AutoZone Inc

Looking into the current session, AutoZone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) shares are trading at $3586.20, after a 0.65% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 4.90%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 19.59%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Comparing AutoZone P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
AutoZone has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 26.19 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745589619_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on AZO Options

Stock market expert Jon Erlichman recently shared a review of stock returns during the last six U.S. recessions, highlighting those that have performed well in difficult times.
In a video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Lm9FH-c70">post</a> and also on X, Erlichman shared his analysis of stock returns during the past six recessions in the U.S.
&#8220;The Great Recession, which was longer from 2007 to 2009. We added in the dot-com recession, the recession in the early 90s, and the recessions in the early 80s. So you look at that, you start to get a better sample size,&#8221; he said. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">We reviewed stock returns in the past 6 U.S. recessions. Here's a list of stocks that have navigated well during tough times. <a href="https://t.co/vPPsxp9UUE">https://t.co/vPPsxp9UUE</a>

</figure>
In alphabetical order, he mentioned about stock number one, AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>). He said that AutoZone is a great example of a stock that has done well during past recessions. Stock number two was Clorox (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLX#NYSE">CLX</a>). He said that Clorox is a great example of a stock that did well during the last recession.

The other recession proof stocks he suggested were, General Mills (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>), IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), J.M.

&#8220;And if you go back through all these six recessions, this is the stock that really stands out as a recession-proof stock. Now, of course, we&#8217;ve got the tariff uncertainty right now. That&#8217;s not great for retailers, but Walmart executives have already come out,&#8221; he said in the post. 
The analysis shared by Erlichman is particularly relevant in the current economic climate. With ongoing market volatility and uncertainty, investors are constantly on the lookout for stocks that can weather economic downturns. 
Erlichman&#8217;s review offers a historical perspective on stocks that have demonstrated resilience in the face of recessions, potentially guiding investors towards more stable investment options during turbulent times.

Stocks That Weathered Past Recessions: Expert Shares Picks That Withstood Every Downturn

Shares of auto component stocks are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's recent announcement of sweeping tariffs. The White House rebutted reports of a tariff pause and President Trump said the US will impose additional 50% tariffs on China if China does not withdraw its 34% increase. Auto part tariffs could increase costs for producers and suppliers.

A chaotic and volatile session kicked off the new week on Wall Street, with a start that offers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">little reason for optimism.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 opened with a gap below 4,900 points, then fiercely rebounded in the first hour of trading before the gains swiftly evaporated. Sentiment further deteriorated after Donald Trump adopted a more aggressive tone toward China.
On Truth Social, Trump stated that China had imposed retaliatory tariffs of 34%, on top of what he described as already record-setting tariffs, despite prior warnings that such measures would be met with significantly higher U.S. tariffs. He added that if China did not reverse the 34% hike by April 8, the United States would respond with additional tariffs of 50%, effective the following day.
He also indicated that all discussions with China regarding their requested meetings would be terminated, while negotiations with other countries that had expressed interest in talks would begin immediately.
The European Union signaled openness to implementing a zero-for-zero tariff agreement on industrial goods with the United States.
By 12:40 p.m. ET, the S&amp;P 500 was down 0.8%, the Nasdaq 100 fell 0.2%, and the Dow dropped 1.4%. Every sector remained in the red, with real estate and materials leading the losses.
In commodities, gold slipped 1.2%, heading for its third consecutive session of declines, while oil prices fell 2.3% to $60 a barrel, now down 16% from last week&#8217;s highs.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which had been spared from last week&#8217;s global market rout, joined the bloodbath over the weekend, dropping 6.4% on Sunday and holding at $78,000 on Monday.

Wall Street Turmoil Deepens As Trump Threatens Massive China Tariffs, Bitcoin Wobbles At $78K: What's Driving Markets Monday?

On Thursday, Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach discussed the impact of the U.S. reciprocal tariffs on retail companies.
On April 2, President Trump announced reciprocal tariffs, including a 10% hike on all countries except Mexico and Canada, with higher rates for select nations with trade deficits.
The most significant retail impact is expected from increased tariffs on major sourcing partners like Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Cambodia, said the analyst.
The U.S. is significantly raising tariffs on imports, with China&#8217;s tariff rate increasing to 54% (up from 20%). Other key sourcing countries like Vietnam (46%), Indonesia (32%), Bangladesh (37%), Cambodia (49%), and India (27%) will also see tariff hikes, while EU imports face a 20% tariff.
Canada and Mexico remain exempt under USMCA, though non-USMCA compliant goods will be taxed at 12%. Overall, apparel and footwear tariffs are estimated to rise to an average of 38%, noted the analyst.
Additionally, the de minimis duty-free exemption for packages under $800 from China and Hong Kong will end on May 1, 2025.
These shipments will face a 30% tariff or $25 per item, increasing to $50 per item after June 1, 2025. The Secretary of Commerce will review within 90 days whether to expand this policy to Macau.
The newly announced tariffs will pressure brands and retailers, forcing them to adjust pricing, negotiate with vendors, and optimize costs to protect margins.

