Cyclical Stock A stock that rises quickly when economic growth is strong and falls rapidly when growth is slowing down. Investopedia Says: An example is the automobile market: as economic growth slows, consumers have less money to spend on new cars. Non-cyclical stocks would be in industries such as healthcare, where the demand for goods and services is constant.
