Can Smaller Staples Stocks Beat the Big Names?
What interests me is whether discount retailers and smaller staples companies can gain market share as shoppers trade down to cheaper products. That could give them room to grow even while established brands like and deal with higher costs.
and are both up around 13% this year, so I’d look at which companies are driving those gains. An equal weight ETF gives smaller holdings more influence, which could help if they outperform the large brands

Trading down could definitely help discount retailers, but I’d want to see whether they’re actually gaining customers or just benefiting from a temporary squeeze on household budgets. Those aren’t quite the same thing.
Main question is can the cheaper alternatives match the general everyday quality of the FMCG giants. Small sacrifices in each everyday product can feel like a huge everyday downgrade and people might prefer that cause of the prices at first but becomes a hassle that they switch from once a few months set in.