While most companies will be affected, some are less exposed, including brands with lower U.S. sales exposure like Amer Sports Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AS#NYSE">AS</a>), Canada Goose Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOS#NYSE">GOOS</a>) and PVH Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>). Retailers with indirect sourcing, such as department stores and off-price retailers, could benefit from supply chain disruptions.
Companies that do not source their product from international markets or source from exempt regions, such as Savers Value Village Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SVV#NYSE">SVV</a>) with thrift business model and Kontoor Brands Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTB#NYSE">KTB</a>) reliance on Mexico, though it also sources from Bangladesh, are less exposed.
The analyst notes that brands with momentum and strong consumer engagement are likely to have more substantial relative pricing power in the marketplace overall.
The analyst noted higher exposure to incrementally new tariffs from Vietnam and Cambodia-exposed businesses include sportswear like Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>), Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and general apparel like Torrid Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURV#NYSE">CURV</a>), Figs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIGS#NYSE">FIGS</a>), Victoria&#8217;s Secret &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSCO#NYSE">VSCO</a>), and Gap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAP#NYSE">GAP</a>).
The Home Furnishings industry with companies like RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) and Williams-Sonoma Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) faces the greatest risk from tariffs due to its high exposure to China and Vietnam and the discretionary nature of its products.
RH sources 72% of its products from Asia, including 23% from China and 35% from Vietnam, while WSM has 23% China and 14% Vietnam exposure.
Retailers Five Below Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIVE#NASDAQ">FIVE</a>) and Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) are also vulnerable, with 60% of their products sourced from China. While Vietnam exposure remains unclear for most industries, home furnishing companies have the highest risk, said the analyst.
On the other hand, Auto Parts companies like Advance Auto Parts Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>), AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and O&#8217;Reilly Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) and Home Improvement retailers like Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe&#8217;s Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) are better positioned, as they can pass increased costs.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On AutoZone

