Tariff Stocks: 20 Stocks to Benefit From Onshoring Boom

In this article, we will take a look at the 20 stocks that will benefit from an onshoring boom.

U.S. stocks are hovering close to all-time highs as Wall Street remains cautiously optimistic that the current administration might sign more trade agreements, preventing the worst-case scenario of extremely high tariffs and allowing the robust economy to continue chugging along.

As stocks continue to rise, markets are acclimating to the possibility that Trump’s tariffs will remain in effect, according to Eric Freedman, CIO at US Bank Asset Management Group. However, Freedman states that an unusually high tax on a significant trading partner, such as the European Union, could cause a market shock that leads to a decline. Speaking on this, he added:

“Markets are not priced for major trading partner effective tariff rates north of 20%. The European negotiations remain paramount. That’s something that markets are very, very fixated on right now.”

According to market analysts, a de-escalation in international trade tensions, better-than-expected economic data, and robust corporate earnings have all helped stocks rise. Approximately 34% of S&P 500 companies have released their second quarter earnings results, with 80% reporting earnings that are above forecasts.

Additionally, the tariff issue brought the idea of reshoring back into the spotlight. Supply chain interruptions and slow employment growth sparked reshoring, which is now accelerating thanks to the White House. Reshoring announcements in the United States came to a total of $933 billion in 2023. That amount rose to $1.7 trillion by the end of 2024.
