We’ll review the 11 different Market Sectors that exist (namely, Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Healthcare, Industrial, Information Technology, Materials, Real Estate, and Utilities). We’ll analyze their 1-Year performance, assess their fundamentals by looking at dividend yield (which would be of interest to dividend investors), as well as return on investment (which would be of interest for growth investors). We’ll also provide examples of companies for each stock market sector so you can better relate to them. Let’s get into it! Here’s an overview of the 11 stock market sectors.