The calendar may have flipped to April, but trade drama is still driving the markets. President Trump&#8217;s April 2 &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; announcement is only the latest White House effort to make imports more expensive.
One of the largest yet was the 25% import tax on cars and car parts announced in March. This has already changed how Americans shop, as car buyers raced to the lots last month to purchase new vehicles under the wire. Economists estimate that the price of a new car could jump by as much as $10,000 to $20,000, depending on the make and model. That&#8217;s likely to make people hang on to older cars for longer, or buy new ones as soon as possible.
However, with every shakeup comes an opportunity, and some companies may benefit from changing trends in the automobile industry. In this article, we'll review five car-adjacent stocks that could see tailwinds from auto tariffs.
Here are five car-adjacent stocks that could benefit from all this car trade drama.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AutoZone Inc.</h2>
AutoZone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) found its way onto one of our lists last year when Trump first began musing about tariffs and tailwinds for DIY auto parts stores, which have only increased with this new round of import taxes. AutoZone does source significant merchandise from Canada and Mexico, another pair of Trump trade targets. Still, company executives previously mentioned they expect to pass tariff costs back onto consumers with minimal pushback. 
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1NlTVRXnqNYDgnB05k-Fg2zH3MAmFpZlH0xqEC2y2vS68QL3CxW_10hBgTKi80CJ6oCtFNOkV4VZtwPJT1NN4mHcXJj_CFcNhuiLSW581nzb2Koj8cTiF1dS4kRdBo_yGKeIUjw?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
AutoZone is one of the ‘big three' auto parts brands in the United States, along with O&#8217;Reilly Automotive and Advance Auto Parts. In our view, AutoZone has the most promise, thanks to its strong margins, reasonable valuations and catalysts from changing consumer trends. The stock trades at 22.5 times forward earnings (compared to 28.9 for ORLY) and received two recent analyst upgrades, including one from Goldman Sachs's Kate McShane, a long-time AZO bear. The company's stock chart also looks promising, with a strong uptrend above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages and an 86.96 Momentum rating on Benzinga Edge's rankings. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CarMax Inc.</h2>
If new car prices rise, more consumers will turn to the used car market, where price hikes are expected to be less impactful. In this scenario, it would benefit to be the largest seller of used cars and trucks on the market &#8211; a title still held by CarMax Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMX#NYSE">KMX</a>) despite stiff competition from online startup Carvana.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdgPYDonDoAaLcYx0jUvqOW8qNo6hltEKVnlcDlZuRvPNAtIQSmxwLwv2QN8GoP6OTm4oFgw1VnxlDsGg1UiJN1Eb-YR844tbKZKMeInBsoc1qm5fs7ntqCAdrDbWLaE74cJjFmow?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
CarMax has the largest fleet of pre-owned vehicles available, and more than 80% of its revenue comes from the sale of used cars and trucks. While selling used vehicles is typically a low-margin business, CarMax has narrowed the gap with Carvana and posted a higher profit margin (1.77% vs. 1.54%) in Q4 2024. CarMax also has a robust financing department that should benefit later this year if the Federal Reserve continues cutting rates and loosening financial conditions. The company trades at 20.2 times forward earnings and just 0.47 times sales (compared to 3.32 P/S for Carvana) and recently triggered a technical buying signal with a bullish MACD crossover. Technical traders should keep an eye on the 200-day moving average for signs of resistance; a breakthrough above this level could trigger more upward momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ferrari N.V.</h2>
A premier Italian automaker might not be a typical choice to benefit from forceful US auto tariffs, but Ferrari N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>) is far from your typical car manufacturer. The typical Ferrari owner is not someone who buys a car for practical reasons, like commuting or hauling cargo. A Ferrari buyer is purchasing a collectible, a rare and expensive vehicle driven for pleasure (and to show off to other rich people). And collectors with the means to purchase a Ferrari aren't going to let tariffs deter them.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1c7aR6ZDtplLHJt74ycUuLxeO26dxptva56d_BPw8o4NIWotJXmPP8YfUIPpHM_f48aH72rn3uI7t541rrChfM3oGvUZG1hkcXGMx7lU2fK6wP4HzU1hiOULRtZ-wcZrpFVuvFg?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Ferrari has some of the strongest margins in car manufacturing- the company reported an impressive 22.8% profit margin in the most recent Q4 earnings call. It also projects 14.5% EPS growth over the next 12 months. It received a solid 69.79 Growth and 79.7 Quality scores on Benzinga Edge rankings. RACE was upgraded from Equal-Weight to Overweight by analysts at Barclays on March 28. The three most recent price targets from UBS, JP Morgan and Evercore indicate a potential upside of nearly 17% from present levels.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valvoline Inc.</h2>
Valvoline Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VVV#NYSE">VVV</a>) primarily sells oil and lubricants for cars and trucks through retail stores or its own chain of quick-service franchises, such as Jiffy Lube or Valvoline Instant Oil Change. Valvoline's fast service and products enable outsized profits, and its margins are some of the best in the auto repair industry.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc6PxAZQ6dDg2sRQQS4M1Gcwl9fi341gyTENTltPUrsW1_g1CksW3EjOsdgS9HHe7KWXPPg0o4rvX38IgQN6gVhjPJl7HCftkZ549zHX2grW7nzVv-zKeTwR-H4krb60x5H3c-8_g?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Traders will notice a potential double bottom pattern forming on the VVV stock chart, as the price has now twice dropped back to the $35 level that served as resistance in January. The stock also has a 16.82 P/E ratio and expects to grow EPS figures by 18% over the next 12 months. And if consumers are going to hold onto their cars longer, they'll need to take better care of them, which means no longer ignoring that pesky every-3,000-mile oil change.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.</h2>
Selling tires isn't exactly a high margin business either, but Goodyear (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GT#NASDAQ">GT</a>) makes our list thanks to expectations of future cost reductions, recent analyst upgrades, and a high domestic production rate. And once again, if consumers hold onto their vehicles longer, replacing wear-and-tear parts like tires will become more imperative.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfW0CeZYd6ptazygMBxPK_DtD9c72YPhopDWSaLFT-WXjUTHfp9AKswb3PyyLn6fwqcJRGKKBa8ApBppUEyYtHU7QfFghgNIhyUuExZpfiQtHwj6KnJ5w5P4PS3a3zfLxJ-xRs8sQ?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Goodyear received an upgrade from Deutsche Bank on the final day of March, plus a price target boost from $10 to $13, indicating a potential upside of 45%. Deutsche cited the company's chemicals division divestiture and sale of its off-road tires business as tangible cost-cutting measures. The stock trades at just 4.7 times forward earnings and 0.14 times sales. Benzinga Edge also gives GT an 89.90 Value score, as the stock price appears to be consolidating around the $9 mark. Look for shares to break out of their long-term range for the next leg up.

5 Car Stocks That Could Benefit From Trump's 'Liberation Day'

Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane on Tuesday highlighted concerns over market volatility, declining consumer activity, and ongoing economic uncertainty within the auto parts retail sector, which are influencing th<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets" rel="noreferrer noopener">e overall outlook on a few major players in the niche industry.</a>
As a result, the analyst adjusted ratings for Genuine Parts Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPC#NYSE">GPC</a>) and AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>).
Here are the key takeaways from the analyst:
Genuine Parts: McShane downgraded the stock from Neutral to Sell, lowering <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GPC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the price forecast from $133 to $114.</a>
The analyst writes that Genuine Parts is less well-positioned in the current market environment compared to peers like O&#8217;Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) and AutoZone, mainly due to recent underperformance at its NAPA business, slowing trends in its European Automotive segment, and potential risks from its Industrial division in the face of an uncertain macro environment.
While Genuine Parts&#8217; guidance for FY25 suggests a stronger second half of the year, the analyst views this recovery as dependent on steady improvements in end-market demand, which may face downside risks, particularly if current trends continue to underperform management&#8217;s expectations.
The analyst observes that comparable trends at Genuine Parts&#8217; European Automotive business have weakened over the past year, with the potential for continued softness in the near term, raising concerns about the company&#8217;s performance in that segment going forward.
The analyst has revised the FY25 EPS estimate to $7.82, down from $7.94, reflecting a more cautious outlook for the second half of the year in terms of both sales and margins.
Additionally, the FY26 and FY27 EPS estimates have been lowered to $8.60 (from $9.09) and $9.55 (from $10.06), indicating ongoing concerns about future performance.
GPC shares are trading lower by 0.81% to $118.18 at last check Tuesday.

