"Elon Musk-Led Group Makes $97.4B Bid For Control Of OpenAI; Bid Complicates Sam Altman's Plans To Make OpenAI A For-Profit Company" - WSJ

The &#8220;tariff man&#8221; is back, with President Donald Trump renewing his trade war impulses. So far he&#8217;s threatened tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, on all steel and aluminum imports. While Trump has relented, for now, on Canada and Mexico tariffs, the China tariffs have gone into effect, and China has responded in kind.
American companies do billions of dollars of business with China every year, and Chinese imports make up a considerable chunk of goods in the electronics, apparel, semiconductor, furniture, and toy industries here in the United States.
However, some companies have more pricing power than others. Firms with tight margins, ample competing substitutions, or inelastic demand may face consumer pushback on price increases.&nbsp;
Here are the five stocks that will suffer the most in a trade war with China.
Now, tariffs are simply import taxes charged on goods as they arrive at the border. A common misconception is that the exporting country pays tariffs, but tariffs are actually paid by the company importing the product as it crosses the border. Charging tariffs to the exporter would create a cluster headache as the government would be forced to collect taxes in various currencies; instead, the tax is charged to the imports and collected in US dollars.
Both left- and right-leaning economists agree that consumers eventually bear the tariff burden as companies pass on the cost increases to their customers. The companies that can least shift the burden to consumers that way are the ones that will suffer the most from tariffs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>)</h2>
Thankfully, the holiday season has come and gone because toys and games could be getting more expensive in the next few months. Hasbro is a 100-year-old entertainment holding company that owns popular brands like Milton Bradley, Parker Bros, and Wizards of the Coast. The company makes popular games like Twister, Battleship, and Monopoly, along with toy lines like Nerf, Transformers, Power Rangers, GI Joe, and Play-Doh.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153651/HAS-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-775290" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153651/HAS-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153651/HAS-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153651/HAS-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153651/HAS.png 1247w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Hasbro is on our sell list over rival Mattel due to its heavy reliance on Chinese factories to produce its goods, despite attempts to shift production to India or Vietnam over the last few years. Gross profits have been in annual decline since 2021, and while analysts are still primarily bullish, cracks are beginning to form. In January, Stifel cut its price target on HAS shares from $82 to $77.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>)</h2>
PDD Holdings is the United States equity of Chinese retail conglomerate Pinduoduo, which operates the discount merchandiser Temu. If you have a social media account, you've likely seen ads for Temu, which offers incredibly low pricing on a variety of merchandise, including clothes, sports jerseys, handbags, and other apparel.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153657/PDD-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-775291" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153657/PDD-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153657/PDD-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153657/PDD-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153657/PDD.png 1247w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Temu is one of the companies that will be heavily impacted by the decision to remove the de minimus exemption on packages arriving from China or Hong Kong. The exemption calls for a refrain from duties and taxes on merchandise received at the border valued under $800, which would describe nearly all the orders arriving on US shores from Chinese retailers like Temu. (Note: Trump reversed the exemption decision late Friday.) Retaliatory tariffs are expected from China as well, and analysts from JP Morgan, Benchmark, and Jeffries have all reduced their PDD price targets since election day in the US.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)</h2>
Even megacap tech stocks like Apple aren't safe from broad tariffs, especially considering how reliant the iPhone maker is on Chinese sales. And while putting a $3.5 trillion company on a sell list might seem bold, Apple has been under the microscope for the last few months. AAPL shares had a solid 2024 run, jumping from $165 in April to $260 by Christmas. But the company has started 2025 stuck in molasses, and shares are already down more than 8% year-to-date.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153703/AAPL-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-775292" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153703/AAPL-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153703/AAPL-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153703/AAPL-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153703/AAPL.png 1247w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Chinese iPhone sales are the obvious cause for concern. During its recent earnings release, Apple reported that iPhone sales in China declined 18% in Q4 2024, while competitor Huawei saw a more than 15% bump in smartphone sales in the same period. Apple may be forced to offer new discounts on iPhones to restore sales growth, and the looming threat of tariff retaliation could put even more pressure on Tim Cook's tech giant.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PVH Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>)</h2>
PVH has been dropping like a stone since cracking the $140 mark in December. The $140 price was the highest in over six years for PVH, but headwinds have rapidly materialized for the beleaguered apparel maker.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153708/PVH-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-775293" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153708/PVH-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153708/PVH-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153708/PVH-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153708/PVH.png 1247w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
These tariffs will significantly impact production as PVH has 128 factories in China, 40 more than the next closest hub in Vietnam. The company has manufacturing locations in more than 30 nations, but the Chinese manufacturing output is crucial due to the high quantity of skilled workers employed. Nearshoring or reshoring wouldn't resolve this labor issue, and high-quality PVH brands like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger should see the most significant price increases.
To make matters worse, China's Ministry of Commerce has now added PVH to its unreliable entities list and claims its practices "interfered with the operations of Chinese companies." Analysts at Wells Fargo agree with the concerns as they downgraded the stock from Overweight to Equal Weight last week and dropped their price target from $130 to $105.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Under Armour Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UA#NYSE">UA</a>)</h2>
Under Armour makes sports apparel and footwear, and its strong manufacturing presence in China has placed it squarely in the crosshairs of a trade war. UA executives have warned about pressure from tariffs since Donald Trump's election night victory. Under Armour has stated that only 15% of its production remains in China, but the company's tight margins and competition could spell problems for its bottom line.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153713/UA-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-775294" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153713/UA-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153713/UA-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153713/UA-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10153713/UA.png 1247w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
UA beat on earnings and revenue in the most recent February 6 conference call, but disappointing guidance sent shares tumbling. The stock lost more than 6.5% in the week of the earnings release as investors digested the guidance figures and tariff threats. No analyst covering the stock has updated their coverage since June 2024, but UA stock is clearly facing some serious headwinds as 2025 rolls along.

