Definition: Defensive Stocks

Any company stocks that tends to remain stable during a stock market downturn or difficult economic conditions are known as defensive stocks. These may include companies from the food, tobacco, oil and utilities sectors because demand for these typical products and service continues through out any stockmarket downturn.