AutoZone: McShane upgraded AutoZone from Sell to Neutral, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AZO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $3,044 to $3,811.</a>
The analyst has upgraded the stock, citing the company&#8217;s defensively positioned business, which appears increasingly attractive in the current macroeconomic environment.
Per McShane, key factors include improvements in AutoZone&#8217;s &#8220;do it for me,&#8221; or DIFM business, a recovery in DIY trends, and the auto parts industry&#8217;s strong pricing power, which should help offset any potential tariff impacts.
Since being added to the Americas Sell list on October 14, 2024, AutoZone&#8217;s shares have risen 19.6%, outperforming the S&amp;P 500, which declined by 4.8%.
The analyst acknowledges that trends in AutoZone&#8217;s domestic business have improved, contrary to their previous view, with the company gaining market share and seeing resilient demand, particularly from its DIY customer base.
Meanwhile, the analyst also notes that AutoZone&#8217;s current valuation, based on its NTM EV/EBITDA, is above historical levels, indicating that investors are placing greater value on the company&#8217;s defensive positioning amid current market uncertainty.
The analyst has increased the FY25 EPS estimate to $148.36, up from $146.65, driven by slightly stronger domestic same-store sales growth and revised tax rate assumptions.
AZO shares are trading lower by 0.03% to $3,811.74 at last check Tuesday.

Goldman Sachs Upgrades AutoZone to Neutral, Raises Price Target to $3811

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/s-p-500">S&amp;P 500 had</a> a rough start to 2025, sinking 6.53% over the first quarter, but not every sector suffered the same fate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy's Power Play</h2>

EQT Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>) followed closely, rising 19.61%, while Devon Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) and Coterra Energy (CTRA) also <a href="https://www.sectorspdrs.com/sectortracker">posted</a> double-digit gains.

Auto parts retailers proved surprisingly resilient, with O'Reilly Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) accelerating 17.64% and AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) climbing 16.33%. Yum! Brands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>), the parent company of Taco Bell and KFC, also managed a 15.18% gain, proving that fast food remains a winning bet even in choppy markets.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tech's Tough Quarter—But Some Shined</h2>
Tech stocks had a miserable run, but a few managed to buck the trend. VeriSign Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRSN#NASDAQ">VRSN</a>) surged 23.03%, leading the charge, while Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Roper Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROP#NASDAQ">ROP</a>) gained 11.87% and 11.21%, respectively. IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) also posted a solid 9.53% gain, and Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) continued its momentum, adding 8.56%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
With the second quarter underway, investors will be watching if Energy can keep its momentum or if beaten-down sectors like Tech and Consumer Discretionary stage a comeback. 
For now, it&#8217;s clear: Energy stocks ruled the first quarter, while Tech and Discretionary stocks got left in the dust.

Chevron, Exxon, Hess Lead As Tech Giants Stumble In Q1 2025

In the current session, the stock is trading at $3828.11, after a 3.98% increase. Over the past month, AutoZone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) stock increased by 11.13%, and in the past year, by 20.81%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Evaluating AutoZone P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
AutoZone has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 25.36 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743112843_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

