Seeking Alpha News (Wed, 1-Apr 2:35 PM ET)
The First Trust Consumer Staples AlphaDEX Fund is an exchange-traded Fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield before fees and expenses of an equity index called the StrataQuant Consumer Staples Index.
First Trust Consumer Staples Alphadex trades on the ARCA stock market under the symbol FXG.
As of April 2, 2026, FXG stock price climbed to $64.29 with 58,502 million shares trading.
FXG has a beta of 0.25, meaning it tends to be less sensitive to market movements. FXG has a correlation of 0.09 to the broad based SPY ETF.
FXG has a market cap of $241.09 million. This is considered a Small Cap stock.
In the last 3 years, FXG traded as high as $70.29 and as low as $56.82.
FXG has underperformed the market in the last year with a return of +0.5%, while SPY returned +18.2%. This shows that you would have done better investing in the overall market (through SPY) over the last year than in FXG shares. However, FXG has outperformed the market in the last 3 month and 2 week periods, returning +6.4% and +1.8%, while SPY returned -3.6% and -0.6%, respectively. This indicates FXG has been having a stronger performance recently.
FXG support price is $63.17 and resistance is $64.49 (based on 1 day standard deviation move). This means that using the most recent 20 day stock volatility and applying a one standard deviation move around the stock's closing price, stastically there is a 67% probability that FXG shares will trade within this expected range on the day.
