Elon’s Out. Trump’s DOGE Payouts
Keep Flowing (Up to $32K a Year)

Trump just blasted Musk on national TV — saying he’s “lost his mind” — even hinting he might sell the red Tesla Musk once gave him.

The feud is exploding.

But while Musk storms out, the program he helped build with Trump — DOGE — is still cranking out payouts.

And instead of lining the pockets of Washington elites, this money is flowing straight to everyday Americans.

• Up to $8,276 every 3 months
• Federal workers banned
• Start today with just $10 & 5 minutes

This isn’t a one-time gimmick. These payouts keep coming quarter after quarter — adding up to as much as $32,000 a year in extra income.

Trump vs. Musk drama won’t stop DOGE payouts — and the next round is already scheduled.

5 Defensive Consumer Plays to Watch If Markets Keep Slipping

Written by Ryan Hasson. Published 11/10/2025. 

Key Points

• Last week, the market showed its first meaningful signs of weakness since May, with SPY breaking its 50-day SMA and several tech leaders selling off sharply.
• If volatility persists, capital may shift into consumer defensive stocks such as Walmart, Tyson, General Mills, Kraft Heinz, and Campbell Soup, which offer stability, yield, or value.
• Several of these names are deeply discounted and oversold, and a technical shift, such as reclaiming key moving averages, could signal the start of a defensive rebound.

For the first time since May, the S&P 500’s most widely followed benchmark, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), briefly traded below its 50-day moving average last week. The index reclaimed that level and bounced, but still closed the week down 1.63%. What stood out even more was sharp weakness across several of the market’s biggest leaders. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is down more than 15% month-to-date ahead of Monday’s open, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) has fallen more than 11% from its 52-week high, and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is off more than 10% from its peak and nearly 5% on the month.

There are several possible catalysts behind the weakness. Profit-taking after record highs is always a factor, but recent macro headlines likely contributed as well. Concerns about a lengthy government shutdown and its impact on the economy and travel intensified after widespread flight disruptions last week. Labor-market data added pressure too — October saw the worst month for layoffs since 2003. Comments from NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang raised uncertainty after he suggested China could surpass the U.S. in AI, and investors are watching a key Supreme Court ruling on tariffs that could require the U.S. to refund more than $1 trillion in revenue if it goes against the administration.

Regardless of the causes, one fact is clear: fear has risen, leaders have pulled back, and the market has begun to show cracks. If that weakness extends into year-end and potentially into the first quarter of the new year, investors may seek protection in defensive sectors. Consumer staples and defensive consumer names tend to hold up better when volatility rises because their demand is relatively stable — food, beverages, household goods, and discount retail continue to generate revenue even in weaker markets.

That said, it has not been an easy year for many consumer staple companies. Pressure on purchasing power, persistent inflation, brand fatigue, ingredient-conscious consumers, and shifting behavior have weighed on sales. Several large staples companies have reported weak quarterly results and offered soft guidance. Still, markets often bottom before macro data improves. When sentiment in a defensive sector becomes extremely negative, capital frequently rotates back in before headlines turn positive.

If that rotation begins, here are five consumer defensive stocks investors may want to keep an eye on.

Walmart: A Defensive Giant That Thrives in Risk-Off Markets

Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) remains one of the most reliable defensive holdings in the U.S. equity market. With an $817 billion market cap and a consistent dividend yield, the stock is a mainstay in defensive portfolios and a component of both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500. The reason is straightforward: Walmart primarily sells necessities, not luxuries, and its model emphasizes essential goods at lower prices — a clear advantage during economic uncertainty.

About 60% of Walmart’s revenue comes from groceries and household necessities. When markets weaken and consumers cut discretionary spending, they still buy food, cleaning supplies, healthcare items, and other essentials. That predictable spending pattern gives Walmart a stability many growth names lack.

Technically, the stock remains resilient. For most of the year it has traded in an ascending consolidation near its all-time highs, roughly 6% below peak levels. Last week, while the broader market finished sharply in the red, Walmart gained 1.39% and held above short-term support zones — the kind of relative strength investors seek in defensive positioning. If volatility remains elevated and capital rotates into staples, Walmart’s steady uptrend could reaccelerate to new highs.

Tyson Foods: Yield, Value, and a Potential Turnaround Setup

Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) has underperformed the broader consumer staples sector this year. Shares are down year-to-date, and the stock has struggled amid soft sentiment across food producers. That selling pressure, however, has created an opportunity that value-focused, income-oriented, and defensive investors may notice.