목요일(3일) 골드만삭스의 애널리스트 브룩 로치는 미국의 상호관세가 소매업체에 미치는 영향에 대해 논의했다.
4월 2일, 트럼프 대통령은 멕시코와 캐나다를 제외한 모든 국가에 10% 인상을 포함한 상호 관세와 무역 적자가 있는 일부 국가에 대한 높은 관세율을 발표했다.
브룩 로치는 베트남, 인도네시아, 방글라데시, 캄보디아와 같은 주요 소싱 파트너에 대한 관세 인상으로 인해 소매업에 가장 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상했다.
미국은 수입품에 대한 관세를 대폭 인상하고 있으며, 중국의 관세율은 20%에서 54%로 인상될 예정이다. 베트남(46%), 인도네시아(32%), 방글라데시(37%), 캄보디아(49%), 인도(27%) 등 다른 주요 공급국도 관세가 인상되며, EU 수입품에는 20%의 관세가 부과된다.
캐나다와 멕시코는 미국-멕시코-캐나다 협정(USMCA)에 따라 면세 대상이지만, USMCA를 준수하지 않는 상품에는 12%의 세금이 부과된다. 전반적으로 의류 및 신발 관세는 평균 38%까지 상승할 것으로 예상된다고 로치는 지적했다.
또한 중국과 홍콩에서 출발하는 800달러 미만의 패키지에 대한 최소 면세 혜택은 2025년 5월 1일에 종료된다.
이러한 배송에는 30% 또는 품목당 25달러의 관세가 부과되며, 2025년 6월 1일 이후에는 품목당 50달러로 인상된다. 미국 상무장관은 90일 이내에 이 정책을 마카오로 확대할지 여부를 검토할 예정이다.
새로 발표된 관세는 브랜드와 소매업체를 압박하여 가격을 조정하고, 공급업체와 협상하고, 마진을 보호하기 위해 비용을 최적화하도록 강요할 것이다.
대부분의 회사가 영향을 받을 것이지만, 미국 내 판매 노출이 적은 브랜드들은 상대적으로 덜 노출될 것이다. 아머 스포츠(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AS#NYSE">AS</a>), 캐나다 구스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOS#NYSE">GOOS</a>), PVH(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) 같은 브랜드들이 이에 해당한다. 백화점 및 저가 소매업체와 같은 간접 조달을 하는 소매업체들은 공급망의 혼란으로부터 이익을 볼 수 있다.
국제 시장에서 제품을 조달하지 않거나 면세 지역에서 조달하는 기업들은 세이버스 밸류 빌리지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SVV#NYSE">SVV</a>)의 중고 비즈니스 모델과 콘투어 브랜드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTB#NYSE">KTB</a>)가 멕시코에 의존하고 있지만 방글라데시에서도 조달한다는 점에서 덜 노출된다.
로치는 모멘텀과 강한 소비자 참여를 가진 브랜드들이 전반적으로 시장에서 더 큰 상대적 가격 권력을 가질 가능성이 높다고 언급했다.
베트남과 캄보디아에 노출된 기업들이 새로운 관세에 더 높은 노출을 가지며, 여기에는 스포츠웨어인 룰루레몬 애슬레티카(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>), 나이키(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), 일반 의류인 토리드 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURV#NYSE">CURV</a>), 피그스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIGS#NYSE">FIGS</a>), 빅토리아 시크릿(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSCO#NYSE">VSCO</a>), 갭(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAP#NYSE">GAP</a>)이 포함된다.
홈퍼니싱 업계는 RH(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>)와 윌리엄스 소노마(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) 같은 회사들이 중국과 베트남에 높은 노출로 인해 관세의 가장 큰 위험에 직면하고 있다.
RH는 아시아에서 72%의 제품을 조달하며, 그중 23%는 중국, 35%는 베트남에서 온다. 윌리엄스 소노마는 23%의 중국과 14%의 베트남 노출을 보유한다.
소매업체인 파이브 블로우(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIVE#NASDAQ">FIVE</a>)와 베스트바이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>)도 취약하며, 이들의 제품 60%가 중국에서 조달된다. 베트남 노출이 대부분의 산업에서 불확실한 반면, 홈 퍼니싱 회사들은 가장 높은 위험을 가진다고 했다.
반면 어드밴스 오토 파츠(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>), 오토존(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>), 오레일리 오토모티브(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) 같은 자동차 부품 회사 및 홈 디포(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), 로우스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) 같은 주택 개선용품 소매업체는 비용 증가를 전가할 수 있기 때문에 더 나은 위치에 있다.
유사하게, 월마트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), BJ's 홀세일 클럽 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BJ#NYSE">BJ</a>), 코스트코(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) 같은 식료품 소매업체들은 상대적으로 안전하다.
중국에 대한 의존도가 최소인 기업들, 예를 들어 울타 뷰티(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>)와 배스앤바디웍스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>)도 이러한 관세에 대해 잘 대비하고 있다.

골드만삭스 "관세는 어패럴 및 홈퍼니싱 업계에 제일 큰 타격 줄 것" 경고...가장 취약한 주식은?

