Defensive Stock
A defensive stock refers to shares of companies that provide stable and consistent returns and dividends, regardless of market conditions. These stocks are typically associated with well-established companies that offer essential products or services, making them less vulnerable to economic downturns. Defensive stocks are rare, as few companies are immune to all market conditions. While they may not offer high returns, they are valued for providing stability and protecting investors during economic declines. In India, ITC Limited is an example of a defensive stock, known for its steady performance and resilience in various market conditions.
