In the midst of President Trump’s ongoing tariff battle, my gaze has shifted towards domestic companies that aren’t heavily reliant on exports. Here are five promising sectors worth your attention:
-
Steel and Aluminum
With escalating tariffs on imported metals, particularly from China, companies like Nucor and Steel Dynamics could gain a competitive edge. Nucor stands as the largest steel producer in the U.S., maintaining a strong North American sales base with minimal export dependency. Similarly, Steel Dynamics serves primarily domestic clients. -
Defense & Aerospace
A protective trade stance might benefit firms like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, particularly if tariffs are imposed on foreign components for national security reasons. Northrop Grumman, largely serving the U.S. Department of Defense, and Huntington Ingalls, the exclusive builder of U.S. aircraft carriers, are positioned well here. -
Energy (Oil & Gas)
With tariffs in play and counteractions from nations like Mexico and Canada, there’s potential for a surge in demand for domestic energy resources. Giants like ExxonMobil and Chevron could see increased activity, while Duke Energy—a U.S.-focused, regulated utility—could capitalize on infrastructure investments. -
Industrial Equipment
Domestic manufacturers of machinery and heavy equipment could benefit from tariffs that hike up costs for foreign imports. Leaders in this field like Caterpillar and Deere & Co. offer strong domestic supply solutions. - Food & Consumer Goods
My colleague Bryan Bottarelli recently noted McCormick & Company as an advantageous stock thanks to tariff protections. Just a day into his investment, he saw a 25% profit. Other primarily U.S.-centric companies include Post Holdings, focusing on cereals and snacks, and TreeHouse Foods, which caters to the grocery sector.
Your Action Plan
The Trump administration is clear in its agenda to bolster U.S. industries. History indicates tariffs can boost these five sectors, and current circumstances suggest we’re poised for similar success.
