After the summary “Who Wins if the Supreme Court Kills the IEEPA Tariffs” are the Portfolio updates.

Who Wins if the Supreme Court Kills the IEEPA Tariffs

• U.S. import-heavy industries — especially electronics, retail, and autos — could see major gains if the Court rules the IEEPA tariffs illegal.
• Two big wins: no more tariff costs going forward and possible refunds on billions already paid.

Big Potential Winners by Industry

• Retail & Consumer Goods: Lower import costs could ease inflation pressure and protect margins.
  • Names to watch: Walmart, Home Depot, Target, Lowe’s, Amazon, Dollar Tree, Williams Sonoma, Ross, Dollar General.
• Electronics: One of the biggest import categories — could see an instant cash windfall from refunds.
  • Names to watch: LG, Samsung, Electrolux, Best Buy.
• Automotive: Auto parts and tooling tariffs are in focus — even partial relief would be a win.
  • Names to watch: GM, Ford, Stellantis.
• Manufacturing & Toys: Smaller manufacturers, including plaintiffs in the case, stand to benefit too.
  • Example: Learning Resources (educational toys).

What to Watch

• Scope of the Ruling: Could apply narrowly to the plaintiffs or broadly to all importers.
• Replacement Tariffs: The administration could reimpose new tariffs under different laws — uncertainty remains.
• Refund Red Tape: Even if refunds are approved, expect a slow, complex process.

Bottom Line:

If the Court strikes the tariffs, importers get a cost break and maybe big refunds — but trade policy moves fast, and the window for gains might not stay open long.

Key Strengths TTM Technologies:
