Thanksgiving Week: Best and Worst SPX Performers Over the Past Decade

Thanksgiving week has historically been a time for investors to identify consistent winners and losers within the S&P 500. 

Over the past ten years, three personal care giants have dominated as top performers: Kimberly-Clark (KMB), Clorox (CLX), and Church & Dwight (CHD). These stocks have delivered positive returns every single Thanksgiving week, ranking highest by both percentage of positive weeks and average returns.

On the other end of the spectrum, energy and utility companies have struggled the most during Thanksgiving week over the past decade. These sectors are notably overrepresented among the worst-performing stocks, underscoring sector-specific vulnerabilities during this holiday period.
