Robert A. Hocking, senior vice president and global head of product innovation at Cboe Global Markets, revealed that Zero Days to Expiration (Zero DTE) options now account for nearly 47% of SPX trading volume in 2024.
That&#8217;s a dramatic rise from just eight years ago. 
&#8220;Zero DTE accounted for roughly 5% of SPX option volumes in 2016,&#8221; Hocking explained at Benzinga&#8217;s latest virtual event, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/managing-volatile-markets-with-0dte-options/">Managing Volatile Markets with 0DTE Options</a>, which was sponsored by Cboe. &#8220;This has jumped to 45% by the end of 2023, and it's crept up to around 47% in 2024,&#8221; he added. 
As a result, SPX's overall trading volume has doubled daily to approximately 3 million contracts, compared to 1.5 million in 2016.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Retail And Institutional Traders Fuel Growth</h3>
Both retail and institutional traders have driven the rapid expansion of Zero DTE options. Initially embraced by retail traders, institutional participation has increased, further boosting liquidity in the market. 
Hocking noted that Zero DTE options are now a major part of the trading landscape, with institutional players helping sustain their growth.
&#8220;What's fascinating is that Zero DTE now represents 1.4 million contracts daily—more than the total SPX daily average volume in 2016,&#8221; Hocking stated. &#8220;It's become a crucial tool for managing short-term trades and risk exposure, which is why it's seen such broad adoption.&#8221;

</div>
</figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Impact on Market Volatility</h3>
Despite the surge in Zero DTE trading, concerns about its potential effect on market volatility have not been realized. Hocking emphasized that Cboe&#8217;s data shows no evidence linking these options to increased market turbulence. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been closely monitoring the data, and there&#8217;s no sign that Zero DTE options are adding risk to the market,&#8221; he said.
Introducing Zero DTE options has provided traders with new ways to manage both the upside and downside of their portfolios, offering greater flexibility in their strategies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future of Zero DTE Options</h3>
As Zero DTE trading continues to flourish, Cboe is exploring further opportunities to meet the growing demand from institutional investors. Hocking suggested that more tools and data will likely emerge as the market for these options expands.
&#8220;Zero DTE is here to stay,&#8221; Hocking concluded. &#8220;Its growth reflects the shift in how retail and institutional traders approach the options market.&#8221;

Zero DTE Options Fuel Record SPX Trading Volumes, With No Signs Of Slowing Down: Expert

Even though the Chinese stock market has been scrutinized extensively in the past couple of years, some investors have begun to realize that there is much more upside than apparent risk for Asia&#39;s powerhouse. China&#39;s technology sector has the lowest valuation in history compared to its American counterpart.
Measured through the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kweb#NYSE">KWEB</a>), names in this space now trade at steep discounts against peers like Alphabet Inc. and even Amazon.com Inc.. While discounted stocks might not look attractive to some investors based on their price action, others recognize the value to be had in them.
This is why stocks like Alibaba Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/baba#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bidu#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and the overall iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mchi#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>) have delivered shareholders a significant rally this week, one of the best performances since the few months after the COVID-19 pandemic. Retail investors can also feel a bit safer because some of Wall Street&#39;s favorite investors have also given these companies a chance to make billions.
<h2>Chinese Government Interventions Improve the Risk-Reward Balance for Investors</h2>
Recently, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) in the United States decided to lower interest rates by half a percent, or 50 basis points. The Chinese economy has been criticized long enough for its slowdown and contractions, so the government has also decided to cut rates by the same amount.
The difference is that the Chinese ETF trades at only 47% of the high prices it made in early 2021, while the technology-focused NASDAQ 100 index trades at 96% of its 52-week high now. This means that the potential reward is much bigger in China than the pullback the U.S. technology space could make after these runs.
Stanley Druckenmiller decided to sell out of NVIDIA Co. after realizing the potential upside was no longer that attractive; it is no surprise to see his former mentor and boss George Soros initiate a&nbsp;$73.4 million position in Alibaba.
As lower rates start to spread through the Chinese economy, the consumer discretionary sector and rate-dependent technology companies will probably see the benefits first, so they have become the top choice for other mega investors as well.
