A win for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris could have implications for many sectors, including technology and electric vehicles, making the outcome of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election</a> important for investors.
A group of Wedbush analysts outlines the implications for the technology sector in light of Tuesday's election.
2024 Election Being Closely Watched: Wedbush analysts Daniel Ives, John Katsingris, Steven Wahrhaftig, and Sam Brandeis share their thoughts on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the technology sector</a> ahead of the 2024 election and what a win by either Trump or Harris could mean.
"U.S. Elections here with implications for tech on the table," the analysts said.
Technology investors are worried about the global implications of a Trump win with the potential for increased tariffs that could create tensions between the U.S. and China in the technology sector, the analyst said.
"Tonight the Street and tech world will be watching election results with white knuckles as there are many policy dynamics in the Beltway that will impact the tech sector looking ahead."

<li>Congress Is Making Huge Investments. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent110524">Get Tips On What They Bought And Sold Ahead Of The 2024 Election With Our Easy-to-Use Tool</a></li>
</ul>
What a Trump Win Means: The analysts said a Trump win could create major changes in tariffs and could impact the overall technology supply chain.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) are highlighted in the report as companies that could be negatively impacted by the possibility of retaliatory impacts from China.
The analysts said a Trump win could "slow the pace of the AI revolution."
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan is another critical figure to monitor, as she has exerted pressure on major tech companies and may advocate for breakups. The analysts said Khan is likely out with a Harris win, but could remain in the position if Trump wins.
The analysts added that Congressional races on Election Day could impact the chance of major policy changes for Big Tech regardless of who wins the White House. A GOP sweep of the White House and Congress could be bullish for the overall stock market but negative for Big Tech stocks.
"From a Big Tech/AI trade perspective we view overall a Harris White House win as more bullish on the margins and a Trump win as a net negative for Big Tech."
Given Elon Musk&#8217;s support for the former present, one of the big questions is whether a Trump win could be good for Tesla.
"We believe a Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry as likely the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled, however for Tesla we see this as a potential positive with some caveats."
The analysts said Tesla's size and scale could help the company without tax incentives, and it could have a "clear competitive advantage" with competitors losing subsidies and the potential of higher tariffs on Chinese companies.
"Higher China tariffs that would continue to push away cheaper EV players (BYD, Nio, etc.) from flooding the US market over the coming years."
What a Harris Win Means: A win in the 2024 election by Harris could be a positive for the electric vehicle sector, the analysts said.
"If Harris wins we would expect the EV tax credits to remain the same and ultimately increase in 2025 as the goal to get more US consumers towards EVs would be a laser focus in a Harris Administration," the analysts said.
General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) are named as companies that could benefit from a Harris win as they are betting heavily on electric vehicles and need the growth to continue.
The analysts said a Harris win could be neutral or slightly negative for Tesla.
Musk heavily supporting Trump in the election could have "negative consequences" in the future, the analysts said.
"For now, the ‘Musk betting on Trump bet' has seen a limited negative impact on demand in the U.S. although clearly this political dynamic could impact some customers to go away from Tesla when buying decisions ultimately come around over the next year."

Trump Win Could Hinder Tech, EV Sector Growth, 'Slow The Pace' Of AI Revolution: Analysts Lay Out 2024 Election Implications

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Ceva (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEVA#NYSE">CEVA</a>) is &#8220;way too high, and I think you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CEVA">should take something off the table.&#8221;</a>
Ceva will announce results for the third quarter on Nov. 7, 2024, before the opening bell.
&#8220;I love space stuff, and that's why I keep recommending Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>),&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>). If there's going to be something in space, it is going to be done by Elon Musk."
Intuitive Machines will release its financial results for the third quarter on Thursday, Nov. 14, before the market opens.
When asked about Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), &#8220;I want so badly for the company to do well, but I can't recommend the stock.&#8221;
The company is reportedly set to pause production of its F-150 Lightning from mid-November until the year&#8217;s end, citing weaker-than-anticipated demand for the electric pickup, Automotive News reported.
&#8220;They are in the oil service business, and oil is not a growth commodity. So, I'm going to say you can't own the stock here, as much as I really like them,&#8221; the &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host said when asked about SLB (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>).
The company, last week, disclosed that its OneSubsea joint venture won a contract from BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) for a subsea boosting system as part of the greenfield development of the Kaskida project in the deepwater U.S.
Cramer recommended taking something off the table, when asked about Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>).
Vistra will replace The AES Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) in the Dow Jones Utility Average, effective prior to the open of trading on Friday, Nov. 8.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>CEVA shares fell 0.2% to settle at $23.64 on Monday.</li>

