President Donald Trump's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">new reciprocal tariffs</a> could undermine the billion-dollar AI infrastructure projects being spearheaded by leading tech companies, analysts warn.
What Happened: On Thursday, analysts highlighted the negative impact of the Trump administration's tariffs on technology equipment, which were levied at 34% on China, 32% on Taiwan, and 25% on South Korea, while also imposing a 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the U.S., reported Reuters.
The tariffs threaten to raise the costs of essential hardware used in artificial intelligence infrastructure, such as data centers, servers, and chips.

&#8220;Capital expenditure by tech giants will get reshuffled,&#8221; said Abhishek Singh, partner at Everest Group. &#8220;Expect major players in AI infrastructure and consumer tech to reallocate short-term spending away from expansion and toward procurement hedging or sourcing shifts.&#8221;
The tariffs are expected to increase the cost of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43908921/microsoft-pulls-plug-on-ai-data-center-leases-says-analyst-oversupply-situation-likely">building data centers</a> in the U.S., potentially delaying large-scale AI projects.
D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria pointed out that companies like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) have already begun to scale back their data center investments due to financial uncertainty.
&#8220;Microsoft has already started articulating a more balanced, cautious approach to their data center build-out,&#8221; Luria noted.
The most high-profile project affected is the $500 billion Stargate venture between Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), and OpenAI, aimed at building 20 data centers across the U.S.
&#8220;Stargate was already unlikely to get to that scale even before these things happened. Given the shock to the economy that these tariffs represent, it is highly unlikely that such a risky endeavor will be able to raise anywhere near that number in terms of debt financings,&#8221; stated Luria.

Why It Matters: President Trump&#8217;s sweeping new trade tariffs jolted global markets on Thursday, sparking a dramatic sell-off reminiscent of the pandemic-era crashes.

Trump's Reciprocal Tariffs Threaten To Derail Big Tech's Billion-Dollar AI Infrastructure Plans, Analyst Singles Out This OpenAI-Linked Project As Likely To Get Hit

As U.S. markets witnessed a blood bath on Thursday, owing to the imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration and growing recessionary fears, a handful of stocks thoroughly defied the odds, rallying amid the broader chaos.
What Happened: The Dow, S&amp;P 500, and the Nasdaq, all witnessed their steepest declines since the pandemic, with most U.S. stocks ending the day in the red.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1) Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Co.</h3>
Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber was a bright spot on Thursday, rallying nearly 12% amidst all the chaos, making it the day&#8217;s top gainer.
Edison Yu, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, believes Goodyear to be <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44614534/5-car-stocks-that-will-benefit-from-trumps-liberation-day">a &#8216;relative winner&#8217; of Trump&#8217;s trade wars</a>, as most of its U.S. demand is filled with domestic manufacturing. As a result, it is less exposed to tariffs on imports, relative to peers in this industry.
Yu further adds that Goodyear&#8217;s focus on replacement tires, which make up 85% of its revenue, is set to benefit from the auto tariffs, as consumers will stick with their vehicles longer, leading to more tire changes. The stock has been upgraded to a &#8216;BUY&#8217; with a price target of $13, as <a href="https://www.investing.com/analysis/why-goodyear-tire-stock-is-a-relative-winner-amid-tariff-turmoil-200659060">reported</a> by Investing.com.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2) Lamb Weston Holdings Inc</h3>
Consumer staples were, in fact, only 1 of 11 sectors in the S&amp;P 500 to finish the day higher, as investors rushed to safe havens, and Lamb Weston Holdings was one of them, gaining 10%.
Analysts like Citi&#8217;s Filippo Falorni have long considered staples to be recession-proof and resilient in the face of uncertainty, telling the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/consumer-staples-gain-on-rush-to-safety-after-tariffs-spark-market-rout-45d2582b">Wall Street Journal</a> that investors can expect &#8216;stable earnings and revenue even in a tough environment.&#8217;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3) First Solar Inc</h3>
First Solar rallied nearly 5% on Thursday, being an American-made solar panel company, which allows it to dodge tariffs that apply to its competitors.
Chinese-made solar panels, which were the company&#8217;s biggest competitors, are now at a considerable disadvantage. <a href="https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/energy-business/why-is-first-solar-stock-soaring-while-much-of-the-market-sags/">Renewable Energy World</a> reports that investors in solar energy will seek to avoid the massive 54% tax on Chinese panels, while also earning the tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act, giving a strong impetus to First Solar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4) Dollar General</h3>
Investors likely pursued Dollar General as another recession-proof stock, being a major discount retailer with nearly 20,000 stores, leading to a 4% spike on Thursday, and an 18% rally since the beginning of March. 
However, this theory doesn&#8217;t hold up too well, as Billy Duberstein <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2025/04/03/dollar-general-rallied-18-in-march-market-crash/">writes</a> for the Motley Fool, that during the post-pandemic inflationary period, Dollar General was hit with an expensive combination of inflation hitting its low-income customers&#8217; purchasing power, along with a rise in theft. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5) American Water Works </h3>
A public utility that provides water and wastewater solutions, American Water Works is well insulated from global trade, tariffs, and geopolitics, making it the perfect safe haven stock.
People are unlikely to stop using water during a recession, and add to this, the stock offers an annualized yield of 2%, making it a great pick for those looking to overcome the tariff upheaval.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump confirmed that the U.S. is <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43511395/trump-pushes-for-tiktok-deal-china-could-oblige-if-it-werent-for-those-tariffs-heres-what-we-know">nearing a deal</a> to spare TikTok from a potential ban, with ongoing discussions involving multiple investors and a possible tariff agreement with China.
What Happened: During remarks aboard Air Force One, Trump said, &#8220;We're very close to a deal with a very good group of people,&#8221; <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-03/trump-says-tiktok-deal-within-reach-involves-multiple-investors?srnd=phx-technology">reported</a> Bloomberg.

