10 Stocks Set to Surge from the Trump Tariffs - 6 of 10

 
 

#6 - Raytheon Corporation (NYSE:RTX)

Raytheon Corporation (NYSE: RTN) – Raytheon was already a beneficiary of the "Trump Effect" –the surge in stocks after President Trump's election in 2016. The stock of the multinational aerospace and defense contractor rose nearly 46 percent since the election and after a brief contraction looks poised to rise again. This time, the company should benefit from the Trump tariffs. The company is well-positioned to withstand the tariffs. According to CEO Tom Kennedy, the company does not import from China and they are already purchasing the bulk of their steel and aluminum purchases from American manufacturers, meaning they will not be facing the same cost pressures as competitors. Internationally, many American allies are increasing their investment in defense spending to meet new NATO requirements. This has caused the company’s revenue from international sales to increase to nearly 32 percent and continues to trend up. First-quarter net sales were up 4.5% from the same period in 2017 at $6.3 billion with an earnings per share of $2.20, a year-over-year increase of over 27 percent.