Jim Cramer Says He Can't Recommend This Major Automaker, Ceva Is 'Way Too High'

Ford Motor Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) electric vehicle sales in the U.S. dropped 8.3% in October following a drop in demand for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ford-f-150-lightning">F-150 Lightning EV pickup truck</a>.
What Happened: Ford sold 6,264 electric vehicles in October, with its Mustang Mach-E SUV accounting for a majority of sales. 
The company delivered 3,313 units of the electric SUV, marking a surge of about 21% from the corresponding month last year. F-150 Lightning sales, however, dropped by about 50% to 1,863 units, dragging overall EV sales lower. 
Sales of the E-Transit electric van, meanwhile, jumped 181%.

Despite the drop in EV sales, Ford&#8217;s overall vehicle sales soared over 15% last month to 172,756 units, owing to the rise in sales for both hybrid and internal combustion engine vehicles. Combustion engine vehicles accounted for about 86% of the company&#8217;s overall vehicle sales during the month. 
Why It Matters: Last week, Ford said that it would halt production of the F-150 Lightning for six weeks from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41661764/ford-to-halt-f-150-ev-production-for-7-weeks-next-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nov. 18 to Jan. 6</a>&nbsp;at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Plant.
&#8220;We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability," a company spokesperson told <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a> about the decision.
The Lightning pickup truck is up against Tesla's Cybertruck in the U.S. While Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, Ford sold only 7,162 units of the Lightning, according to data from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41325252/tesla-cybertruck-leads-the-pack-as-most-popular-ev-truck-in-us-in-q3-outselling-rivals-from-ford-gm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Kelley Blue Book</a>.
In August, Ford said that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV</a>, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
For the third quarter, Ford&#8217;s EV segment called &#8220;Model e&#8221; reported an EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) loss of $1.2 billion after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41597865/fords-ev-segment-weighed-down-by-pricing-pressures-competition-ceo-jim-farley-points-out-very-aggres" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cost improvements were offset by industrywide pricing pressure</a>, taking its loss this year through the end of September to $3.7 billion. The company now expects a full-year EBIT loss of $5 billion from the segment.
Price Action: Ford shares closed up by about 1.4% on Monday at $10.36. The stock is down by about 14.8% year-to-date, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Ford EV Sales Drop Over 8% In October As Demand For F-150 Lightning Slows Down

Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; recently expressed his enthusiasm for space exploration and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) on his show. He also shared his thoughts on Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), CEVA Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEVA#NASDAQ">CEVA</a>), Schlumberger NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), and Vistra Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>).
What Happened: During the &#8220;Lightning Round&#8221; segment of his show, Cramer was asked about Intuitive Machines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITM#NYSE">ITM</a>), a company involved in space exploration. He <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/04/cramers-lightning-round-i-cant-recommend-ford.html">responded</a> by praising the space industry and Tesla, stating, &#8220;I love space stuff, and that&#8217;s why I keep recommending Tesla&#8230;If there&#8217;s going to be something in space, it is going to be done by Elon Musk.&#8221;
However, Cramer expressed his disappointment with Ford&#8217;s performance, saying, &#8220;I want so badly for the company to do well, but I can&#8217;t recommend the stock.&#8221; He also advised against investing in Schlumberger, citing the lack of growth in the oil industry.
Cramer noted on X, that NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) and ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) are "held back by autos,"

Why It Matters: Recently, he has emphasized the importance of owning rather than trading certain stocks, such as Nvidia Corp.

Furthermore, Cramer has been vocal about the potential of tech companies, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/11/41712755/jim-cramer-recommends-buying-this-tech-stock-that-is-a-terrific-situation">seen in his endorsement</a> of CyberArk Software Ltd.

