The market rally continued into May as companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) reported blowout <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45137383/microsoft-rallies-after-crushing-q3-earnings-goldman-sachs-lifts-target-to-480">Q1 earnings</a>. But while stocks reclaimed their pre-Liberation Day highs, sour sentiment and uncertainty continue to bleed into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">survey data</a>.
Investors caught between the market rebound and declining sentiment may prefer to park their cash in sectors where product demand and market sentiment are less volatile, such as consumer staples.
Consumer staples stocks are resilient during downturns due to their focus on essential goods that people need regardless of economic conditions. This protects these firms from drastic revenue declines. Many also possess pricing power, allowing them to pass tariff costs to consumers without significant pushback.
Today, we'll look at five companies in the consumer staples space that offer strong dividends and high growth potential.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interparfums Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
If your significant other has a favorite scent, there's a good chance Interparfums (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPAR#NYSE">IPAR</a>) had a hand in making it. The France-based fragrance firm makes colognes and perfumes for brands like Donna Karan, Kate Spade, Coach, Guess, Montblanc, Ferragamo, and more. Interparfums reported $1.45 billion in sales over the past 12 months and currently has a market capitalization of over $3.5 billion.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfOkma81-NTsApMIrtB1h37fir3zuZonotn9P4VHmyeGtE9VkFeAKehONFUln4YuZ3eEFsDWEkpsK-glcgCjLmhdKCSYWwewM3Xgs2btvofHcoxyD_gn_NDoNkxFinGPg0vfidy?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
IPAR currently yields 2.93% with a dividend payout ratio (DPR) of 63%, meaning that 63% of profits are allocated to dividend payments. Over 60% of profits going to a dividend may sound high, but consumer staples aren't growth-oriented firms and often return substantial chunks of earnings to shareholders. IPAR recently raised its quarterly dividend payout from $0.75 per share to $0.80 and reported 64% gross margins in the most recent earnings report. These figures indicate a strong dividend and the ability to absorb short-term tariff pressures. Additionally, the daily stock chart shows evidence of a trend reversal after a 22% decline in the preceding three months. IPAR has a high Benzinga Edge Quality score of 91.01 and reports its 2025 Q1 earnings on May 5.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">J.M. Smucker Co.&nbsp;</h2>
If you have young children, you've likely familiarized yourself with Uncrustables, the prepackaged sandwich treats sweeping elementary school cafeterias and Little League baseball diamonds. Uncrustables come from food giant J.M. Smucker Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SJM#NYSE">SJM</a>), famous for its peanut butter and jelly. It also owns popular brands like Hostess, Folgers, Cafe Bustelo, Meow Mix, and Milk-Bone.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcfrFUcx03Ik9f-jz_NciLyClXb1QDzsyELB_8T3zP7J9oXcuZ_tqnL_xfxZiMvvPC_ZsbwE6YusYAxvg3Wbnjppa2-fgAPYGMifVnETbjn_JRNMOqGLfkunUwWFAocf55mDd3NJQ?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
SJM's dividend payout rate is beyond 100% this quarter due to a one-time impairment charge that affected earnings, but this charge blurs an otherwise sturdy dividend. SJM currently yields 3.72%, and the forward DPR based on 2026 estimates is just 41%. The company is also a Dividend Aristocrat, meaning it has increased its annual payout for at least 25 consecutive years (SJM has been raising its payout for 27 years now). SJM reported 36% gross margins in its most recent conference call, and the chart shows a potential Golden Cross forming as the 50-day moving average converges with the 200-day moving average.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">United Breweries Co.&nbsp;</h2>
