Shares of consumer staples stocks are trading higher. The sector may be rising amid a rotation out of tech stocks and into risk-off stocks amid AI competition fears from China.

Illinois Gov.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jb-pritzker"> J.B. Pritzker</a> reaffirmed his commitment to protecting immigrant residents lacking permanent legal status in response to President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43084601/trump-day-1-executive-order-tsunami-incoming-energy-inflation-immigration-in-focus-but-what-about-tariffs">promised crackdown</a>, which was expected to get underway in Chicago.
Pritzker says he supports deporting individuals convicted of violent crimes but not law-abiding workers who are living in the country without permission. 
"I want criminals off the streets, and law enforcement officers to do their jobs," the Democratic governor <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/pritzker-promises-to-uphold-states-immigration-laws-amid-possible-ice-raids/3652713/">said</a> in an interview with NBC Chicago published Tuesday. "Undocumented people who are law-abiding and holding down jobs shouldn't be arrested just because they're undocumented."
Pritzker's remarks counter plans by Tom Homan, Trump's proposed border czar, who has pledged to dismantle state and local policies limiting federal enforcement. While fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids have intensified, no verified reports of immediate actions had surfaced as of Wednesday, <a href="https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/01/21/despite-reports-of-tuesday-immigration-raid-chicago-was-quiet-on-trumps-first-full-day-in-office">according</a> to WBEZ Chicago.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Negative Impact On Chicago&#8217;s Economy Could &#8216;Last For Years&#8217; </h2>
Trump's deportation policies are expected to disrupt key sectors of Chicago&#8217;s economy, heavily reliant on immigrant labor. The hospitality and restaurant industry is preparing for potential ICE raids, though fears and misinformation have already reduced business activity and patronage. 
Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-21/threat-of-immigration-raids-turns-chicago-hub-into-ghost-town?sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a> the second busiest retail corridor in Chicago, normally a bustling area with taco shops and Mexican grocery stores, is like a ghost town.
"It's going to be disastrous," said Jennifer Aguilar, who heads the local chamber of commerce and spoke with a number of the 400 or so businesses in the area. "If raids happen and people are too afraid to go out, it's going to be an impact that's going to last for years." 
McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), which is headquartered in Chicago, could face operational challenges and decreased consumer spending as the result of fear within immigrant communities.
Beyond Chicago, Illinois' agricultural and food processing industries could also experience supply chain disruptions.
Companies like Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>), which rely on global as well migrant workforces in their supply chains, could be affected by Trump&#8217;s threatened deportations.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Prisons Continue To Fare Well</h2>
Private prison operators like GEO Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>), the two largest in the U.S., both have contracts with ICE to house detained undocumented individuals. According to a 2023 ACLU <a href="https://wp.api.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/unchecked-growth-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-three-years-into-the-biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, over 90% of migrants detained by ICE are held in privately owned facilities. As such, both companies&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42692787/private-prisons-poised-to-prosper-in-second-trump-term">stocks are on the rise</a> over the last year. Geo and CoreCivic were trading lower Wednesday.

Barclays Maintains Underweight on Archer-Daniels Midland, Lowers Price Target to $50