Jim Cramer Keeps Recommending Tesla Because He Loves 'Space Stuff,' But He's Not Keen On Ford: 'I Can't Recommend The Stock'

&nbsp;
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Monday it has closed a probe into 411,000 Ford SUVs and pickup trucks over a potentially defective engine that could lose power without warning.
<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-opens-new-safety-probes-into-stellantis-gm-ford-vehicles-2022-07-26/">In July 2022</a>, the U.S. auto safety regulator opened its investigation into Ford Bronco vehicles equipped with 2.7L EcoBoost engines over concerns of a faulty valvetrain.
The probe was expanded later to include other models including the Ford Edge, F-150, Explorer and Lincoln Aviator and Nautilus vehicles with 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engines from the 2021 and 2022 model years.
Under normal driving conditions and without warning, vehicles may lose power and be unable to restart due to a faulty valve. NHTSA said it had 1,066 unique vehicle reports of the issue.
Earlier this year, Ford recalled 90,000 vehicles after the automaker determined not all valves produced were defective, and that most failures occurred in vehicles that had been in use for a short time.
Ford's recall fix includes a dealer inspection and a test to determine if the vehicle has not met a minimum usage level to identify if it was equipped with defective valves.
NHTSA said the rate of reported failures related to the faulty valve issue has steadily decreased since November 2021.
Ford said data indicates the vast majority of failures have occurred before 20,000 miles with over half of all reported failures occurring before 5,000 miles.
Ford said it would provide an extended warranty coverage on the vehicles covered by the investigation for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs earlier.

In a post two months ago (&#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-08-25/ultimate-dei-scenario">The Ultimate Example Of DEI</a>&#8220;) I pointed out what appeared to be an extraordinary example of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at&nbsp;Peloton Interactive, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTON#NASDAQ">PTON</a>).&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Much More Qualified Can You Get?&nbsp;</h3>
Peloton&nbsp;(PTON) is best known for its stationary exercise bikes, but it also has rowing machines. And&#8211;you would think&#8211;the best-qualified person to teach its rowing classes, Nick Mead, who just won an Olympic gold medal in rowing. But Peloton has Mead working logistics for them instead.&nbsp;

Bear in mind, being a Peloton instructor can be a pretty good gig. As ChatGPT notes,&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">On average, Peloton instructors are reported to make between&nbsp;$100,000 and $500,000 per year. Some of the most popular instructors, who have built large followings and have become key figures in the Peloton community, may earn even more, potentially reaching up to&nbsp;$1 million per year&nbsp;when including bonuses, endorsements, and other income streams.
</blockquote>
For example, some Pelton instructors have published books, that wouldn&#8217;t have sold without their Peloton followings. Others have endorsed sports drinks, appeared in commercials for them, etc.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Peloton Has Teaching Its Rowing Classes</h3>
So who did Peloton hire as a rowing instructor over Nick Mead, the Olympic gold medalist? One rowing instructor they hired was Ash Pryor, who helpfully informs readers on her Peloton bio that she is a black woman.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Away From DEI?</h3>
Peloton&#8217;s employment of Ash Pryor as a rowing instructor was consistent with some of their recent advertising, which eschewed straight white males. That seems to be changing. This month, they announced a new ad campaign with retired NFL defensive end JJ Watt and his brother, current NFL defensive end TJ Watt.&nbsp;

On Thursday, shares of Peloton spiked nearly 28% after the company reported an earnings beat and the hiring of a new CEO, Peter Stern.

Could Peloton Be Moving Away From DEI?

The U.S. stock market experienced a setback at the end of October, breaking a five-month winning streak as election uncertainties and mixed tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">earnings dampened risk sentiment</a>.
A key measure of market turbulence, the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, surged by 34% last month, marking the third-largest increase for an October <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41665265/vix-index-notches-third-strongest-october-spike-in-an-election-year-s-p-500-snaps-5">in an election year.</a>
Tech giants' earnings were underwhelming, except for Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). None of the other &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; companies posted positive weekly performance. As a result, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) fell nearly 2% for the week. This marks the worst weekly performance in two months.
Among mega-cap companies, the top performers for the week were Charter Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>) and Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>), both rising approximately 9%. Booking also marked the strongest weekly gains since August 2022. 
The main laggards were Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), down 9% and 8%, respectively, for the week. 
On the macroeconomic front, the U.S. economy saw a surprising slowdown in job growth in October, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/41684710/us-economy-adds-only-12-000-jobs-in-october-sharply-misses-estimates-as-hurricane-strikes-pummel-hir">nonfarm payrolls increasing by just 12,000</a>—nearly a four-year low and well below the expected 113,000.
Factors such as hurricanes and strikes likely contributed to the hiring slowdown, while unemployment held relatively steady, indicating no significant rise in layoffs.
The labor market report has strengthened expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Markets are fully pricing in a 25-basis-point cut at Thursday's meeting and assigning an 85% probability to a similar cut at the Fed&#8217;s final meeting of the year in of December.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">State Betting Odds</h3>
As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, state-by-state betting odds reveal a tight race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona showing narrow margins, making them pivotal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/10/41589659/trump-vs-harris-state-by-state-2024-election-betting-odds-which-candidate-is-favored-to-wi">in the final outcome.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold ETF Surge</h3>
The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) saw $1.8 billion in inflows during October, its highest in over two years. Rising investment demand continues pushing gold toward record highs as investors turn to this safe-haven asset at a time of political <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41663633/biggest-gold-etf-posts-highest-monthly-inflows-in-2-5-years-as-investors-rush-to-">upheaval and fiscal uncertainty.</a>