United Breweries Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCU#NYSE">CCU</a>) is a Chilean-based wine and spirits manufacturer known as Compañía Cervecerias Unidas in South America (hence the CCU stock ticker). The company operates primarily in South America, producing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages under its own name and through popular brands such as Heineken, Guinness, Pepsi, and Keurig. CCU doesn't need to worry about tariffs, as the company doesn't export to the United States. However, U.S. investors can still earn income from its durable dividend.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc6QuCfT64RbCmD6Za-lXtzz7EKsSt2aKYpZnAV8nXs3c5AlZkMZoVImhyJcZ6-kR-qmTpyf1Sl47cf5xxFniaipnXDTLKQDXR29mHNDQRZqteElswwRxjn0HtXy8c5BXPvXq0CFQ?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
CCU's stock has a dividend yield of 3% with an amenable 28% DPR, indicating a resilient payout. The company also has strong margins for a food and beverage maker, with 45% gross margins in its most recent earnings report. Benzinga Edge rates the stock 99.42 in Quality and 92.45 in Value, the highest figures for any company on our list today. The daily chart is also a thing of beauty, with the price firmly above the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) still well below the overbought threshold of 70.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Diageo plc ADR&nbsp;</h2>
It's been a rough road lately for the English alcohol behemoth Diageo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>), which counts Johnny Walker, Crown Royal, Don Julio, Ketel One, Bailey's, and Smirnoff among its most popular brands. DEO stock was a top performer following the COVID crash in 2020, going from a March 2020 low of $102 to $222 by the first week of 2022.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd6xmvco1-VofOa0YmRHYSHbswarzBdZ6C7-zRP77odB6DOHn-bGM41tVQSH23appZSVfPpFGkmmN49Mwom0xyO9bgfeb5Bs9Bv_xHhX18j5k87Hmup6xU717y4lBW4CJbxQojL?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
The stock has returned to that 2020 low, but this could finally be a turning point for the beleaguered beverage maker. The chart above shows a distinct long-term double bottom; the stock bounced off that level almost immediately. DEO shares have returned 7% over the last month, and fundamentals indicate that more gains could be ahead. The company posted gross margins of 60% in its most recent earnings release, and the stock yields 3.7% with a DPR of just 46%. Analysts rate the stock as a consensus Buy with an average price target of $180, indicating tremendous upside potential from current levels. Optimism could finally be sinking in at Diageo after a 50% haircut over the last two-plus years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Education Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Strategic Education (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRA#NASDAQ">STRA</a>) operates private colleges and universities, such as Strayer, Capella, and Torrens, and offers online post-secondary educational programs. STRA shares saw a massive uptick during the pandemic as online education gained market share, but they dropped to multi-year lows in 2022 amidst declining revenue and shrinking margins.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdu1he7ZzwaHdzCJgxkVgpZ5vx4ZBR0A3ldQSCehzjbjpGoqoRz2WUqt3oKhnFAteEO5EUyF-lP5VXj9Pt7XrIIfGMoodp6NkBUVWNjL3gI-FikEWm-X7dNS-m80xpep1CP5C9D3g?key=T5If8DzUP6CFypYMGIowJsn4" alt="" /></figure>
STRA shares could be approaching a multi-year support level, as shown in the chart above. This fact, along with a safe dividend, makes this an attractive stock for income investors. The dividend yield is 2.94% with a 51% DPR, and the company has grown revenue for four consecutive quarters. Additionally, profit margins are back above 9% for the first time since the pandemic, with 47% gross margins, and the stock trades at just 17 times earnings.

