A Potential Boost for Domestic Production?

  • Trump proposes a 15% corporate tax rate for companies making products in America
  • Lower tax rate could benefit U.S.-based manufacturers, car companies, and auto parts suppliers
  • Tax cut could reduce overall tax rates by a few percentage points
  • Potential valuation bump for affected companies: 5% to 10%

Former President Donald Trump has proposed a corporate tax cut to 15% for companies that manufacture products in America, raising questions about its impact on various industries. The current federal tax rate is 21%. If implemented, the proposal could benefit U.S.-based manufacturers like Caterpillar, Deere, and Boeing, as well as car companies such as Ford, General Motors, and Tesla. Tax rates for large, primarily U.S.-based manufacturers have averaged around 16% in recent years, down from 19% before the Trump tax cut. A potential valuation bump of 5% to 10% could result if half of the savings are passed on to customers and employees.
