This week my latest portfolio seeks a high-yield and growing stock in the consumer cyclicals sector. 

That sector includes twenty-eight industries ranging from Advertising Agencies to Apparel, Autos, Broadcasting, Department Stores, Gambling, Leisure, Lodging, Packaging, Personal Services, Shoes, Restaurants, Rubber, Plastics, Textiles, and all such consumer aimed enterprises.

Today I’m reviewing a residential construction firm. It’s a mid-cap stock with market capital between $2 billion and $10 billion. Its name is Taylor Wimpey plc.  It’s trading ticker symbol is TWODY . 

Taylor Wimpey plc is a residential developer. It offers homes from apartments to five bedroom houses. It provides housing in United Kingdom and Spain.

In 2007 George Wimpey and Taylor Woodrow merged to form Taylor Wimpey.The home building and construction heritage of both companies, dates back more than 100 years.

Taylor Wimpey plc is headquartered in Buckinghamshire, UK.