Shares of consumer staple companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

As of March 20, 2025, two stocks in the consumer staples sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered overbought when the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi"> RSI is above 70</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Here's the latest list of major overbought players in this sector.

Earnings Scheduled For February 25, 2025

Players in the Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/beverages-alcohol-19">Beverages &ndash; Alcohol</a> industry are grappling with rising costs, driven by inflationary pressures on labor, transportation and raw materials. Higher ingredient prices, shipping expenses and packaging costs have strained margins, while increased spending on advertising, promotions and operations challenges profitability. These cost pressures are expected to persist in the near term. Meanwhile, the newly imposed tariffs by President Donald Trump are set to disrupt the U.S. beverage alcohol market. The tariffs are expected to drive up prices for imported brands, potentially reducing consumer demand and straining supply chains.
Despite these challenges, the alcohol industry is experiencing strong growth, fueled by premiumization, as consumers seek distinctive, high-quality beverages. Trending segments like RTD spirits, canned wine and cocktails, hard seltzers, cider, and flavored malt beverages are reshaping the market. To stay ahead, brands are prioritizing innovation and product development to align with shifting consumer preferences. Strategic investments in premiumization, technology and product innovation are positioning key players like Molson Coors TAP, The Boston Beer Company Inc. SAM and Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a Cervecer&iacute;as Unidas CCU for sustained growth and success.
About the Industry
The Zacks Beverages &ndash; Alcohol industry mainly comprises producers, importers, exporters, marketers and sellers of alcoholic beverages like beer, craft beer, ciders, wine, rum, whiskey, liqueurs, vodka, tequila, champagnes, brandy, amaretto, RTD cocktails and malt. Some industry players also produce and sell non-alcoholic beverages like carbonated soft drinks, sparkling waters, bottled water, energy drinks, powdered and natural juices, and RTD teas. The companies sell products through wholesalers and retailers like supermarkets, warehouse clubs, grocery stores, convenience stores, package stores, drug stores and other retail outlets. The industry participants also sell beer directly to consumers in cans and bottles at restaurants, pubs, bars and liquor stores. Some brewers operate brewpubs or taste rooms at breweries, offering consumers the freshest beer.
What&#39;s Shaping the Future of Beverages - Alcohol Industry
Elevated Costs: The alcohol industry continues to face significant cost pressures due to inflationary impacts on labor, transportation and raw materials. Rising ingredient costs, particularly for grains and fruits, along with increased expenses for shipping, trucking, fuel, co-packing and packaging materials, have driven up production and operating costs. These challenges have weighed on the gross and operating margins, making profitability more difficult to sustain.
Beyond rising input and packaging costs, beverage companies are dealing with higher advertising, promotional and SG&amp;A expenses. Increased investments in brand marketing, media, local promotions, and production, coupled with growing freight costs due to higher volumes, are adding to the financial strain. Rising compensation and discretionary spending are contributing to SG&amp;A deleverage. Many industry players expect these cost pressures to persist in the near term, challenging profitability.
Potential Tariff Impacts: President Donald Trump&#39;s newly imposed tariffs are set to have a significant impact on the U.S. beverage alcohol industry, affecting pricing, supply chains, international trade and consumer behavior. The policy includes a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on China goods, driving up costs for imported alcoholic beverages, such as Johnnie Walker whisky and Corona beer. As importers pass these higher costs onto consumers, retail prices are expected to rise, dampening demand. Additionally, the tariffs could disrupt supply chains, forcing companies to reassess sourcing strategies, which may lead to product shortages, delays and increased operational expenses. With reduced availability and rising prices, consumers may shift to alternative products or cut back on purchases, ultimately impacting industry sales and profitability.
Premiumization &amp; Product Diversification: Premiumization continues to drive growth in the alcohol sector as consumers seek unique and refreshing flavors. Beverage companies are expanding their portfolios to meet rising demand for premium and high-end products. The market is evolving with a surge in craft spirits, low-alcohol and non-alcoholic options, pushing brands beyond traditional categories like beer, whiskey, spirits and wine. Trending segments now include RTD spirits, canned wine and cocktails, hard seltzers, cider and flavored malt beverages. To stay competitive, companies are prioritizing innovation and product development to align with shifting consumer preferences.
Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Dull Prospects
The Zacks Beverages &ndash; Alcohol industry is a 17-stock group within the broader Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/sector/consumer-staples-1">Consumer Staples</a> sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #233, placing it at the bottom 6% of more than 250 Zacks industries.
The group&#39;s <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industries/">Zacks Industry Rank</a>, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates dull near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
The industry&#39;s positioning in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of a negative earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are gradually losing confidence in this group&#39;s earnings growth potential.
Before we present a few stocks that you may want to consider for your portfolio, let us take a look at the industry&#39;s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.
Industry Underperforms S&amp;P 500
The Zacks Beverages &ndash; Alcohol industry has underperformed the broader sector and the S&amp;P 500 in the past year.

Beverages - Alcohol Industry&#39;s Valuation
Based on the forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, commonly used for valuing Consumer Staples stocks, the industry is currently trading at 13.89X compared with the S&amp;P 500&#39;s 22.52X and the sector&#39;s 16.84X.