Market Volatility Soars Ahead Of Elections, Tech Earnings Mixed, Strikes And Hurricanes Knock Employment Down: This Week In The Markets

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated with a statement from Ford.
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) will pause the production of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ford-f-150-lightning">F-150 Lightning pickup</a> truck for six weeks through the end of the year after Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck took over as the most popular EV truck in the U.S. in the three months through the end of September.
What Happened: The Dearborn-based company will halt F-150 Lightning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41661764/ford-to-halt-f-150-ev-production-for-7-weeks-next-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">production from Nov. 18 to Jan. 6</a> at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Plant, a company spokesperson told Benzinga in an emailed statement.
"We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability,&#8221; the company added.
The Lightning pickup truck is up against Tesla&#8217;s Cybertruck in the U.S. While Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, Ford sold only 7,162 units of the Lightning, according to data from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41325252/tesla-cybertruck-leads-the-pack-as-most-popular-ev-truck-in-us-in-q3-outselling-rivals-from-ford-gm"> Kelley Blue Book</a>.
In fact, the Cybertruck even outsold Ford&#8217;s best-selling EV, the Mustang Mach-E, in the quarter.
Why It Matters: Ford sold 23,509 EVs altogether in the last quarter in the U.S., less than Tesla and also General Motors who spurred EV sales with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41136007/gms-ev-sales-rise-in-q3-on-the-back-of-new-models-chevrolet-equinox-ev-tops-charts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new EV offerings</a>.
In August, Ford said that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV</a>, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
For the third quarter, Ford's EV segment called "Model e" reported an EBIT loss of $1.2 billion after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41597865/fords-ev-segment-weighed-down-by-pricing-pressures-competition-ceo-jim-farley-points-out-very-aggres">cost improvements were offset by industrywide pricing pressure</a>, taking its loss this year through the end of September to $3.7 billion. The company now expects a full-year EBIT loss of $5 billion from the segment. 
EBIT refers to earnings before interest and taxes.
Price Action: Ford&#8217;s stock closed 1.7% down on Thursday at $10.29, but rose marginally by 0.2% in premarket trading on Friday. Year-to-date, the automaker&#8217;s shares are down 15.4%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Ford F-150 Lightning Pickup Truck Production To Be Halted Temporarily After Tesla's Cybertruck Races Ahead In Q3 (Updated)

The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President Joe Biden leading the country for the last <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">nearly four years.</a>
With the 2024 presidential election nearing, here's a look back at the top performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, which was Biden's first year in the White House.
What Happened: Biden stepped down from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">the 2024 presidential election </a>earlier this year. While the current president won't be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if Kamala Harris is victorious in Tuesday's election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a> This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/top-10-best-performing-stocks-190949855.html">report </a>from InvestorPlace, and their sectors.
<ol>
<li>Devon Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>): 196.1%, energy</li>
<li>Marathon Oil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRO#NYSE">MRO</a>): 149.7%, energy</li>

<li>Bath &amp; Body Works (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>): 133.7%, consumer discretionary/retail</li>
<li>Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>): 127.4%, energy</li>
<li>NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): 125.5%, technology/semiconductors</li>
<li>Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>): 118.4%, industrials</li>
</ol>
The results above show that energy was a top sector in 2021 and represented several of the top-performing stocks for the year. Technology also had several companies on the list.