<h2>Who&#39;s Buying Chinese Stocks Now and What They&#39;re Adding to Their Portfolios</h2>
Some investors would recognize him for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, but Michael Burry has now made Alibaba his top holding. After buying it for the better part of 2024, Burry&#39;s portfolio is now reported to hold up to 155,000 shares valued at roughly $14.8 million today.
The trend doesn&#39;t end there for Burry, as he also chose Baidu as his fourth-largest position, with 75,000 shares valued at approximately $9 million. Coming right after Baidu, Burry chose JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jd#NASDAQ">JD</a>) to be his fifth-largest position, with 250,000 shares carrying a value of $8.3 million today.
Those names are the common choice among investors today. David Tepper has recently deviated from his typical picks in the financial and technology sector to pick on Chinese stocks. For Tepper, his fund bought up to 10,500,000 shares for an approximate value of just over $1 billion in the portfolio.
Considering that Alibaba trades at less than a third of the $316 a share high it made after COVID-19, it makes sense for these investors to look at the potential risk-to-reward ratios and decide if it is worth taking a risk on Chinese stocks.
<h2>Wall Street&#39;s Latest Take on Alibaba and Baidu: Key Insights for Investors</h2>
Starting with Alibaba, analysts now justify a consensus price target of $107.6 a share on the stock, calling for 12.7% upside from where it trades today. However, those at Susquehanna decided to go above and beyond the consensus and place a $130 valuation on Alibaba, implying it could run by a much bigger 35.4% from today&#39;s price.
When it comes to Baidu, the stock trades at only 68% of its 52-week high to offer enough potential upside to consider it. This is why analysts at Citigroup see a potential case for the stock to trade as high as $155 a share, daring the stock to stage a massive 64.8% rally from where it has traded down to today.
Here are other insights for investors to consider: Alibaba&#39;s main competitor could be assumed to be Amazon, which is why the Chinese giant&#39;s 25.1x P/E ratio means a significant discount to Amazon&#39;s 46.0x valuation today. For Baidu, competition can only arguably be found in shares of Google.
Baidu&#39;s 12.4x P/E valuation would also offer investors a steep discount compared to Google&#39;s valuation of 23.3x P/E today, despite a recent selloff in that stock. When it comes to upside and diminished risk, investors all over are finding Chinese stocks to be the winners; maybe retail investors should, too.

Fission Uranium (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fcuuf#OTC">FCUUF</a>) has completed the hearing before the Supreme Court of British Columbia regarding the approval of the final order for its acquisition by Paladin Energy Limited. The hearing began before the Court on Sept. 13, 2024, and ended on Sept. 26. Its decision on the final order is expected in the coming weeks.
Fission&#39;s acquisition by Paladin Energy, however, remains opposed by CGN Mining Company Limited (&quot;CGN&quot;), which holds an 11.26% stake in Fission. CGN is a subsidiary of China General Nuclear Power Corp.
Fission&#39;s shareholders voted in favor of the acquisition at the special meeting held on Sept. 9, 2024. The closure of the acquisition currently remains subject to receipt of the final order and clearance under the Investment Canada Act, as well as other customary conditions.
<h2>Fission Uranium-Paladin Energy Merger Overview</h2>
Fission Uranium inked the deal with the Australian miner, Paladin Energy , in June 2024. Per the agreement, Paladin Energy would acquire FCUUF&#39;s outstanding shares for an implied total equity value of C$1.14 billion ($0.846 billion).
The acquisition, if successful, will create a company with a pro forma market capitalization of $3.5 billion. It will be placed among the largest pure-play global uranium companies with a combined mineral resource of 544 million pounds of uranium and ore reserves of 157 million. It will have a solid portfolio of exploration, development and production assets, and a substantially increased international capital markets exposure.
Fission Uranium&#39;s shareholders will receive 0.1076 fully paid shares of Paladin Energy for each share held in FCUUF. On completion, existing Paladin Energy and Fission Uranium shareholders will own around 76% and 24% of the combined entity, respectively.
Paladin Energy has applied for the listing of its shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange concurrent with the completion of the transaction. Consequently, Fission Uranium shareholders will receive TSX-listed Paladin Energy shares.
