Companies Most Exposed

Frequently Impacted Stocks

These companies appear most often in AISB's tariff-related policy signals. Exposure ranges from direct revenue impact (importers) to indirect supply chain effects (manufacturers with overseas components).

Ticker Company Tariff Exposure Impact Type
X U.S. Steel Domestic steel producer. Tariffs on imported steel directly boost pricing power and margins. Benefit
NUE Nucor Largest U.S. steel producer. Protected domestic market when tariffs reduce foreign steel competition. Benefit
CAT Caterpillar Global manufacturer. Higher steel input costs compress margins; retaliatory tariffs hurt international revenue. Risk
BA Boeing Export-dependent aerospace manufacturer. Retaliatory tariffs from trading partners create order cancellation risk. Risk
TSLA Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory supplies a significant portion of global deliveries. China tariff escalation disrupts logistics and cost structure. Risk
DE Deere & Co. Agricultural equipment with major export exposure. Trade war retaliation against U.S. farm goods affects dealer demand. Risk
F Ford Motor Complex cross-border supply chain across U.S., Mexico, Canada. USMCA tariff changes directly affect production cost. Mixed
NVDA Nvidia Chips manufactured in Taiwan. Tariffs on semiconductor imports and China market restrictions create dual exposure. Risk
Impact Breakdown

Which Sectors Move — and How

Tariff impacts aren't uniform. The direction depends on whether a company is a domestic producer shielded by tariffs, an importer facing higher costs, or an exporter exposed to retaliation.

Domestic Beneficiaries
Steel & Metals
U.S. steel and aluminum producers see immediate pricing power when tariffs reduce foreign competition. This is the clearest direct benefit in any tariff regime.
X NUE STLD CLF
Input Cost Risk
Industrials & Manufacturing
Companies that buy steel, aluminum, or Chinese components as inputs face margin compression. Higher costs are hard to pass through entirely to end customers.
CAT DE EMR MMM
Retaliation Risk
Exporters & Aerospace
When the U.S. imposes tariffs, trading partners retaliate against U.S. exports — particularly agricultural goods, aerospace, and consumer brands with large international revenue.
BA ADM BG DE
Supply Chain Complexity
Autos
Auto manufacturers operate highly integrated cross-border supply chains. Tariff changes on parts — especially under USMCA — ripple through production costs rapidly.
F GM TSLA APTV
China Revenue Exposure
Semiconductors & Tech
Chip companies with significant China data center or consumer revenue face dual pressure: import tariffs on hardware and export restrictions on advanced products.
NVDA AMD QCOM AVGO
Near-Shoring Beneficiaries
Mexico & Domestic Supply
Sustained tariff regimes accelerate supply chain relocation. Companies building domestic or Mexican manufacturing capacity benefit from this structural shift.
