28 companies are ranked; Monster Beverage Corp leads. Of the ten shown, our fair-value models label 4 undervalued, 6 fair and 0 overvalued.
Consumer staples sells food, drink, household goods and groceries, which people keep buying in a downturn. Growth is usually slow, so the dividend and profitability lenses carry more of the score here than in faster-moving sectors. The combined consumer list ranks it alongside consumer discretionary.

How this list is ranked
- Universe. S&P 500 companies that S&P Dow Jones Indices places in the Consumer Staples sector, scored from SEC filings with confidence High or Medium.
- Score. The X-Ray score (0 to 100) blends valuation, growth, profitability, financial health and dividends, with each lens ranked within the sector.
- Order. Sorted by X-Ray score; ties go to the higher financial-health score.
- Data. Scores come from company filings with the SEC and our own fair-value models. Every figure is our own calculation, dated 22 Oct 2026.
- Limits. Scores describe the past and the present, not the future. A company with less history gets a lower confidence label. Different rules give a different order, which is why the rules are printed here.
Why a ranking by stated rules and not a "best" label: the order changes with the rules, so the rules are published next to the list. See also how the X-Ray Score works.
