President Trump put a 30-day pause on levying 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico but proceeded to levy an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports. Trump has also acknowledged that he would be levying tariffs on European imports in time. The repercussions of tariffs have been a hotly debated topic. In the event that Trump follows through with his planned 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico as well as levying similar tariffs to European imports, here are six stocks that could benefit and probably not in the direct way you think.
<h2>Nucor: Soaring Steel Prices Bolster Margins</h2>
As the nation&#39;s largest steel producer, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/NUE/">Nucor Co. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nue#NYSE">NUE</a>) would benefit from the protectionist impact of tariffs just as they did in 2018. By taking on an additional 25% tariff on imported steel, manufacturers would be forced to buy domestic steel. The influx of demand would lead to higher prices.
This is what happened during the 2018 tariffs, when imported steel was too expensive after the 25% tariffs, domestic steel producers also took the opportunity to raise their prices. This resulted in short-term margin expansion, which also led to soaring inflation. However, sustained higher steel prices can also impact demand in the long run.
<h2>CarMax: Higher Steel Prices Mean Higher New Car Prices</h2>
Higher steel prices would result in higher costs being passed onto the consumer. New car prices would increase, making it tougher on consumers. It&#39;s estimated that the 25% tariffs imposed on Mexico and Canada could result in <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2025/02/03/trump-tariffs-new-car-prices-layoffs-canada-mexico/78179356007/">increasing the cost of a new car by $1,000 to $9,000</a>.
This would cause many consumers to consider buying a used vehicle for cheaper without getting smacked by the immediate depreciation once the car is driven off the lot. <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/KMX/">CarMax Inc. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kmx#NYSE">KMX</a>) is the nation&#39;s largest used car dealership. They would naturally be the benefactor as customers migrate to their showrooms to purchase used vehicles. The growing demand would result in higher used car prices, leading to margin expansion for CarMax.
<h2>Reborn Coffee: Inflation Sends Commodity Prices Rising</h2>
It is widely believed that levying tariffs on imports will drive inflation higher, especially if retaliatory tariffs are levied on American exports.&nbsp;This can also lead to higher commodity prices, which can bolster margins for coffee roasters like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/REBN/">Reborn Coffee Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rebn#NASDAQ">REBN</a>).&nbsp;
Coffee prices hit a 27-year high at the end of November 2024. However, that was also driven by forecasts of tightening supply in 2025.
If supply constraints persist, elevated coffee prices could provide continued tailwinds for roasters, though higher costs may eventually pressure consumer demand.
<h2>Kroger: Food Inflation Is Profitable for Food Distributors and Grocers</h2>
Higher inflation may force consumers to tighten their budgets again, but they&#39;ll still need to spend on the necessities in the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/consumer-staples/">consumer staples sector</a>. Major supermarket chains like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/KR/">Kroger Co. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kr#NYSE">KR</a>) would benefit from expanding margins as they pass on cost increases to customers and add a little extra for themselves.
Additionally, they would also gain from consumers trading down from name brand food items to Kroger&#39;s higher margin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/shoe-carnival-stock-one-size-fits-all-investors/">private label</a> items. This shift could further strengthen Kroger&#39;s pricing power and boost overall profitability amid economic uncertainty.
<h2>Charles Schwab: Rising Interest Rates Boost Net Interest Margin&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>
If inflation starts rising sharply, it will leave the Federal Reserve no choice but to reverse its interest rate cut policy and raise interest rates. Higher interest rates mean higher net interest income (NII) and margins for banks and brokers. <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/SCHW/">Charles Schwab Inc. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schw#NYSE">SCHW</a>) would be a clear benefactor from higher NII as its assets under management (AUM) have grown to more than $10 trillion. They would also collect more interest on margin loans.
This is not a guess but a reality based on precedent. History has shown that rising rates tend to benefit financial institutions, making this scenario more than just speculation.
<h2>Allstate: Interest Income Climbs</h2>
Aside from banks, insurance companies are in the business of holding a ton of cash and cash equivalents. Insurance companies like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/ALL/">Allstate Co. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/all#NYSE">ALL</a>) collect a ton of premium, which it invests in cash and liquid interest-bearing instruments and securities like money market funds, CDs, Treasury, and municipal and investment grade bonds.
Higher interest rates equate to higher investment income. As interest rates rise, these investments generate higher yields, boosting overall investment income and profitability.