&#8220;You have a situation with TikTok where China will probably say, we'll approve a deal but will you do something on the tariff? The tariffs give us great power to negotiate. They always have,&#8221; he stated.
However, he admitted that he had &#8220;no knowledge&#8221; of whether Chinese authorities would approve the approach.

Trump Says US Near TikTok Deal, Reiterates Trade Relief Offer For China's Approval: 'Tariffs Give Us Great Power To Negotiate'

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) announced Thursday it will extend employee pricing to all car shoppers, a move that coincides with the implementation of new 25% U.S. tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44632051/ford-stock-falls-as-auto-tariffs-take-effect-whats-going-on">imported vehicles and auto parts</a>.
What Happened: The &#8220;From America, For America&#8221; promotion allows consumers to purchase 2024-2025 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including gas, electric and hybrid models, at prices typically reserved for company employees. The offer runs Apr. 3 through Jun 2, though it excludes Raptor models, 2025 Expedition and Navigator SUVs, and Super Duty trucks.
&#8220;We understand that these are uncertain times for many Americans,&#8221; Ford said in a <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ford-promo-employee-discount-trump-tariffs-car-prices/">statement</a> to CBS News. &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s navigating the complexities of a changing economy or simply needing a reliable vehicle for your family, we want to help.&#8221;
The promotion launches as analysts warn of significant price increases for vehicles due to the tariffs. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives described the situation as a &#8220;tariff torpedo&#8221; and &#8220;pure chaos&#8221; for the auto industry, estimating price hikes of $5,000 to $10,000 for typical vehicles, with luxury models potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">seeing increases up to $15,000</a>. 
Ford has already benefited from consumers rushing to purchase vehicles ahead of expected price increases. The company reported a 5% rise in first-quarter sales, driven by a 19% surge in March.

Why It Matters: The impact of the tariffs is already rippling through the industry. Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) announced production pauses at plants in Canada and Mexico, with temporary layoffs affecting 900 workers in the Midwest and 4,500 employees at its Windsor Assembly Plant.
The auto tariffs are part of broader trade measures announced by President Donald Trump, which analysts say will likely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">increase prices across various consumer goods</a>. Even U.S. manufacturers like Ford rely on 40-50% of parts sourced from abroad, making the concept of an all-American-made car what Ives calls &#8220;a fairy tale fictional narrative.&#8221;
Price Action: Ford stock closed at $9.54 on Wednesday, down 6.01% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 0.42% to $9.58. Year to date, Ford shares are down 1.14%.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Ford currently lacks medium- to long-term price momentum but benefits from a strong valuation and a positive short-term price trend. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

Ford Launches 'From America, For America' Discount Program As Tariffs Threaten Vehicle Price Surge

Miller Value Partners, led by Bill Miller IV, reduced its MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) holdings by 70% to 15,250 shares from 50,250 shares in the fourth quarter of 2024, according to a 13F-HR filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb. 14.
What Happened: With MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock declining 7.69% from $337.73 to $312.54 as of Apr. 2, the investment firm avoided potential losses of approximately $881,650 by selling 35,000 shares.
The firm had initially purchased 50,000 MSTR shares at $327.67 on Nov. 14, building an $8.47 million position. This investment yielded <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43295510/bill-miller-snapped-up-50k-microstrategy-shares-in-q3-was-it-a-smarter-play-than-bitcoin-etfs">considerably lower returns</a> compared to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETFs in the third quarter.

