A countdown of seven retail stocks spans value, off-price, specialty, and essentials businesses as investors weigh resilient demand against inflation, tariffs, and uneven spending.
Investors are still treating tariffs like a temporary headline risk when the more important story is the interaction between sticky price pressure, higher yields, and a weakening consumer.
