President Donald Trump's tariff announcements are expected on Wednesday, April 2, which he is calling "Liberation Day." Though details of his plan remain unclear, the president has said the tariffs are intended to strengthen the U.S. economy and bolster <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44592073/tariffs-could-shake-building-industry-homebuilders-plumbing-flooring-face-rising-costs">American manufacturing. </a>
What To Know: Trump has predicted tariffs on goods coming into the U.S. will lead to investments in domestic manufacturing and companies reshoring their supply chains. Here's a look at some companies that could benefit from large-scale reshoring efforts. 
Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase"> Trump Slaps 25% Tariffs On Autos: What It Means For Your Next Car Purchase</a>&nbsp;
Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) is the world's largest manufacturer of construction equipment and could benefit from a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43693234/will-the-tariff-bump-lead-to-a-steel-trap">construction boom</a> if more companies build factories and facilities in the U.S. 
CEO Jim Umpleby highlighted Caterpillar's position in the face of tariffs on the company's earnings call in January.&nbsp;
"We are a global manufacturer, but our largest manufacturing presence is in the U.S., and we are a net exporter outside of the U.S. and that positions us pretty well versus many other companies out there," said Umpleby. 
Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) is a pure-play industrial automation company that could see an increase in demand for its factory floor-level devices, such as motors, drives, sensors and relays if large-scale industrial reshoring occurs. 
Rockwell CEO Blake Moret expressed confidence Rockwell is in a strong position to minimize the impact of the tariffs in prepared remarks released with the company's most recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43588368/rockwell-automation-reports-first-quarter-2025-results">earnings report</a>.  
"Undoubtedly, there will be near-term disruptions and volatility in the global supply chain, both for us and our customers, but we continue to believe Rockwell is a net beneficiary of policies that increase U.S. manufacturing," said Moret. 
"Nobody is better positioned than Rockwell to help American manufacturers create the future of industrial operations,&#8221; Moret added.
More Stocks To Watch: Eaton Corporation PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) is an aerospace systems provider and data center technology innovator, which positions the company to capitalize on both tariff-related industrial modernization and the AI revolution's escalating power needs.
Fastenal Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAST#NASDAQ">FAST</a>) distributes construction, industrial and safety supplies and could see a pop if companies begin to reshore manufacturing and industrial supply chains as Trump's tariffs go into effect.

Looking into the current session, Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) shares are trading at $339.33, after a 0.95% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 9.51%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 0.78%. 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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740686436_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Caterpillar P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Caterpillar has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 23.13 of the Machinery 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/2025/1740686436_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.

From Sustainability To Reliability: How Laser Photonics&#39; Ethical Approach To Engineering Sets It Apart From Rivals

JP모건의 애널리스트인 클라우디아 휴스턴(Claudia Hueston)과 페드로 마틴스(Pedro Martins)가 마침 주요 인동지능(AI) 파급 효과 보고서를 발표했으며, 그 결론은 명확하다: 딥시크(DeepSeek)의 최신 LLM이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">기술 계층 구조</a>를 뒤흔들고 있다.
훈련 및 추론 비용을 대폭 절감할 수 있는 가능성으로 인해, 일부 회사들은 큰 이익을 볼 수 있는 반면, 다른 회사들은 힘든 시기를 겪을 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">승자들: AI 대기업들</h2>
JP모건의 딥시크 긍정적 영향 아래 묶인 강세 캠프는 AI 타이탄과 클라우드 리더들의 명단이다. 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), 아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) 그리고 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)가 AI 야망을 고려할 때 놀랍지 않게 목록의 상단에 위치한다.
하지만 이 물결은 브로드컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), 마벨 테크놀로지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) 및 마이크론 테크놀로지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>)와 같은 회사들까지 끌어올린다. 이들 모두는 AI 인프라에 필수적이다. 스노우플레이크(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), 데이터브릭스의 경쟁사인 컨플루언트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFLT#NASDAQ">CFLT</a>) 그리고 깃랩(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTLB#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>)과 같은 소프트웨어 플레이어들도 AI 기반의 비용 효율성으로 혜택을 볼 준비가 되어 있다.
핵심 주제는 무엇일까? AI는 실험 단계에서 실행 모드로 이동하고 있으며, 추론과 데이터 관리를 가능하게 하는 회사들이 이익을 볼 것이다.
더 알아보기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43487551/sundar-pichai-acknowledges-deepseeks-ai-advancementsbut-says-googles-gemini-still-leads-in-cost-performance-and-latency">순다르 피차이가 딥시크의 위협을 폄하 &#8211; 구글의 제미나이가 여전히 비용, 성능 및 대기시간에서 우위에 있다</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">패자들: 하드웨어의 후퇴</h2>
반대로, JP모건의 딥시크 부정적 영향 목록은 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)과 오라클(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>)을 위험 구역에 놓는다. 저렴하고 효율적인 AI 모델 덕분에 기존 하드웨어 제조업체들은 비싼 고출력 훈련 칩에 대한 수요가 둔화될 수 있다.
전통적인 중장비 투자에 대한 AI 기반 자동화의 영향으로 캐터필러(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>)와 커민스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>)와 같은 산업 대기업들도 타격을 받을 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">결론: AI의 다음 경제적 변화</h2>

원활한 AI 채택을 가능하게 하는 회사들, 예를 들어 세일즈포스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), 쇼피파(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) 및 크라우드스트라이크 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)와 같은 회사들은 수요가 가속화될 수 있으며, 비싼 기존 인프라에 과도하게 의존하는 회사들은 전략 재조정이 필요할 수 있다.

CNN 머니 공포와 탐욕 지수가 전체 시장 심리의 하락을 보여주었고, 수요일에는 지수가 &#8220;중립&#8221; 구역에 머물렀다.

S&amp;P 500의 대부분의 섹터가 부정적인 흐름을 보였고, 정보기술, 부동산, 헬스케어 주식이 수요일에 손실을 기록했습니다. 그러나 소비재와 통신 서비스 주식은 전체 시장 추세에 반하여 상승했습니다.
다우존스 산업평균지수는 수요일에 약 137포인트 하락하여 44,713.52로 마감했습니다. S&amp;P 500은 0.47% 하락하여 6,039.31로, 나스닥 종합지수는 0.51% 하락하여 19,632.32로 거래를 마쳤습니다.

CNN 비즈니스 공포와 탐욕 지수란?
현재 45.6의 지수를 기록한 이 지수는 수요일에 &#8220;중립&#8221; 구역에 머물렀으며, 이전 지수는 47.3이었다.
공포와 탐욕 지수는 현재 시장 심리를 측정하는 지표이다. 이는 공포가 높을수록 주가에 하락 압력을 가하고, 탐욕이 높을수록 그 반대의 효과를 준다는 전제에 기반한다. 이 지수는 7개의 동일 가중 지표를 기반으로 계산된다. 지수는 0에서 100까지의 범위를 가지며, 0은 최대 공포, 100은 최대 탐욕을 나타낸다.
