Wall Street is climbing without the consumer.<\/p>\n

Over three months, the S&P 500 has gained 4.3%, while the consumer staples ETF (XLP) has lost about 4%, and its discretionary counterpart (XLY) about 5%.<\/p>\n

Bespoke Investment\u2019s senior expert Paul Hickey blames higher Treasury yields and fuel costs: the 10-year yield is hovering around record levels<\/a> (above 5.3%) \u2013 and diesel is up some 68% since the Iran war started.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, wage growth of about 3% trails 3.4% inflation.<\/p>\n

According to Telsey Advisory\u2019s lead consumer analyst Joe Feldman though, a few consumer names have now bottomed and are worth buying heading into 2027.<\/p>\n

Home Depot (HD)<\/h2>\n

Home Depot stock has been under immense pressure, losing some 18% in three months \u2013 a reaction to a housing market squeezed by tight supply and higher mortgage rates, which take their cue from the 10-year Treasury yield.<\/p>\n

Affordability has suffered.<\/p>\n

The company’s operating record has not. It has posted seven straight quarters of comparable-store sales growth, and Telsey analyst Feldman expects the run to continue through the back half of the year.<\/p>\n

In his telling, HD is taking market share even with the macro backdrop under significant pressure.<\/p>\n

As of writing, the home improvement retailer is trading at less than 2x sales, which signals a huge discount to its historical averages.<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s (MCD)<\/h2>\n

\u201cPretty solid numbers\u201d is how Feldman described McDonald\u2019s latest financials \u2013 a verdict at odds with an 18% share-price slide over three months.<\/p>\n

Management has spent this year trying to win back lower-income customers while contending with a weaker perception of value.<\/p>\n

Feldman says the chain keeps delivering even as consumer spending softens adding that temporary value-perception headwinds create an attractive entry point for a premier global franchisor.<\/p>\n

McDonald’s unmatched scale, high-margin asset-light model, and robust balance sheet allow it to out-invest competitors in digital ordering and targeted promotions.<\/p>\n

As value initiatives take hold, resilient earnings and market-share gains should catalyze a valuation rebound. At about 6x sales, MCD shares are now available to load up on a discount, he noted.<\/p>\n

TJX Companies (TJX)<\/h2>\n

TJX stock\u2019s 10% decline is the shallowest of the three, and the one closest to a self-inflicted wound.<\/p>\n

In the latest reported quarter<\/a>, the owner of Marshalls and HomeSense carried the wrong mix of inventory that hurt parts of the business, though management says trends have since improved.<\/p>\n

But the calendar offers some cover: the off-price retailer tends to thrive at the end of the year, when consumers hunt for well-priced finds.<\/p>\n

TJX shares are currently trading at about 2.5x sales, a valuation multiple that offers a meaningful discount to long-term investors.<\/p>\n

The retailer also pays a dividend yield of 1.38% as of writing, which makes it even more attractive for income-focused investors.<\/p>\n
