The trade war shows no signs of slowing down as China responded on Friday morning with a retaliatory tariff now standing at 125% on U.S. imports. Here's a look at which companies are most exposed to China and could face impacts from the ongoing trade war:
STMicroelectronics plans to reshape its global manufacturing footprint, prioritizing investments in future-ready infrastructure, digital technologies, and complementary ecosystems.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has reportedly reduced his projected budget savings for the upcoming fiscal year.
Lucid Group, Inc (NASDAQ: LCID) to acquire facilities and assets previously owned by Nikola Corp in Arizona for $30M, not including business or tech. Deal subject to approval. Will offer jobs to over 300 former Nikola employees.
Shares of electric vehicle pioneer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) fell 10.7% in the afternoon session after Wall Street sentiment toward the company turned more bearish, with several analysts cutting their forecasts and price targets. UBS analyst Joseph Spak issued the most bearish outlook, slashing his price target to $19, implying a potential 30% downside. Spak warned that while lower 2025 earnings expectations were becoming consensus, the broader earnings trajectory for Tesla still appeared overly optimistic and remained vulnerable to further downward revisions after Q1 2025 earnings are released.
Similarly, Goldman Sachs lowered its price target from $275 to $260, reflecting growing near-term risks. The firm pointed to weakening auto demand, softer consumer sentiment, rising tariff-related costs, particularly within Tesla's Energy division, and increasing uncertainty around U.S. EV policy. Despite these headwinds, Goldman highlighted that the long-term potential from Tesla's AI-driven initiatives could serve as a meaningful offset, providing an avenue for future growth beyond its traditional automotive business.
Separately, stocks gave back some of the gains from the previous day as the White House clarified the tariffs on imports from China would add up to 145%, while the baseline 10% tariffs remained in place for all countries. This reminded investors that the global trade environment remained volatile, limiting the potential for sustained market gains.
Also President Trump said he was willing to accept pain in the short term, and was aware his policies could cause a recession, but he remained more mindful of a more severe case of economic depression (higher unemployment and prolonged downturn).
For investors, this suggested that the administration could prioritize long-term structural shifts over near-term economic stability, further increasing policy-driven risk in the markets.
