen the U.S. dollar and benefit some stocks and harm others.
The domestic consumer economy is strong but many industrial companies
cite a contraction in business activity.
Growth equities are outperforming value which is a pattern that occurs
when economic growth is weak.
Cyclical stocks have lagged sharply led by Energy and Materials but
defensive sectors trade at stretched valuations.
As a result, stocks with high sales in the U.S. will outperform those
with significant international sales.
Attached you can find 14 stocks that might benefit from the current
market environment. Each of the results has a strong balance sheet, growth
forecasts above the GDP Growth and margin improvement potential.
Only stocks from the S&P 500 are part of my screen.

82 Shareholder Friendly Stocks of the Week
Below
are the top dividend growth stocks and share buyback companies of the week. On
the list are some pretty good yielding stocks. Big names like Starbucks,
Emerson Electric or Honeywell.
AIG, Motorola and Royal Caribbean Cruises are the
biggest stocks with a fresh buyback announcement during the past week.
Cheap is a question of growth. A faster growing
company can be higher valuated. Only 17 of the stocks have a forward P/E of
less than 15.

5 Top Dividend Stocks With No Debt But High Cash On Balance Sheet
For sure, it’s not much because the stock has only a portfolio share of around one percent but I've bought this share in hopes to get a stable output or a rising long-term dividend with low taxation.
Recently I wrote
about stocks that have lower debt amounts on their balance sheets. I made this with thoughts in my mind to avoid a future dividend
cut.
Today I
will strengthen my criteria and tighten the focus on stocks with no debt and
high cash amounts. That's the highest level of safeness every investor could
reach.
I found the
graphic on US Today with some interesting stocks in terms of cash and debt (look at the end of this article).
The list shows 26 U.S. stocks with no debt! There are more available on the market but those are some of the biggest and you might know them.

Cash is king and
large capitalization too. I love big capitalized stocks because of their good business diversification. Those stocks have often a well diversified product portfolio
and great sales teams all over the world.
Big companies also have more money for research and development and offer more money and social benefits to the best talented people in the world.

If one country or
currency suffers, a different one can eliminate the problems with sales growth.
No every problem can be solved so easy but investors have a better chance to make a good return.
No debt could also mean more money for shareholders (Dividends or Share Buybacks) or a higher growth.
The company can invest into the future by acquisitions or product investments.
In the end, everything
is a question of the ability of the management team; a good team can boost the
company while a bad head can bring them down.
Below are five of my favorite stocks with no debt and high cash mountains.