6 Stocks Poised To Benefit From A Trade War In Unexpected Ways

Owning a home isn't just about affording the monthly mortgage—it's about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/04/38046445/florida-governor-ron-desantis-raises-alarm-by-calling-citizens-insurance-not-solvent-as-an-explosive">securing insurance</a>. And according to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, that's becoming a major problem.
Speaking before the Senate Banking Committee on Feb. 11, Powell warned that banks and insurers are pulling out of high-risk areas, leaving some regions at risk of becoming completely unmortgageable in the coming years.
"If you fast forward 10 or 15 years, there are going to be regions of the country where you can't get a mortgage," Powell told lawmakers, explaining that both banks and insurance companies are withdrawing from coastal areas and fire-prone regions they consider too risky.

</ul>
His comments came in response to Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), who highlighted a recent First Street Foundation analysis estimating that climate-related risks could wipe out $1.4 trillion in U.S. real estate value over the next 30 years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Banks, Insurers, and Billions in Property at Risk</h2>
For lenders, homeowner's insurance isn't optional—it's a requirement. If insurers refuse to cover homes, banks won't issue mortgages.
And that's already happening. Insurance giants like State Farm and Allstate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) have been pulling out of high-risk areas, canceling policies in states prone to wildfires, hurricanes, and flooding.
In Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood, State Farm dropped thousands of policies—just months before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43199103/suze-orman-says-whether-you-were-close-to-the-la-fires-or-not-were-all-going-to-feel-it-because-insurance-companies-are-pulling-out">wildfires tore through the area</a>.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Between 2020 and 2022, insurance companies declined to renew 2.8 million homeowner policies in California, according to the latest data from the state's Department of Insurance, according to CNN.&nbsp;
"It's not that banks will stay there and keep making loans in the face of evidence of disaster," Powell said. "Or that insurance companies will write policies—they can cancel those policies every year."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Crisis That Could Crush Home Values</h2>
The implications of an uninsurable housing market are enormous—not just for homeowners, but for entire economies.
Smith pointed out that when insurance becomes unaffordable—or simply unavailable—home values plummet, creating instability in both the rental and mortgage markets.
"The prospect of trillions of dollars of property becoming uninsurable is clearly a recipe, it seems to me, for market instability both in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41233338/i-make-180-000-a-month-off-properties-i-dont-even-own-airbnb-arbitrage-is-a-golden-goose-for-many-yo">rental and mortgage market</a>," she warned.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">Arrived Home's Private Credit Fund&#8217;s has historically paid an annualized dividend yield of 8.1%&#x2A;</a>, which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with just a $100 minimum.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">&nbsp;</a>
Powell didn't dispute the risk, acknowledging that state and local governments are already stepping in where private insurers have walked away. "They want those areas to remain prosperous," he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Falling Interest Rates Won't Solve This Problem</h2>
While Powell said interest rate normalization might provide relief to homebuyers in the future, he emphasized that high rates aren't the root of the housing crisis—supply is.
"There's a short-term problem which will go away in the coming years," Powell said. "But there's a longer-term problem with housing affordability, and that's something that's not within our authorities or powers to affect."
Even if rates drop, Powell argued that demand would likely surge—meaning affordability could remain an issue.
"It would unlock people's low mortgages, but that creates both a buyer and a seller," he said.. "It's not clear that that would be something that would drive down housing inflation."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Market on the Brink of Instability?</h2>
With insurers pulling out, lenders tightening restrictions, and a $1.4 trillion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43581167/charlie-munger-said-cycles-of-agony-are-normal-in-real-estate-but-they-dont-last-forever-sometimes-its-a-boom-sometimes-its-a-bust">real estate risk potentially looming</a>, the U.S. housing market could be headed for an insurance-driven affordability crisis.
And if Powell's warning holds true, some homeowners may soon find themselves unable to sell—not because of rates, but because no one can get a mortgage at all.

MidAtlantic Snow: The first major weather event of this busy week will strike the MidAtlantic region on Tuesday with snow and ice spreading through the Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City metro areas.&nbsp;

February Winter Weather Set To Bring Northeast Snow, Soak California Fire Zones

It's a mixed session on Wall Street, with major indices struggling for direction as investors hold their breath ahead of a key jobs report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">set for Friday morning.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 edged up 0.3%, while the Dow Jones slipped 0.1% and small caps held steady.
Among the leading sectors, financial stocks outperformed after the Fed released the framework for 2025 bank stress test. The big six banks — JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) skyrocketed nearly 10% on strong revenue figures. In contrast, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) slid 4.3% on concerns over slowing smartphone demand.
Shares of Palantir Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) surged 6.5%, extending its weekly gains to 30.8%, the stock's best weekly rally since early November.