달력은 4월로 넘어갔지만 무역 드라마는 여전히 시장을 주도하고 있다. 트럼프 대통령의 4월 2일 &#8216;해방의 날&#8217; 발표는 수입품을 더 비싸게 만드는 노력에 불과하다.
3월에 발표된 자동차 및 자동차 부품에 대한 25%의 수입세는 역대 최대 규모 중 하나였다. 이는 이미 미국인들의 쇼핑 방식을 바꾸어 놓았다. 지난달 자동차 구매자들이 새 차를 구입하기 위해 전시장으로 몰려들었기 때문이다. 경제학자들은 신차 가격이 제조사와 모델에 따라 최대 1만 달러에서 2만 달러까지 오를 수 있다고 추정한다. 이로 인해 사람들은 오래된 자동차를 더 오래 사용하거나 가능한 한 빨리 새 차를 구입하게 될 가능성이 높다.
하지만 모든 변화에는 기회가 따르기 마련이며, 일부 기업은 자동차 산업의 트렌드 변화를 통해 이익을 얻을 수도 있다. 이 글에서는 자동차 관세로 인해 수혜를 볼 수 있는 자동차 관련 주식 5가지를 살펴보려고 한다.
이 모든 관세 드라마의 수혜를 받을 수 있는 자동차 관련 주식 5가지는 다음과 같다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">오토존</h3>
오토존(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>)은 작년에 트럼프가 처음으로 DIY 자동차 부품 매장에 대한 관세와 후폭풍에 대해 언급하기 시작했을 때 상승 가능한 종목 목록에 올랐는데, 이 새로운 수입세 인상으로 인해 그 영향이 더욱 커졌다. 오토존은 트럼프의 또 다른 무역 타깃인 캐나다와 멕시코에서 상당한 물품을 공급받고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 회사 경영진은 이전에 관세 비용을 최소한의 반발로 소비자에게 전가할 것으로 예상한다고 언급했다.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1NlTVRXnqNYDgnB05k-Fg2zH3MAmFpZlH0xqEC2y2vS68QL3CxW_10hBgTKi80CJ6oCtFNOkV4VZtwPJT1NN4mHcXJj_CFcNhuiLSW581nzb2Koj8cTiF1dS4kRdBo_yGKeIUjw?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
오토존은 오라일리 오토모티브(O&#8217;Reilly Automotive) 및 어드밴스 오토 파츠(Advance Auto Parts)와 함께 미국의 ‘빅3&#8242; 자동차 부품 브랜드 중 하나다.  강력한 마진, 합리적인 밸류에이션, 변화하는 소비자 트렌드에 따른 촉매제 덕분에 가장 유망한 기업이라고 생각한다. 오토존 주식은 미래 수익의 22.5배 (비교하자면 오라일리는 28.9배)에 거래되고 있다. 최근 두 번의 애널리스트 의견 업그레이드를 받았으며 그중 하나는 오랜 오토존 약세론자인 골드만삭스의 케이트 맥쉐인(Kate McShane)이었다. 오토존의 주식 차트도 50일 및 200일 이동 평균을 상회하는 강한 상승 추세와 벤징가 엣지 랭킹에서 86.96의 모멘텀 등급을 기록하는 등 유망해 보인다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">카맥스</h3>
신차 가격이 상승하면 더 많은 소비자가 가격 인상의 영향이 덜할 것으로 예상되는 중고차 시장으로 눈을 돌릴 것이다. 이 시나리오에서는 중고차 시장에서 가장 큰 중고차 및 트럭 판매업체가 되는 것이 유리할 것이고, 카맥스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMX#NYSE">KMX</a>)는 온라인 스타트업 카바나(Carvana)와의 치열한 경쟁에도 불구하고 여전히 &#8216;최대&#8217; 타이틀을 보유하고 있다.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdgPYDonDoAaLcYx0jUvqOW8qNo6hltEKVnlcDlZuRvPNAtIQSmxwLwv2QN8GoP6OTm4oFgw1VnxlDsGg1UiJN1Eb-YR844tbKZKMeInBsoc1qm5fs7ntqCAdrDbWLaE74cJjFmow?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
카맥스는 가장 많은 중고차 차량을 보유하고 있으며, 매출의 80% 이상이 중고차 및 트럭 판매에서 발생한다. 중고차 판매는 일반적으로 마진이 낮은 사업이지만, 카맥스는 2024년 4분기에 카바나와의 격차를 좁히고 더 높은 수익률(1.77% 대 1.54%)을 기록했다. 또한 연준이 금리를 계속 인하하고 금융 조건을 완화하면 올해 후반에 혜택을 받을 수있는 강력한 자금 조달 부서를 보유하고 있다. 카맥스는 순이익 대비 20.2배, 매출 대비 0.47배에 거래되고 있으며(비교하자면 카바나는 주가매출비율 3.32배) 최근 강세 MACD 크로스오버로 기술적 매수 신호가 발생했다. 기술적 트레이더는 200일 이동평균선을 주시하여 저항의 징후를 확인해야 하며, 이 수준을 돌파할 경우 추가 상승 모멘텀이 발생할 수 있다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">페라리</h3>
