Frequently asked questions about Most owned stocks in Consumer Defensive
What are the most owned Consumer Defensive stocks?
The most owned consumer defensive stocks here are those that appear in the largest number of institutional 13F portfolios (holder count), using the latest filings in our dataset. That measures breadth of ownership across all filers reporting in this sector, not intraday trading.
Which stocks are most widely held by institutional investors in the Consumer Defensive sector?
Widely held names on this list often include companies such as WALMART INC (WMT), COSTCO WHOLESALE CORPORATION (COST), PROCTER & GAMBLE CO (PG), though membership changes as new 13Fs are filed.
How is "most owned" calculated?
We rank primarily by how many distinct institutional filers report a position in each ticker. The table also shows aggregate reported shares and value so you can compare scale alongside holder counts.
Does this include all institutional owners?
Yes. These rankings aggregate SEC 13F filings from all institutional investors in our database, not only the investors we track individually.
Are these trades real-time?
No. 13F filings are reported quarterly and may be delayed by up to 45 days. The data reflects positions at the end of the reporting period, not real-time trading activity.