Gold softened, dropping 0.6% from record highs and snapping a five-session winning streak.

Earnings Scheduled For February 5, 2025

Allstate shares are trading higher after the company announced it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its employer stop loss segment to Nationwide.

For the first nine months of 2024, Group Health had revenues of $608 million and Adjusted Net Income of $69 million.
Allstate acquired the Group Health business in 2021 as part of the $4.0 billion acquisition of National General.
&nbsp;The sale is expected to generate a financial book gain of about $450 million, increase deployable capital by $0.9 billion but reduce adjusted net income return on equity by 75 basis points after closing, which is expected in 2025.

Allstate Inks Definitive Deal To Sell Its Group Health Business To Nationwide For $1.25B In Cash

Allstate's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.0% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.40 million shares sold short, which is 1.04% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Allstate has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Allstate's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Allstate's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of insurance companies are trading higher. The industry may be gaining amid a rise in insurance premiums.

The Hughes fire has grown to more than 10,000 acres Thursday and forced more than 31,000 Californians to evacuate an area near Castaic Lake, about 45 miles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43149396/new-fire-breaks-out-in-los-angeles-county">northwest of Los Angeles.</a>&nbsp;
What To Know: The latest fire to ravage the L.A. area broke out just before 11 a.m. PT on Wednesday and spread quickly under dry conditions and high winds.&nbsp;
&#8220;This vegetation is extremely dry," said LA County Fire public information officer Fred Fielding, as reported by NBC Los Angeles.&nbsp;
"We&#8217;ve had two years of above average rainfall (2023 and 2024)&#8230; so you&#8217;ve got a lot of these light grasses where these fires can start, and if it gets into that old growth vegetation there&#8217;s a lot of energy there. Combine that with the winds, and you&#8217;ve got a recipe for a very high rate of spread.&#8221;

As of Wednesday night, the Hughes fire was 14% contained, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. A red flag warning has been extended through 10 a.m. Friday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>), one of the major insurers in Southern California, addressed the California wildfires on its quarterly earnings call on Wednesday.

LA Wildfire Update: Hughes Fire Burns 10,000 Acres, Travelers Insurance Says Fires Will Have 'Material Impact' On Q1 Earnings

As the earnings season gets underway, analysts from BofA Securities released a preview on Friday of what to expect from major insurers' fourth-quarter reports. 
The firm also took a look at how the Los Angeles area wildfires will affect the companies<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/42953761/santa-ana-winds-return-as-la-wildfire-damage-estimates-rise-to-at-least-250-billion-fire-officials-investigate-downed-power-lines"> in the current quarter. </a>
Allstate: BofA expects Allstate Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) to report $764 million in catastrophe losses for the fourth quarter, equaling a catastrophe load of 5.5%. The firm noted that Allstate reported net catastrophe losses of $286 million in October, which included losses from Hurricane Milton, unfavorable reserve re-estimates from Hurricane Helene and losses from other inclement weather events in North America.
BofA currently sees first-quarter catastrophe losses of $1.46 billion — 10.3% catastrophe load —  which includes $700 million from the California wildfires, where the firm expects Allstate to incur more losses from the Eaton fire as compared to the Palisades fire.  
BofA Securities maintained a Buy rating on Allstate shares but lowered its price target from $285 to $279. 
Allstate is set to report its fourth-quarter financial results on Feb. 5 after the closing bell. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $5.95 per share and revenue of $14.7 billion for the quarter.&nbsp;

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>) reporting $851 million in catastrophe losses, or an 8.1% loss ratio impact, for the first quarter. Chubb was exposed to adverse weather events around the world including European flooding, Hurricane Milton and other weather events in the U.S.
BofA pointed to Chubb as a major underwriter of high-net-worth homeowners' insurance and is modeling $1.9 billion, a 17.5% catastrophe load, of first-quarter catastrophe losses for the insurer. The California wildfires account for $1.3 billion of those projected first-quarter catastrophe losses.&nbsp;&nbsp;
BofA Securities maintained an Underperform rating on Chubb and lowered its price target from $272 to $266. 
Chubb is set to report its fourth-quarter financial results on Jan. 28 after the market close. According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzingo Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report earnings of $5.46 per share on revenue of $12.277 billion.&nbsp;

BofA models first-quarter catastrophe losses of $584 million, including $90 million from the California wildfires, with two-thirds of those losses from the auto segment.&nbsp;
BofA Securities maintained Progressive with a Buy rating and lowered its price target from $339 to $322.

Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.
Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.