이탈리아 최고의 자동차 제조업체는 미국의 강력한 자동차 관세의 혜택을 받을 수 있는 일반적인 선택이 아닐 수도 있지만, 페라리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>)는 일반적인 자동차 제조업체와는 거리가 멀다. 일반적인 페라리 소유자는 출퇴근이나 화물 운송과 같은 실용적인 이유로 자동차를 구입하는 사람이 아니다. 페라리 구매자는 즐거움을 위해(그리고 다른 부자들에게 과시하기 위해) 희귀하고 값비싼 차량을 수집품으로 구입하는 것이다. 그리고 페라리를 구매할 수 있는 수단을 가진 수집가들은 관세로 영향을 받지 않을 것이다.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1c7aR6ZDtplLHJt74ycUuLxeO26dxptva56d_BPw8o4NIWotJXmPP8YfUIPpHM_f48aH72rn3uI7t541rrChfM3oGvUZG1hkcXGMx7lU2fK6wP4HzU1hiOULRtZ-wcZrpFVuvFg?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
페라리는 최근 4분기 실적 발표에서 22.8%라는 인상적인 수익률을 기록하는 등 자동차 제조 업계에서 가장 높은 마진을 자랑한다. 또한 향후 12개월 동안 14.5%의 주당순이익 성장을 예상하고 있다. 벤징가 엣지 랭킹에서 69.79점의 높은 성장 점수와 79.7점의 품질 점수를 받았다. 3월 28일에는 바클레이즈 애널리스트가 페라리 투자의견을 동일비중에서 비중확대로 상향 조정했다. UBS, JP모건, 에버코어의 가장 최근 목표주가는 현재 수준에서 약 17%의 상승 여력이 있음을 나타낸다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">밸보라인</h3>
밸보라인(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VVV#NYSE">VVV</a>)은 주로 소매점이나 자체 빠른 서비스 프랜차이즈 체인인 지피 루브(Jiffy Lube) 또는 밸보라인 인스턴트 오일 체인지(Valvoline Instant Oil Change)를 통해 자동차 및 트럭용 오일과 윤활유를 판매한다. 밸로라인의 빠른 서비스와 제품은 막대한 수익을 가능하게 하며, 마진은 자동차 수리 산업에서 최고 수준이다.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc6PxAZQ6dDg2sRQQS4M1Gcwl9fi341gyTENTltPUrsW1_g1CksW3EjOsdgS9HHe7KWXPPg0o4rvX38IgQN6gVhjPJl7HCftkZ549zHX2grW7nzVv-zKeTwR-H4krb60x5H3c-8_g?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
주가가 1월에 저항선으로 작용했던 35달러 수준까지 두 번 하락했기 때문에 트레이더는 밸보라인 주식 차트에서 잠재적인 이중 바닥 패턴이 형성되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 밸보라인 주식의 주가수익비율은 16.82배이며 향후 12개월 동안 주당순이익이 18% 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 그리고 소비자들이 자동차를 더 오래 보유하려면 더 잘 관리해야 하는데, 이는 더 이상 3,000마일마다 하는 성가신 오일 교환을 무시할 수 없다는 것을 의미한다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">굿이어 타이어 앤 러버</h3>
타이어 판매는 결코 마진이 높은 사업은 아니지만, 굿이어(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GT#NASDAQ">GT</a>)는 향후 비용 절감에 대한 기대감, 최근 애널리스트의 업그레이드, 높은 국내 생산률 덕분에 오늘의 목록에 올랐다. 그리고 소비자가 차량을 더 오래 보유하게 되면 타이어와 같은 마모 부품의 교체가 더욱 절실해질 것이다.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfW0CeZYd6ptazygMBxPK_DtD9c72YPhopDWSaLFT-WXjUTHfp9AKswb3PyyLn6fwqcJRGKKBa8ApBppUEyYtHU7QfFghgNIhyUuExZpfiQtHwj6KnJ5w5P4PS3a3zfLxJ-xRs8sQ?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
굿이어는 3월 마지막 날 도이치은행로부터 목표주가를 10달러에서 13달러로 상향 조정받으며 45%의 잠재적 상승 여력을 인정받았다. 도이치은행은 굿이어의 화학 사업부 매각과 오프로드 타이어 사업 매각을 가시적인 비용 절감 조치로 꼽았다. 주가는 순이익 대비 4.7배, 매출 대비 0.14배에 불과한 수준에서 거래되고 있습. 벤징가 엣지는 굿이어 주가가 9달러 부근에서 통합되고 있는 것으로 보이기 때문에 89.90점의 가치 점수를 부여했다.