Tyson now offers a dividend yield of 3.78%, a trailing P/E of 24 and a forward P/E of 14. That discounted valuation, paired with meaningful yield, positions it as a potential turnaround candidate if capital rotates back into staples. The company is set to report earnings on November 10, and investors will watch for quarter-over-quarter performance, guidance, and commentary on pricing power and demand trends.

Analysts remain neutral with a Hold rating, but the consensus price target of $60.92 implies more than 15% upside from current levels. That potential gain becomes more attractive when combined with the dividend. Still, the stock will need to show technical improvement: Tyson has traded below its 50-day moving average during the recent downtrend, and the first sign of a shift would be a move back above that level near $56. If that happens and the consumer staples sector strengthens, Tyson could begin forming a base.

For now, it remains a watch-list name for investors seeking yield, valuation support, and defensive exposure.

General Mills: Oversold, High-Yield and Approaching Potential Value Territory

General Mills Inc. (NYSE: GIS) has experienced one of the most significant selloffs in the consumer staples space this year. The stock has dropped more than 26% year-to-date, pushing the dividend yield up to 5.16% and cutting the P/E ratio to 8.88. Those metrics are unusual for a well-established, multinational food producer that typically generates consistent free cash flow.

The weakness stems from soft sales trends, brand fatigue, and weaker consumer sentiment across packaged foods. The most recent quarterly results showed a 6.8% year-over-year sales decline, and the stock has fallen to levels not seen since 2019. Yet analysts have not abandoned the name. Based on 19 ratings, the stock holds a consensus Hold rating, and price targets imply more than 19% upside from current levels.

If markets continue to weaken and capital flows back into defensive, high-yield names, GIS could be a beneficiary. Technically, the price action is deeply oversold. The first level to watch is a reclaim of the 50-day SMA, with the $50 to $52 range marking a key potential reversal zone. If buyers defend that area and push the stock back above resistance, the extreme valuation could attract long-term investors seeking stability, income, and potential recovery.

Kraft Heinz: Under Pressure, But Value and Yield Could Draw Buyers

Kraft Heinz Co. (NASDAQ: KHC) has struggled this year, falling more than 20% and lagging both the broader market and the consumer staples benchmark. Sales disappointments have driven much of the weakness: the company missed revenue estimates in three of the last four quarters. The result has been a sharp valuation reset. Kraft Heinz now trades at about 9.67x forward earnings and offers a lofty 6.59% dividend yield.

Analysts are mixed, with a consensus Reduce rating, but the average price target still implies roughly 9.5% upside. That suggests valuation may be nearing a point where selling pressure could slow. The company’s recent earnings report highlighted a challenging consumer environment: Kraft Heinz topped EPS expectations but missed on revenue and lowered annual sales and profit forecasts, citing resistance to higher prices for snacks and condiments.

Management also announced plans to split the company into two businesses by 2026 — one focused on grocery and the other on sauces and spreads — aiming for simplification, operational efficiency, and improved brand focus. If restructuring progresses and capital returns to defensive, income-oriented names, Kraft Heinz could start to show signs of life. For now, the stock remains discounted, high-yielding, and sensitive to sector rotation, and it is worth monitoring in the months ahead.

Campbell’s: Value, Yield, and a Potential Bottoming Setup

Campbell Soup Company (NASDAQ: CPB) is a household name, though the business looks different than it did a decade ago. Soup now accounts for just 27% of total sales, down from more than 40% in 2017, while snacks have grown to more than 40% of the business. The company has emphasized supply-chain efficiency and brand investment to reposition itself for long-term competitiveness.

Valuation is a primary attraction for income and defensive investors. Campbell’s carries a 5.07% dividend yield, a P/E of 15.3, and a forward P/E of 11.63. The most recent earnings report showed modest progress: the company posted EPS of $0.62, beating expectations of $0.57, while revenue grew 1.2% year-over-year to $2.32 billion, slightly below estimates. The results helped stabilize sentiment, though they did not spark a significant rally.

Technically, the stock is attempting a double bottom near $30. A push above $34 would confirm that pattern and could signal a momentum shift. For investors seeking value, yield, and defensive exposure, Campbell’s is worth watching into early 2026 as the company executes its transformation.

Identifying Sector Rotation Is Key

If the market continues to weaken into year-end, consumer defensive stocks may begin to attract more institutional capital. While each of these names faces challenges, history shows that staples often bottom before sector- and macro-specific headlines improve.

Participants watching for rotation, capital reallocation, relative strength, and undervalued dividend names may find opportunities in the weeks ahead.