Why It Matters: This move follows a family legacy of Bitcoin investment. Bill Miller III, the founder&#8217;s father and renowned investor, made headlines for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40543953/despite-market-jitters-investor-bill-miller-stands-firm-on-bitcoin-an-insurance-policy-aga">early Bitcoin adoption in 2012</a>, purchasing the cryptocurrency at around $700.
The elder Miller, known for beating the S&amp;P 500 Index for 15 consecutive years at Legg Mason Value Trust, has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin as a hedge against financial instability.
&#8220;Bitcoin is an insurance policy against financial catastrophe, against inflation,&#8221; the senior <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40543953/despite-market-jitters-investor-bill-miller-stands-firm-on-bitcoin-an-insurance-policy-aga">Miller said in August</a>, recommending investors allocate 1% of their liquid assets to the cryptocurrency.
Miller Value Partners currently manages approximately $290 million in assets through its Miller Income mutual fund and two ETFs, focusing on value investment strategies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40543953/despite-market-jitters-investor-bill-miller-stands-firm-on-bitcoin-an-insurance-policy-aga">across various asset classes</a>.

Bill Miller's Firm Slashed MicroStrategy Stake By 70%: The Move That Dodged A Costly Hit

Large Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) holders sold out millions worth of the cryptocurrency Thursday ahead of the expected supply shock caused by the unstaking of SOL tokens. 
What Happened:&nbsp; Four whales unstaked and dumped a total of $46.3 million worth of SOL, according to on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain. Typically, when whales sell, it can signal a potential shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish.

The massive sell-off comes just ahead of the unlocking of $200 million worth of staked SOL on Friday, marking the largest single-day unstaking until 2028, according to on-chain analytics firm Arkham.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Typically, token unlocks are interpreted as bearish on the belief that the price of the asset will dip as the market is flooded with extra supply. However, widely followed cryptocurrency trader MartyParty dismissed the amount as &#8220;insignificant.&#8221;
It&#8217;s worth pointing out that the unlock amounted to about 5% of SOL&#8217;s total trading volume of $4 billion in the last 24 hours.
Solana allows one to lock up their SOL holdings to help secure the network and earn rewards in the process. One can deactivate their stake and, after waiting for a cooldown period, withdraw their tokens with the rewards.
As of this writing, over $44 billion worth of SOL was staked to the network, <a href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/asset/solana/analytics">according </a>to Staking Rewards, with an annualized reward rate of over 8%.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, SOL was exchanging hands at $114.81, down 4.33% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Year-to-date, the cryptocurrency was down 39%.

Whales Dump Millions In Solana Ahead Of Record Single-Day Unstaking — SOL Dips

While most discussions on trade and tariffs center around manufacturing and merchandise, software and service providers can be just as vulnerable. 
According to analysts, e-commerce software vendors and platforms such as&nbsp;Shopify Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>),&nbsp;Bigcommerce Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIGC#NASDAQ">BIGC</a>), and&nbsp;Lightspeed Commerce Inc.&nbsp;(TSE: LSPD) are now the &#8216;most exposed&#8217; due to recent events.
What Happened: On Wednesday, President Donald Trump closed the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-closes-de-minimis-exemptions-to-combat-chinas-role-in-americas-synthetic-opioid-crisis/">De Minimis exemption</a> for China and Hong Kong, which allowed low-value imports worth less than $800 to enter the United States duty-free.
This order is set to go into effect on May 2, 2025, with the President blaming deceptive practices used by Chinese shipping companies, along with the rise of fentanyl coming from China, for the decision.
According to analyst<a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/ecommerce-software-vendors-most-exposed-to-trump-tariffs-says-bofa-4755567">s</a> at Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), this is a major setback for e-commerce platforms such as Shopify and Bigcommerce. Duties imposed on the merchandise flowing through their platforms will certainly impact volumes, affecting their revenue models, as <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/ecommerce-software-vendors-most-exposed-to-trump-tariffs-says-bofa-4755567">reported</a> by Investing.com
The analysts stated that with intensifying competition in the e-commerce space, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44542821/inflation-will-accelerate-in-coming-months-if-april-2-tariffs-take-effect-economist-warns">passing the higher costs to consumers</a> is no longer an option. On the other hand, enterprise software firms are better insulated from this impact, given their focus on domestic clients, and less reliance on global trade.

Why It Matters: Every day, 4 million de minimis shipments from China are processed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection before being allowed into the country duty-free. Now, they will be charged either 30% of their value, or $25 per item, going up to $50 per item on June 1st, according to the White House fact sheet.