트럼프 '해방의 날'로 수혜 입을 수 있는 자동차 관련 주식 5종목은?

기업 고위 관계자들이 대통령 당선자 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">도널드 트럼프의 관세 계획</a>에 대한 대응 전략을 이미 마련했다.



트럼프 행정부는 중국 수입품에 대해 평균 20%의 관세를 인상할 것으로 예상되며, 소비재가 아닌 상품은 60%까지 인상될 수 있다고 골드만삭스의 로니 워커(Ronnie Walker)가 화요일에 발표한 보고서에서 밝혔다.



자동차 수입에 대한 추가 관세도 예상되며, 다른 국가에서 수입되는 모든 품목들에 대해 10%에서 20%의 보편적 관세가 부과될 가능성이 40%로 나타났다.



골드만삭스는 3분기 논의를 분석하여 기업 의견을 바탕으로 세 가지 주요 전략을 도출했다.



미국 기업들이 관세 폭풍에 대비하는 방법은 다음과 같다:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">전략 1: 고객에게 더 많은 비용을 지불하게 하라</h2>



높아진 수입 비용을 처리하기 위해 많은 회사들이 직관적인 접근 방식을 택할 것이다: 가격 인상.



오토존(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>)과 베스트 바이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>)와 같은 주요 기업들은 관세 비용을 고객에게 직접 전가할 것으로 예상한다고 밝혔다.



골드만삭스가 강조한 바와 같이, 베스트 바이는 이전의 관세 부과 시 비용이 &#8220;주로 공급업체, 회사 및 궁극적으로 최종 고객 간에 공유되었다&#8221;고 인정했다.



비슷하게, 트래거(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COOK#NYSE">COOK</a>)는 &#8220;가격 책정은 항상 조정 가능한 요소이다&#8230; 대부분의 브랜드는 하락세를 완화하기 위해 가격 인상에 의존할 것이다&#8221;고 말했다.



골드만삭스의 경제학자들은 관세가 전반적으로 가격을 인상하는 경향이 있으며, 부담이 일반적으로 소비자에게 전가된다고 강조했다.



&#8220;트럼프 행정부 첫 번째 임기의 경험은 관세가 소비자 가격에 주로 전가된다는 것을 보여준다&#8221;고 워커가 적었다.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">전략 2: 수입품 비축하기</h2>



일부 회사들은 관세 발효 이전에 상품을 비축함으로써 관세 부담을 피하려고 서두르고 있다.



골드만삭스에 의하면, 아처 대니얼스 미들랜드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>)는 3분기 실적 발표에서 관세를 대비하기 위해 재고를 미리 쌓아두는 추세가 나타나고 있다고 언급했다.



클라루스 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLAR#NASDAQ">CLAR</a>)도 관세가 발효되기 전에 구매를 앞당겨 재고를 확보하는 것이 완충 역할을 한다고 강조했다:



&#8220;관세의 시기와 규모를 알게 되면 구매를 조정하여 재고를 쌓을 수 있다&#8221;고 클라루스가 실적 발표에서 말했다.



이 투자은행은 &#8220;우리 글로벌 경제팀이 최근 수집한 보고서에 따르면, 이는 이미 진행 중일 수 있다&#8221;고 덧붙였다.



중국에서 미국행 선적량이 2024년 선거 이후 눈에 띄게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 유럽 수출업자들도 잠재적 관세를 피하기 위해 선적을 미리 하는 것으로 보인다.



재고 비축은 일시적인 해결책일 뿐이며, 저장 및 운반 비용이 시간이 지남에 따라 마진을 잠식할 수 있다고 골드만삭스가 언급했다.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">전략 3: 공급망 재편성</h2>



많은 회사들이 관세가 높은 지역인 중국에서 공급망을 다른 지역으로 옮기는 것이 가장 좋은 장기 솔루션이 되었다.



지난 7년 동안, 미국 제조업체들은 중국 수입품에 대한 의존도를 줄이고 멕시코와 다른 아시아 국가로 선회해왔다. 골드만삭스에 따르면, 이는 관세 부과를 대비한 준비로 해석된다.



골드만삭스는 아메리칸 우드마크(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMWD#NASDAQ">AMWD</a>)와 스탠리 블랙 앤 데커(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWK#NYSE">SWK</a>)의 통찰력을 강조했다.



아메리칸 우드마크는 &#8220;중국 수입품에 대한 노출을 상당히 줄였다&#8221;고 밝혔으며, 스탠리 블랙 앤 데커는 생산을 &#8220;다른 아시아 지역이나 멕시코로 전환할 수 있다&#8221;고 언급했다.



그렇지만 골드만삭스의 경제학자들은 생산을 미국으로 다시 옮기는 전략, 즉 &#8220;리쇼어링&#8221;은 여전히 가능성이 낮다고 말했다.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">리쇼어링은 현실적인가?</h2>



&#8220;비용 효율적이지 않다&#8221;고 스탠리 블랙 앤 데커가 말했다. &#8220;미국에는 노동력 부족도 고려해야 한다.&#8221;



컬럼비아 스포츠웨어(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>)는 일부 신발과 의류에 대해 관세가 40%까지 높아져도 비용 차이가 국내 생산 증가를 촉발하지 않았다고 덧붙였다.



국내 제조를 더 많이 요구하는 목소리가 있음에도 불구하고, 미국 경제가 수입품에 깊이 의존하고 있다는 증거가 있다.



지난 10년 동안, 외국 중간재와 최종 제조품의 수입이 국내 제조 성장률을 초과했다고 골드만삭스가 밝혔다.



부트 반 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOOT#NYSE">BOOT</a>)는 중국에서 완전히 분리되는 것이 어렵다고 인정했다.



골드만삭스는 부트 반 홀딩스의 3분기 실적 발표에서 경영진의 발언을 강조했다: &#8220;우리는 중국에서 완전히 철수하지는 않겠지만, 노출을 잘 조절해왔다.&#8221;



좀 더 낙관적인 시각으로, 디지 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGII#NASDAQ">DGII</a>)은 상황이 허락한다면 미국 내 시설로 제조를 이전할 계획을 밝혔다.