The list above included Nvidia, which was also a top 10 winner in 2017, during Donald Trump's first year in the White House.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/signature-bank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Signature Bank</a>, which was the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history, was a top performer in 2017.
Investors should consider whether these past results could repeat if Harris is elected and begins her presidential term in 2025. Energy isn't often thought of as a segment that could do well under a Democratic president, but past results show that the sector could do well, at least in the first year.
Coincidentally, energy was cited as a potential poor sector if Trump wins the 2024 election based on the 2017 results. What likely happened in 2017, and what could happen again, is a run-up in stocks during the election year and a potential selloff in the year after as investors take profits.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
&#8220;I think you&#8217;ve got to watch this sector closely,&#8221; Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world's many adverse events.

These 10 Stocks Were S&P 500's Top Performers In Biden's First Year: Could Trend Continue If Harris Wins 2024 Election?

Ongoing flooding in Eastern and Southern Spain has caused one of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/climate-change"> worst humanitarian disasters</a> in the region in decades.
What Happened: At least 158 people have been killed by flooding caused by torrential rain on Tuesday night and Wednesday, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckmgmdxg254t">according</a> to the BBC. The damage is concentrated around the Valencia region. In some areas, the eight-hour rainfall matched a typical year&#8217;s worth of rain.
<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/spain-flooding-51-dead-in-valencia-region-economic-hub-2024-10">According</a> to Business Insider, an early insurer estimate of economic damage caused by the storm &#8220;easily&#8221; exceeds 1 billion euros.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told residents to stay at home as more rain is expected to fall on Friday.
&#8220;To the villages and cities destroyed by this tragedy, I say the same: Together, we will rebuild your streets, your squares, your bridges," Sánchez said in a televised address, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/spain-flash-floods-people-killed-valencia-rcna177979">according</a> to NBC.
Why it Matters: Increases in the frequency of extreme weather events are widely attributed to climate change.
The automotive industry is prominent in Valencia. 
Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has a large manufacturing plant in Almussafes, just south of Valencia. This facility is one of Ford&#8217;s key production sites in Europe. Significant flooding or infrastructure damage in this region could disrupt operations or logistics, potentially affecting Ford's production timelines.
Iberdrola SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>) is a large utility provider in Spain. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/world/europe/spain-floods-valencia.html?smid=tw-nytimes&amp;smtyp=cur">According</a> to the New York Times, the flood left 155,000 customers without power. General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) does not have a manufacturing facility in the vicinity, though its partnership with Iberdrola and projects in Spain could cause some disruption.
Construction companies could stand to benefit from investment in the region following the cessation of the storm. Ferrovial SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FER#NASDAQ">FER</a>) and ACS Actividades De Construccion Y Servicios ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACSAY#OTC">ACSAY</a>) are among Spain&#8217;s largest publicly traded construction companies.
Investors should also pay close attention to the Spain-tracking iShares Msci Spain ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWP#NYSE">EWP</a>) for any volatility in the coming days.

Deadly Floods Strike Spain: 5 Stocks To Watch As Prime Minister Vows To 'Rebuild'

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Thursday.</a>
The company is reportedly set to pause production of its F-150 Lightning from mid-November until the year's end, citing weaker-than-anticipated demand for the electric pickup, Automotive News <a target="_blank" href="https://www.autonews.com/ford/an-f150-lightning-downtime/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>.
Including the planned holiday downtime in December, Ford will halt the F-150 production at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in suburban Detroit from Nov. 18. The company has sold 22,807 units in the first nine months of 2024.
According to Reuters, Ford has been consolidating its electric vehicle ambitions. In August, it announced that it would scrap plans for a three-row electric SUV and delay the launch of an electric version of its top-selling F-150 pickup.
Ford's F-150 EV is not a money maker despite higher sales in 2024. According to this report, Ford is offering dealers up to $1,500 for each 2024 F-150 Lightning they order from new EV distribution centers.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, F stock has lost over 15.42% year-to-date. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;the First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXR#NASDAQ">FTXR</a>) and&nbsp;the WBI Power Factor High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBIY#NYSE">WBIY</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Ford Motor A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/F" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ford Motor's</a> page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Ford Motor does pay a dividend, which yields 4.89% per year as of the closing price on Oct. 31, 2024. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends" rel="noreferrer noopener">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 17.18%, you'll need to buy a share of Cryo-Cell International by the Nov. 15, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.25 on Nov. 29, 2024.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/F" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ford Motor</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
Price Action: F shares are trading lower by 1.67% to $10.30 at last check Thursday.
