Re: "Could someone give me a definition of a cyclical stock?" A cyclical stock is the stock of a cyclical company. A cyclical company is a company who's sales grow and shrink along with the economic activity of the general economy. So, if the growth of the overall economy slows or if we move into a recession, the sales of cyclical companies will decline. This will usually cause the earnings of cyclical companies to decrease and their stock prices to go down. Best wishes, I2