<h2>FCUUF Buyout to Strengthen Paladin Energy&#39;s Uranium Portfolio</h2>
Paladin Energy is an independent uranium producer with 75% ownership of the world-class long-life Langer Heinrich Mine located in Namibia. It also owns a portfolio of uranium exploration and development assets in Canada and Australia.&nbsp; Through its Langer Heinrich Mine, it delivers uranium to major nuclear utilities across the world. It has a 17-year estimated mine life and a nameplate annual capacity of 6 million pounds of uranium.
The acquisition of Fission Uranium will make Paladin Energy the 100% owner of the Patterson Lake South uranium property. It is a proposed high-grade uranium mine and mill in Canada&#39;s Athabasca Basin region. The feasibility study for the property projects a 10-year mine life with an annual production of 9.1 million pounds of uranium.
This move will help Paladin Energy capitalize on the growing demand for uranium. Several factors are driving this demand, such as the need for more electricity generation and the global push to decarbonize electrical grids, among others.
Over the past few years, the global uranium market has undergone a shift from an inventory-driven to a production-driven market.&nbsp; Underinvestment in uranium mining operations over the past decade has been the reason for a structural deficit between global production and uranium requirements.&nbsp; In 2024 and 2025, the gap between production and demand is projected to be more than 66 million pounds of uranium. This gap is expected to reach more than 400 million pounds by 2034. Uranium prices will be supported by robust demand and tight supply.
<h2>Fission Uranium Stock&#39;s Price Performance</h2>
Shares of Fission Uranium have gained 11.1% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 37.7% growth.

The refinancing of debt and a raised credit rating by S&amp;P Global has AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) CEO Adam Aron increasingly optimistic than ever about the long-term outlook of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/movie-theater-stocks">movie theater stock</a>.
What Happened: While speaking at the Variety Entertainment and Technology Summit Thursday, Aron shared the impact of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39915020/are-the-good-times-about-to-roll-at-amc-adam-aron-highlights-staggering-box-office-lineup-g">strong summer box office </a>and refinancing as key catalysts for the company.
"I'm a relieved human being," Aron <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/amc-theatres-adam-aron-optimistic-upgrades-1236157370/">said </a>of the refinancing. "In July, we were able to announce that we'd worked agreements with 150 different lending institutions that will refinance most of our long-term debt and push our maturities."
Perhaps the &#8220;most important thing&#8221; AMC did was negotiate with lenders to refinance its debt again in 2026, &#8220;pushing it out further than 2030," Aron added.
The AMC CEO also referenced IMAX CEO Rich Gelfound in his keynote, saying the executive is "sure that Harry Houdini works at AMC," due to the company's magic-like ability to survive against the odds.

Along with refinancing debt, Aron shared the impact that several strong box office blockbusters could have on future financials.
Box office earnings from June to September were more than double the previous five months. They went from $1.5 billion to $3.5 billion, Aron added.
Among the movies that helped were "Inside Out 2," "Despicable Me 4" and "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine."
"I can tell you with such confidence that the combination of resolving our balance sheet with a rising box office means rising profitability," Aron said.
Aron said the movie industry has been playing defense in recent years. It has had to fight off the COVID-19 pandemic impact plus Hollywood labor strikes.
"We get to play on offense again."
Price Action: AMC stock is up 1% to $4.58 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $2.38 to $11.88. AMC stock is down 25% year-to-date, as seen on the<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent092724&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> Benzinga Pro chart</a> below.

On Thursday, the FDA approved&nbsp;Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>)&nbsp;Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride, KarXT), an oral medication for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41064867/schizophrenia-treatment-revolution-fda-approves-bristol-myers-squibb-cobenfy-as-new-class-of-trea" rel="noreferrer noopener">schizophrenia in adults</a>.
BMO Capital analyst notes that the FDA approval without a boxed warning is a significant positive for Bristol Myers shares.
The analyst notes that given that many prior antipsychotic medications received black box warnings due to increased mortality risks, particularly in elderly patients, Cobenfy&#8217;s absence of such a warning could significantly enhance its potential in treating Alzheimer&#8217;s related-psychosis, pending further clinical trials.
BMO projects peak sales of $2.4 billion for Cobenfy in schizophrenia and $3.9 billion in Alzheimer&#8217;s related-psychosis, raising the price target to $53 from $48, with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Market Perform rating</a>.
The analyst notes that Cobenfy will be priced at $1,850 for a 30-day supply or $22,500/year, representing a discount to previous expectations.
Truist Securities highlights that AbbVie Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) is also advancing emraclidine as a treatment for schizophrenia and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease-related psychosis.
According to Truist analysts, emraclidine differs from KarXT in its mechanism of action.
Despite emerging competition, Truist points out that KarXT holds a first-mover advantage and is ahead by at least two to three years.
Truist maintains the Buy rating and a price target of $62.
William Blair projects peak U.S. sales for Cobenfy to reach approximately $2 billion by 2030, driven solely by its use in treating schizophrenia.
However, if the drug is approved for additional indications, such as Alzheimer-related psychosis and adjunctive schizophrenia—both currently in Phase 3 trials—annual sales could rise to around $3 billion to $5 billion, pending positive results.
The analyst points out that although the label lacks a black box warning, it does include caution for urinary retention, elevated heart rate, reduced gastric motility, and angioedema.
Price Action: BMY stock is up 2.33% at $51.29&nbsp;at the last check on Friday.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Although investors have enjoyed another strong season of returns in the equities market, it may be time to consider more reliable consumer goods stocks to buy. Primarily, the sentiment pivot on Wall Street suggests that surviving an onslaught &ndash; rather than thriving amid tailwinds &ndash; may be the name of the game.
Naturally, the first clue stems from the S&amp;P 500 index. Up until the end of July, circumstances appear quite robust for the benchmark gauge of market health. However, since the aforementioned date, the index slipped rather heavily. And circumstances have been rough recently, with the index printing much red ink in the trailing month.
Fundamentally, the second clue comes from outside economic factors. While the Federal Reserve made some progress in facilitating a disinflationary trend, consumer prices remain stubbornly high. Also, with more interest rate hikes not out of the question, mass layoffs may materialize. Of course, such a circumstance would not bode well for growth-oriented enterprises.&nbsp;Therefore, arguably most signs point to cynical relevancies brewing for boring but reliable companies. With that, below are consumer goods stocks to add to your portfolio.

<h2>Consumer Goods Stocks: Procter &amp; Gamble (PG)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/shutterstock_1073950868-300x169.png" alt="Procter &amp; Gamble Union Distribution Center. P&amp;G is an American Multinational Consumer Goods Company" width="300" height="169"><div>Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com</div></div>
A multinational giant and one of the most recognizable names among consumer goods stocks, Procter &amp; Gamble (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pg-stock-quote/">PG</a>) needs no introduction. Generally, P&amp;G makes a solid case for retirement-based portfolios. It offers a consistent, relatively predictable business with consistent profitability. Should a recession materialize, the company should be a top idea to consider.
On the financials, P&amp;G prints a <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/stock/PG/summary?search=pg">three-year revenue growth rate of 6.9%</a>, better than 51.55% of other consumer goods stocks. That&rsquo;s really nothing special. However, here&rsquo;s the main takeaway: the enterprise&rsquo;s net margin clocks in at 17.87%, above 92.73% of the competition. It has posted net income over at least the past 10 years, making it a reliable investment.
Regarding passive income, P&amp;G prints a <a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-staples/consumer-products/household-products/pg-procter-and-gamble/">forward yield of 2.58%</a>. While not especially remarkable, the company has a track record of 68 years of consecutive dividend increases.
Finally, analysts rate PG a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/pg/forecast">consensus moderate buy</a> with a $169.50 price target, implying over 16% upside potential.
<h2>Colgate-Palmolive (CL)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/colgate-cl-stock-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Colgate toothpaste and mouthwash in a cup with a toothbrush" width="300" height="169"><div>Source: monticello / Shutterstock.com</div></div>
Another name among consumer goods stocks that requires no introduction, Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cl-stock-quote/">CL</a>) offers a promising framework. Essentially, the company cynically provides a trade-down effect from going to the dentist. Let me just clarify that I&rsquo;m not a health professional and you should always abide by their guidance regarding your wellbeing. Still, skipping out on certain procedures has long been a reality.
