BJ's Wholesale Club, Conagra Brands, CAVA Group, Maplebear, and Casey's General Stores are the five Grocery stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Grocery stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is retailing food and household essentials through supermarkets, grocery stores, warehouse clubs or online delivery services. Investors often view them as defensive holdings because consumer demand for groceries remains relatively stable even during economic downturns. As a result, grocery stocks tend to exhibit lower volatility and consistent dividend payouts compared with more cyclical sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Grocery stocks within the last several days.
