Microsoft CFO Amy Hood Says AI Infrastructure Supply Will Be In "Good Balance" With Demand By End Of Current Fiscal Year

President Donald Trump's tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China went <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/44010093/trumps-plan-for-canada-mexico-china-tariffs-to-start-march-4-could-shake-stock-market">into effect Tuesday.</a>
A top tech analyst examines how tariffs might affect technology stocks.
The Analyst Takeaways: Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43442219/why-beer-tequila-avocados-cars-iphone-prices-could-rise-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-to-hurt-several-sectors">tariffs could create</a> a "game of geopolitical poker," but he isn't panicking.
"There have been many times over the past few decades that geopolitical tensions and government actions have been a major overhang on stocks," Ives said.
The analyst cites wars, international conflicts, policy issues, debt crises, COVID-19, supply chain concerns, and currency battles as factors that have weighed on stocks previously.
"With Trump's Mexico and Canada tariffs now beginning and China tariffs on deck, investors around the world are entering a very nervous period especially for growth stocks."
Ives encourages investors to take a step back and remember that it was known that some form of tariffs by Trump were going to happen.
"It's all about how long it lasts and when negotiations start to get to deals on the table with China, Canada, Mexico and many other countries on reciprocal tariffs."
Ives expects Trump's speech to Congress on Tuesday to lay out more plans on his tariffs and the investments being made by tech companies in the U.S.
"The biggest risk to this market and AI Revolution trade in the near-term was that Trump takes an aggressive approach to China, chip export controls and broader global policy."
Ives said DeepSeek helped accelerate the China policies and the semiconductor sector will likely see increased export controls around China.
"There is one chip in the world fueling the AI Revolution and it's Nvidia."
The analyst said that in the current AI Arms Race, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs are "the new gold or oil."
Ives said if the tariffs stay in place, "there will be major pain ahead for U.S. consumers."
"We caution this is all a game of high stakes poker to get other countries to the negotiating table and will very likely not last for an elongated period of time."

The Tech Winners: The analyst said tariffs aren't likely to slow down the long-term tech trade with AI being the biggest tech storyline since the Industrial Revolution. Ives said tariffs could slow things down in the near-term.
Ives calls the following stocks as the winners of the AI Revolution in tech that will "remain the stocks to own."
<ul>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): $325 price target</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>): $280 price target</li>
<li>Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>): $425 price target</li>

<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>): $550 price target</li>
<li>Nvidia: $175 price target</li>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>): $120 price target</li>
<li>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): $550 price target</li>
</ul>
"Any weakness is a buying opportunity in our view given the fundamental demand picture."
Ives said this is not the time to "run to the hills" and is the time to own the AI winners listed above.
Price Action: The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which often serves as a barometer of the overall tech sector, is down 1% to $491.91 on Tuesday. The ETF is down 4.0% year-to-date in 2025 and up 10.3% over the last year.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Caterpillar

Verizon CFO Says Prepaid Has Been A Drag On Service Revenue

As President Donald Trump threatens <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/44010093/trumps-plan-for-canada-mexico-china-tariffs-to-start-march-4-could-shake-stock-market">new import duties beginning March 4</a>, American businesses are exploring creative strategies to reduce tariff costs rather than moving production to the U.S.
The stakes are high, with Edward Steiner, senior director of international trade at law firm Sandler, Travis &amp; Rosenberg, describing sweeping tariffs as potentially &#8220;existential&#8221; for many companies, <a href="https://www.economist.com/business/2025/02/24/a-guide-to-dodging-donald-trumps-tariffs">The Economist reported last week</a>.
With Trump promising &#8220;no exceptions&#8221; to his trade policies, businesses that benefited from exemptions during his first term—like Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)—may find relief harder to secure.

Even relocating production from China to Southeast Asian countries might provide only temporary shelter.
&#8220;Companies could move operations to Thailand or Malaysia but end up having the same conversations in 18 months,&#8221; Dave Townsend of law firm Dorsey &amp; Whitney told The Economist.
Instead, many businesses are turning to &#8220;tariff engineering,&#8221; strategically modifying products to change their official classification. The practice <a href="http://files.lsba.org/documents/publications/BarJournal/Journal-Dec2017-Jan2018.pdf">dates back to at least 1881</a>, when the Supreme Court ruled that a sugar importer could legally alter merchandise to qualify for lower duty rates.
Modern examples <a href="https://blogs.pugetsound.edu/econ/2019/02/18/tariff-engineering-and-americas-favorite-shoe/">include Nike's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) Converse footwear brand</a>, which added a fabric layer to roughly half the insole of its Chuck Taylor All Star shoes imported from Vietnam. The design change reduced duties from up to 48% to as low as 7.5%. Similarly, Columbia Sportswear Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>) added pockets below the waist on shirts and blouses to shift them into lower-tariff categories.

Walt Disney's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) Marvel unit exploited similar tariff classifications to lower import costs, according to <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/this-is-why-your-converse-sneakers-have-felt-on-the-bottom-6016648/">Smithsonian magazine</a>. Under customs regulations, &#8220;dolls&#8221; representing humans face higher tariffs than &#8220;toys&#8221; representing non-humans. The comic-book company successfully argued in court that its action figures qualified as &#8220;toys&#8221; rather than &#8220;dolls,&#8221; despite questions about whether superheroes should be classified as non-human.
Additional tactics include using the &#8220;first-sale&#8221; provision, which allows importers to value goods based on manufacturer prices rather than the higher prices charged by middlemen.

Cash flow can be preserved by storing merchandise in bonded warehouses, where duties aren&#8217;t paid until goods are sold, or through temporary import bonds for items intended for re-export—strategies <a href="https://www.maersk.com/logistics-explained/storage-and-warehousing/2024/09/06/bonded-warehouses-explained">recommended last year by shipping giant Maersk</a> to its clients.
While the administration may eventually target the workarounds—customs officials <a href="https://www.foster.com/newsroom-alerts-Customs_Proposes_to_Eliminate_the_First_Sale_Rule">attempted to eliminate the first-sale rule in 2008</a> before being rebuffed by legal challenges—companies will likely continue finding creative solutions.
&#8220;People want stuff, and they&#8217;ll get it one way or another,&#8221; an unnamed trade lawyer told The Economist.
