Consumer cyclical stocks are disappointing investors this year. The S&P Consumer Discretionary Select Sector Index, a collection of the largest consumer discretionary companies, is off 3.8% year to date.
It's not all bad news, as some of the group's smaller names are turning in scintillating 2026 showings. Penn Entertainment (NASDAQ: PENN) is a prime example. The casino stock is up 48.3%, making it one of the best performers in the group.
Penn Entertainment is soaring and it could extend those gains in the second half of the year. Image source: Getty Images.
