Stocks may be in rally mode after former President Donald Trump's election victory, but not every sector is poised to get a lift. Clean energy One potential big loser is solar and clean energy stocks that benefited from tax credits instituted under President Joe Biden 's Inflation Reduction Act. Retailers Along with changes to clean energy, Trump has hinted at tariffs to buoy U.S. producers. The firm also highlighted companies with greater than 20% China exposure, including Crocs and American Eagle Outfitters , as being among potential tariff losers. STZ 1D mountain Constellation Brands falls amid Trump tariff concerns "With a 50% American whiskey tariff, we would expect BFB to pass some cost along to the consumer, which would put additional pressure on volumes," he wrote.

No matter who voters choose, whether it is former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris , Liwag doesn't expect a meaningful shake-up in the outlook for defense stocks. Still, the analyst notes that even cases where an administration cuts defense spending, stocks can still carve out gains. During the Obama administration, the defense budget fell 3.3%, but defense stocks gained 2.1%. The defense stocks Morgan Stanley covers have outperformed the S & P 500 since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Liwag said. "Historically, the conventional wisdom has been that Republicans are positive for defense spending and defense stocks, while Democrats are negative," Harned said.

While it was an asset to Biden in polling against Trump, it appears to be a much bigger advantage for Harris. And in this new NBC poll, Harris’ advantage was just under 20 points. It’s obvious at this point that Trump will win men by close to double digits, ditto with Harris among women. But many voters have seen "Vice President Kamala Harris" as a fresher candidate, including those who previously viewed Trump as a better steward of the economy. That would spell doom for Democrats' Senate majority.
