Defensive Stock

A stock that is not expected to decline in return during periods of recession, and may even achieve a return exceeding the market rate. It typically represents shares of a company whose business is not tied to the general state of the economy or fluctuates with the business cycle resulting from that state, and is therefore viewed as a lower-risk stock.