As an op-ed from The Washington Post revealed, people <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/02/01/dentist-office-teeth-patients-pandemic/">skipped out on going to the dentist</a> during the Covid-19 pandemic. To be fair, that was for understandable public health concerns. Nevertheless, an economic pressure point can yield similar results. Therefore, CL could move higher based on this rather dubious narrative.
On the more pleasant side, Colgate offers a <a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-staples/consumer-products/household-products/cl-colgate-palmolive/">forward yield of 2.7%</a>. Further, the payout ratio is reasonable at 55.5%. Also, the company has a history of 61 years of consecutive dividend increases.&nbsp;Lastly, analysts peg CL as a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/cl/forecast">moderate buy</a> with an $84.70 target, implying over 19% growth.
<h2>Consumer Goods Stocks:&nbsp;Kraft Heinz (KHC)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/kraft-heinz-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="Heinz (KHC) ketchup bottle about to squeeze out ketchup" width="300" height="169"><div>Source: SSokolov / Shutterstock.com</div></div>
A multinational food company, Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/khc-stock-quote/">KHC</a>) makes an enticing case for consumer goods stocks to buy. For one thing, it&rsquo;s <a href="https://investorplace.com/2023/09/the-7-most-undervalued-warren-buffett-stocks-to-buy-in-september-2023/">one of the holdings of legendary investor Warren Buffett</a> via his Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/brk-b-stock-quote/">BRK-B</a>) conglomerate. I&rsquo;m not saying that the Oracle of Omaha is the end-all, be-all of deciding what to buy. Still, it&rsquo;s a nice confidence booster.
Fundamentally, the other factor that drives Kraft Heinz is the aforementioned trade-down effect. Increasingly, if economic pressures build, people will stop going out to restaurants to eat. Instead, they&rsquo;ll head over to their local grocery stores more often. Thanks to metrics like economies of scale and other competitive advantages, Kraft Heinz has a chance to attract these dollars.
Enticingly, Kraft Heinz offers a <a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-staples/consumer-products/packaged-food/khc-the-kraft-heinz-company/">forward yield of 4.76%</a>. That&rsquo;s well above the average for consumer goods stocks at 1.89%. As well, the payout ratio is reasonable at 53.57%.&nbsp;To close, analysts peg KHC as a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/khc/forecast">moderate buy</a> with a $40.13 target, implying over 19% upside.
<h2>Mondelez (MDLZ)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/mdlz1600-300x169.jpg" alt="The Mondelez website magnified by a magnifying glass" width="300" height="169"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>
A multinational confectionery, food, and beverage company, Mondelez (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mdlz-stock-quote/">MDLZ</a>) symbolizes an intriguing idea for consumer goods stocks to buy. As stated before, Mondelez &ndash; as a food and snack manufacturer &ndash; should benefit from the trade-down effect. Basically, fewer people will likely go to eateries to feed themselves. Instead, they&rsquo;ll spend more dollars at grocery stores.
In fairness, I must admit that Mondelez&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/stock/MDLZ/summary?search=mdlz">three-year revenue growth rate of 8.6%</a> isn&rsquo;t all that impressive. Per investment data aggregator Gurufocus, that&rsquo;s ranked better than only 57.2% of its peers. However, should economic conditions worsen, I expect the top line to expand due to financial realities.
Another reason to stay with MDLZ is its forward yield of 2.45%. While it&rsquo;s not dramatically high, the payout did increase recently. Also, the payout ratio sits at 48.06%, providing confidence in terms of yield sustainability.&nbsp;Also, analysts peg shares as a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/mdlz/forecast">consensus strong buy</a> with an $83.18 target, implying nearly 20% upside.
<h2>Consumer Goods Stocks:&nbsp;Coty (COTY)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/coty-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="The Coty (COTY) logo on a glass office in Poland." width="300" height="169"><div>Source: Konektus Photo / Shutterstock.com</div></div>
One of the riskiest ideas among consumer goods stocks, investors will need high conviction with Coty (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/coty-stock-quote/">COTY</a>). A beauty care specialist, Coty in my opinion offers a fundamentally relevant business. So far, the print agrees with me. Since the beginning of the year, shares gained about 25%. However, over the past six months, COTY has been conspicuously muted.