No one dreams of just barely scraping by in retirement. You want freedom, comfort, and the ability to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39069576/are-you-rich-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-be-poor-middle-class-and-wealthy">enjoy the life you've worked hard for</a>—whether that means traveling the world, spoiling the grandkids, or simply relaxing without worrying about bills. But here's the million-dollar question: Are you saving enough to retire richer than 90% of people?
You might be closer than you think.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gbr-savings-by-age">If You're Age 35, 50, or 60: Here&#8217;s How Much You Should Have Saved Vs. Invested By Now</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Do the Top 10% Actually Have Saved?</h2>
According to The Motley Fool's analysis of Federal Reserve data, the average retirement savings for the top <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41127976/are-you-a-rich-retiree-heres-the-net-worth-and-income-you-need-to-be-in-the-top-10">10% of Americans</a> (those in the 90th to 100th percentile) in 2022 was $1,296,683. This number might not seem jaw-dropping at first, but when you consider that the median retirement savings for households is just $87,000, it puts things into perspective.
Here's how it breaks down:
<ul>
<li>90th Percentile: $463,000</li>
<li>95th Percentile: $923,000</li>
<li>99th Percentile: $2,630,000</li>
</ul>
These numbers aren't just stats—they're a reality check. They show what the wealthiest Americans have tucked away to secure their futures. But they also highlight something bigger: the growing gap in retirement readiness.
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Did We Get Here? A Look Back in Time</h2>
The rise in retirement savings among the top 10% didn't happen overnight. Check out the growth over the years:
<ul>
<li>1989: $261,816</li>
<li>2010: $876,353</li>
<li>2022: $1,296,683</li>
</ul>
That's nearly a 5x increase since 1989. What's driving this? A mix of factors—higher incomes, savvy investing, compound interest, and yes, the increasing wealth gap. The rich aren't just getting richer; they're getting retirement-ready faster than everyone else.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Does This Mean for You?</h2>
Don't let these numbers discourage you if you're in the top 10% just yet. Instead, use them as motivation. Here's how to get on track (or stay there):

<li>Start Early, Save Consistently: The earlier you start, the more time compound interest has to work its magic.</li>
<li>Max Out Contributions: If you've got access to a 401(k) with employer matching, take full advantage. It's essentially free money.</li>
<li>Diversify Investments: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your investments across stocks, bonds, and other assets.</li>
<li>Reassess Regularly: Life changes—so should your retirement strategy. Check in on your savings plan at least once a year.</li>
</ol>
See Also: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
It's important to remember that these figures reflect the upper echelons of retirement savers. They're not a one-size-fits-all goal. What matters most is having enough to support your lifestyle in retirement, not someone else's.
If you're unsure where you stand—or how to improve your retirement game—consider <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">consulting a financial advisor</a>. They can help you set realistic goals, optimize your investments, and create a personalized plan to secure the retirement you deserve.
Because at the end of the day, it's not just about being richer than 90% of people—it's about having the freedom to live life on your own terms.

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.