Investors love high-growth stories, and they should.
Companies that are growing rapidly have the potential to deliver massive gains.
The problem is that Wall Street and most observers are not always using the right metrics to determine growth.
The most used metric is earnings per share growth. Nothing excites people more than a massive year-over-year earnings gain.
Once you have been at this for a while, you realize that a competent accountant can make the earnings per share numbers be almost anything their boss wants them to be.
Earnings management and even outright fraud can go on for longer than one would think.
Just as with people who bought into Enron, WorldCom, or any other companies that were Wall Street darlings until the ugly truth was revealed.
Many companies have been accused of other forms of accounting misconduct that led investors down a primrose path over the years, including stalwarts like Kraft Heinz (Ticker: KHC), Chemours Chemical (Ticker: CC) (Teflon manufacturer), and Archer Daniels Midland (Ticker: ADM), which have been accused of irregularities that made things look better than they were.
I tend to ignore reported earnings most of the time.
One of the greatest lessons I have learned over the years is that everything eventually shows up on the balance sheet.
I like to look at top-line revenue growth and then skip everything in between to look at book value growth.
This allows me to see what happens once management gets their hands on the money.
Did they use the cash wisely and invest the excess cash flow to increase the company&#8217;s value?
Or did they waste it and not create much value along the way?
If you want to see this theory in action, the three companies with the fastest book value growth in the S&amp;P 500(Ticker: SPY) are NVIDIA (Ticker: NVDA), Amazon (Ticker: AMZN), and Tesla (Ticker: TSLA).
Management received the cash, paid the bills, and grew the value of the business.
In this case, it does not matter what the price-to-book ratio value is.
We are not measuring valuations.
We are simply determining if management is converting revenues to real value at a high rate.
It is no accident that Warren Buffett has measured his success at Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) by the growth in book value.
It is the best way to measure growth.
Very few people look at stocks this way, so we can use the combination of revenue and book value growth to find some potential gems that are well under Wall Street&#8217;s radar.
Velocity Financial (Ticker: VEL) is a business that is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the housing affordability crisis.
Thanks to higher mortgage rates and a lack of inventory, people are renting for longer.
Velocity Financial (VEL) operates in an often-overlooked but highly lucrative niche of the real estate finance world, specializing in loans for real estate investors. This is not your typical Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac lending operation; Velocity thrives in the non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) space, targeting small- to mid-sized investors who need financing for rental properties and small commercial ventures. This is the bread and butter of the real estate world—the individuals who are rehabbing houses, growing rental portfolios, and breathing life into small business properties.
Velocity is not competing with big banks or institutions chasing the cookie-cutter borrower. Instead, it is laser-focused on a niche that is too small for the big institutions to care about but too complex for the smaller entities to handle. It offers tailored financing for single-family rentals, small multifamily properties, and even small commercial buildings like retail or mixed-use spaces. Borrowers are often small investors with solid property cash flow but not the financial profile big banks want to consider.
The loans are short- to medium-term, high-yield, and relatively low balance, which means Velocity captures some attractive interest income compared to traditional lenders. Velocity has built a scalable origination platform, using brokers and direct relationships to keep the deals flowing while maintaining tight underwriting standards. Their proprietary process focuses on the property&#8217;s cash flow, an approach that fits this market perfectly.
The business is growing impressively.
Revenue is growing at over 20% annually, and tangible book value has grown by about 25% over the past five years.
Given the niche market Velocity serves, I would expect the company to continue to grow at an above-average rate for several years. As Wall Street discovers this company, we could see buying pressure push the stock to much higher prices in the years ahead.
Red Violet, Inc. (Ticker: RDVT) is one of those under-the-radar plays that quietly builds an impressive moat in a high-growth niche. At its core, this is a data and technology company with a focus on identity intelligence and data fusion. In simpler terms, Red Violet takes massive amounts of data, turns it into actionable insights, and sells it to industries that need help solving some of their biggest problems—fraud, compliance, risk, and verification.
This is the kind of company that thrives in today&#8217;s data-driven world. It is not flashy, but it is indispensable to its customers. Red Violet operates through two key platforms: IDI Core and Forewarn, both of which are designed to make the complex world of data analytics simple and accessible for its users.
IDI Core is the workhorse of the operation. This platform is used by a variety of industries—financial services, insurance, government, legal—to verify identities, detect fraud, and conduct investigations. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife for anyone needing to sift through mountains of data quickly and accurately. It is the platform that makes businesses smarter, faster, and more compliant in an increasingly regulated world.
Then there is Forewarn, which takes a different tack by focusing on the real estate industry. Real estate agents use this tool to screen potential clients and assess risks instantly. With safety concerns on the rise in the field, Forewarn has carved out a strong niche in a growing vertical.
What sets Red Violet apart is its proprietary technology. They have built a scalable infrastructure capable of analyzing billions of records and turning them into something useful.
That is not just tech buzz. It is the foundation for why customers keep coming back and why the company&#8217;s business model works.
Sales and earnings are both growing at around 30% a year and have the potential to continue to grow at a very high rate.
As the dollars come in the door, Red Violet Management is using them to increase the value of the company at a rapid pace.

Under the Radar: The Importance of Book Value Growth in Assessing Company Stability

