Consumer stocks - One area that looks interesting on the Contrarian Value side are the high dividend stocks that have been pummeled due to rising interest rates. The high dividend sectors tend to get hit when rates rise, but that process may be overdone in some cases.
These have been solid companies, long term buy/hold types, which have been hit. Some examples -
