They examine the numbers behind the trend, including how inflation fatigue and changing consumer habits are hitting the bottom lines of household brands from Kraft Heinz to General Mills. The hosts also look at what this means for the broader market, referencing the S&P 500's dip and the outperformance of defensive stocks like utilities. Plus, a look at how dividends and consumer staples are faring in a rotation.