The chemical industry could be in for a turbulent 2025 spurred by increased demand, cost inflation and President-elect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/11/42235640/trumps-energy-policies-poised-to-reshape-oil-gas-market-winners-and-losers-revealed">Donald Trump&#8216;s PFAS policies</a>.
The Chemicals Analyst: Bank of America analyst Steve Byrne released a note covering the chemicals industry on Tuesday, upgrading and downgrading several companies:
<ul>
<li>Archer-Daniels-Midland Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>) from Neutral to Underperform, lowering its price target from $63 to $54.</li>
<li>Celanese Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CE#NYSE">CE</a>) from Underperform to Buy, lowering its price target from $95 to $88.</li>
<li>Eastman Chemical Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMN#NYSE">EMN</a>) from Neutral to Buy, lowering its price target from $115 to $109.</li>
<li>Element Solutions Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESI#NYSE">ESI</a>) from Buy to Neutral, lowering its price target from $32 to $28.</li>
<li>FMC Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>) from Underperform to Neutral, lowering its price target from $63 to $61.</li>
<li>Olin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLN#NYSE">OLN</a>) from Neutral to Buy, lowering its price target from $48 to $40.</li>
<li>Origin Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORGN#NASDAQ">ORGN</a>) from Buy to Underperform, lowering its price target from $2.50 to $1.50.</li>
</ul>
Main Takeaways: Agriculture stocks faced a decline in the waning months of 2024, amid market concerns over potential trade policies under President-elect Trump and the impact of rising interest rates linked to the federal deficit. Byrne believes the market has already re-priced higher risk.
The analyst believes chemicals will see increased demand with a caveat.
&#8220;We expect end-market demand to grow this year, although we&#8217;ve pared back expectations, given incremental headwinds from tariff concerns, a strong USD, and higher interest rate expectations, among others,&#8221; Byrne said. &#8220;Still, the U.S. Manufacturing PMI has been surprisingly weak and the risk-reward is skewed positively in our view.&#8221;
Meanwhile, the analyst foresees a return of inflationary pressures on input costs, squeezing margins.
Byrne says Trump&#8217;s election win and a possible &#8220;trade war&#8221; could slow GDP growth and hurt chemical companies&#8217; bottom lines. He notes deregulation and lower corporate taxes as a positive. The analyst suggests that Trump&#8217;s weakening of the EPA could pause certain regulatory initiatives, potentially increasing litigation risks for PFAS manufacturers.
Company Takeaways: Byrne cited declining profitability and increased macroeconomic risk for his Archer-Daniels-Midland downgrade.
The analyst upgraded Celanese&#8217;s stock based on an expected demand recovery, an attractive valuation and potential benefits from shareholder activism.
Eastman Chemical took a severe hit in 2024&#8217;s fourth quarter. Byrne says the market&#8217;s sell-off was &#8220;overdone&#8221; and is optimistic for future revenue and earnings growth.
Byrne downgraded Element Solutions and said there is better opportunity elsewhere. He noted possible currency headwinds.
FMC could face a tough recovery from its struggles in 2024, but Byrne is optimistic that the company&#8217;s EBITDA can rebound. The analyst says market multiples are &#8220;appropriately reflecting risks.&#8221;
Byrne says Olin&#8217;s valuation is &#8220;highly attractive&#8221; due to its high free cash flow yield. The analyst also said the company is insulated from Trump administration risks.
The analyst&#8217;s downgrade of Origin Materials is linked to doubts that the company will be able to license its technology and possible headwinds for sustainable products.
Price Action: Several of the companies showed sharp movement following the analyst&#8217;s note:
<ul>
<li>Archer-Daniels-Midland traded at $51.18, down 1.8%.</li>
<li>Celanese Corporation traded at $71.97, up 6.81%.</li>
<li>Eastman Chemical traded at $91.77, up 2.99%.</li>
<li>FMC Corp traded at $53.16, up 2.17%.</li>
<li>Olin Corp traded at $33.10, up 4.38%.</li>
<li>Origin Materials traded at $1, down 9.9%.</li>

<h3>Archer-Daniels Midland P/E Compared to Competitors</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.

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.

<h3>Comparing Archer-Daniels Midland 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 28.29 in the Food Products industry, Archer-Daniels Midland Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 14.18. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734966015_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.

US Funding Bill Draft To Include Plan To Allow Year-Round Sales Of Gasoline With Higher Ethanol Blend, Or E15; Funding Bill Provision Would Also Provide Additional Ethanol Blending Credits To Some Refiners

Canada is considering export taxes on goods, including uranium, oil and potash, if President-elect Donald Trump imposes the broad<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42451262/canadian-oil-sector-hedges-trump-tariff-risk-us-midwest-refineries-could-be-affected"> tariffs he pledged. </a>
The Details: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-12/canada-weighs-export-taxes-on-uranium-oil-if-trump-starts-trade-war?srnd=homepage-americas">report</a>, retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-made goods and export controls on certain Canadian products are most likely, with export levies also on the table as a last resort. The Bloomberg report cited officials familiar with discussions inside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government.&nbsp;
The sources also said Trudeau's government may consider expanding its powers over export controls as part of a scheduled update on the country's fiscal and economic conditions.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: U.S. oil refineries, especially in the Midwest, rely heavily on Canadian crude oil imports. Export levies would increase the cost of imported Canadian oil and potentially squeeze refinery margins. Some of the largest oil refiners in the U.S. are Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) and Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>).

Canadian export taxes on uranium could be devastating to U.S. nuclear energy producers with Canada supplying about a quarter of the uranium U.S. producers use for their nuclear reactors.&nbsp;
Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), the largest owner of non-rate-regulated nuclear plants in the U.S., and Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), which operates 11 nuclear units in North and South Carolina, could face supply disruptions as domestic uranium production is virtually nonexistent. The companies could pass along the increased costs to consumers in areas served by nuclear power plants.
American farmers rely heavily on imports of Canadian potash as a source of fertilizer. If Canada imposes export levies on potash,&nbsp;several American farm-related stocks could be affected due to the reliance of U.S. agriculture on the fertilizer.
Companies tied to crops heavily dependent on potash, such as soybeans, corn, sugar beets and potatoes could see increased costs. These companies include Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>) and Bunge Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BG#NYSE">BG</a>). Food producers, like General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) and Kellanova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/K#NYSE">K</a>) may face higher input costs for agricultural products reliant on potash fertilizers and could pass those costs along to consumers.