As a premium beauty care company, one could make the argument that Coty is not necessary. Thus, Coty could suffer from the trade-down effect, not benefit from it. At the same time, the enterprise&rsquo;s core customers recognize how important the products are for holistic well-being. Further, the push among many companies to return to the office may lift COTY.
Let&rsquo;s face reality here &ndash; companies aren&rsquo;t necessarily their employees&rsquo; friends. Instead, they&rsquo;re trying to get work done. And if mandates are required, folks have to return to the office or face heavy consequences.&nbsp;Therefore, I like COTY on the cynicism, even if it <a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-staples/consumer-products/household-products/coty-coty-inc/">doesn&rsquo;t pay a dividend</a> right now. To make up for it, analysts rate shares a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/coty/forecast">moderate buy</a> with a $13.33 price target, implying almost 22% upside.
<h2>Coca-Cola (KO)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/shutterstock_1646970103-300x169.jpg" alt="KO stock PEP stock: a can of Coca-cola and a can of Pepsi on either side of a glass of brown soda and sitting on top of a pile of ice" width="300" height="169"><div>Source: monticello / Shutterstock</div></div>
An easy choice among consumer goods stocks to buy in my opinion, Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ko-stock-quote/">KO</a>) makes plenty of sense. Yes, it&rsquo;s one of Warren Buffett&rsquo;s favorite holdings &ndash; and favorite products to consumers &ndash; but that&rsquo;s not where I&rsquo;m going. Rather, as society gradually normalizes (especially in the workplace as mentioned above), the search for caffeine will be intense.
Scratch that, the search for cheap caffeine will be intense, which is why Coca-Cola is so compelling. Yes, both consumers and worker bees can get their favorite lattes at a certain coffee shop that will not be mentioned. However, with inflation remaining stubbornly high, shopping at the coffee shop that shall not be named is getting incredibly expensive.
At some point, I believe folks will start conducting a serious cost-benefit analysis. Even if you can afford the luxury of caffeine, it just doesn&rsquo;t seem worth it. Therefore, I&rsquo;m digging KO, especially with its <a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-staples/consumer-products/beverages/ko-coca-cola-co/">3.29% forward yield</a> and 62 years of consecutive dividend increases.&nbsp;Lastly, analysts peg KO as a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/ko/forecast">strong buy</a> with a $70.91 target, implying almost 27% growth.
<h2>Newell Brands (NWL)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/newell_nwl_1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A photo of a sign showing the Newell Brands (NWL) logo outside a building." width="300" height="169"><div>Source: JHVEPhoto/Shutterstock.com</div></div>
An American manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of consumer and commercial products, Newell Brands (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nwl-stock-quote/">NWL</a>) offers an interesting case for consumer goods stocks. Per its public profile, Newell brands and products include Rubbermaid storage and trash containers, Contigo and Bubba water bottles, and Coleman outdoor products. It even offers writing instruments, children&rsquo;s products, and cookware.
Basically, whatever you need, Newell has. And that&rsquo;s going to be particularly important as consumers ditch premium-level services and begin shopping for their own needs; for example, shopping for food products and accessories rather than ordering takeout. With Newell offering a wide range of critical consumer products, it should see a relevance boost.
Just as well, Newell offers a <a href="https://www.dividend.com/stocks/consumer-discretionary/home-office-products/home-office-furnishings/nwl-newell-brands-inc/">forward yield of 3.1%</a>, which is notably higher than the underlying sector average. Also, the payout ratio sits at 25.97%, providing confidence regarding yield sustainability.&nbsp;Finally, <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/nwl/forecast" target="_blank">analysts rate NWL a moderate buy</a> with a $12.89 target, implying nearly 43% upside potential.

This staggering amount surpasses Amazon.com, Inc.'s (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMZN/">AMZN</a>) and Apple Inc.'s (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AAPL/">AAPL</a>) asset bases combined by more than double and triple, respectively.