ADM Extends Share Repurchase Program Through 2029, Authorizing An Additional 100M Shares For A Total Of 300M; 114.8M Shares Remain Available For Future Buybacks

Corporate brass has already laid out counterstrategies to President-elect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff plans</a>. 
The Trump administration is expected to raise tariffs on Chinese imports by an average of 20 percentage points, with non-consumer goods facing hikes as high as 60 percentage points, Goldman Sachs&#8217; Ronnie Walker said in a Tuesday note.
Additional tariffs on auto imports are also expected, along with a 40% chance of a universal 10%-20% tariff on all imports from other countries, the economist said.
Goldman Sachs analyzed discussions over the third quarter and identified three key tactics based on insights from corporate commentary.
Here's how U.S. businesses are bracing for the tariff storm:
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategy 1: Make Customers Pay More</h2>
In dealing with higher import costs, many companies will take the straightforward approach: raise prices.
Major firms like AutoZone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) said they expect to pass tariff expenses directly to customers.
As Goldman Sachs highlighted in its note, Best Buy acknowledged that in previous tariff rounds, costs were &#8220;largely shared between vendors, the company, and ultimately the end customer.&#8221;
Similarly, Traeger Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COOK#NYSE">COOK</a>) said, &#8220;Pricing is always a lever… most brands will lean into price to mitigate the downside.&#8221;
Goldman Sachs economists highlighted that tariffs tend to raise prices across the board, with the burden typically landing on consumers. 
&#8220;The&nbsp;experience&nbsp;of the first Trump administration shows that tariffs are largely passed on to consumer prices,&#8221; Walker wrote.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategy 2: Stockpile Imports</h2>
Some companies are racing to get ahead of the tariff curve by stockpiling goods.
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>) indicated during its third-quarter earnings call that the trend of building up inventories in advance reflects preparation &#8220;for the eventuality of tariffs,&#8221; according to Goldman Sachs. 
Clarus Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLAR#NASDAQ">CLAR</a>) also highlighted that pulling forward purchases before tariffs take effect provides a buffer: 
"Once we get a sense of the timing and magnitude of tariffs, we can adjust purchases to build inventory," Clarus said on its earnings call, according to Goldman Sachs. 
The investment bank added: &#8220;Our global economics team recently&nbsp;collected&nbsp;anecdotal reports that suggest this may already be underway.&#8221;
Port data from China has shown a notable spike in U.S.-bound shipments since the 2024 election. European exporters are also reportedly front-loading shipments to avoid potential tariffs.
Stockpiling is only a temporary fix, as storage and carrying costs can erode margins over time, per Goldman Sachs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategy 3: Reshuffle Supply Chains</h2>
For many companies, shifting supply chains away from tariff-heavy regions like China has become the top long-term solution. 
Over the last seven years, U.S. manufacturers have been reducing dependence on Chinese imports in favor of Mexico and other Asian countries, according to Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs highlighted insights from American Woodmark Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMWD#NASDAQ">AMWD</a>) and Stanley Black &amp; Decker (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWK#NYSE">SWK</a>). 
While American Woodmark has "significantly reduced exposure to Chinese imports," Stanley Black &amp; Decker said it may shift production to &#8220;other parts of Asia, or Mexico.&#8221;
Yet Goldman economists said moving production back to the U.S., a strategy often referred to as &#8220;reshoring,&#8221; still remains unlikely.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Reshoring Realistic?</h2>
"It's just not cost-effective," said Stanley Black &amp; Decker. "There's also a labor shortage in the U.S. to consider."
Columbia Sportswear Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>) added that even with tariffs as high as 40% on some footwear and apparel, the cost differential hasn't spurred increased domestic production.
Despite calls for more domestic manufacturing, evidence suggests the U.S. economy remains deeply reliant on imported goods. 
Over the last decade, imports of foreign intermediate and final manufactured goods have outpaced domestic manufacturing growth, according to Goldman Sachs.
Boot Barn Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOOT#NYSE">BOOT</a>) acknowledged the challenge of fully decoupling from China. 
Goldman Sachs highlighted management remarks from Boot Barn Holdings&#8217; third-quarter earnings call: &#8220;We won't move completely out of China, but we've done a good job balancing our exposure.&#8221;
On a more optimistic note, Digi International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGII#NASDAQ">DGII</a>) revealed contingency plans to relocate manufacturing to U.S.-based facilities if conditions allow.
