The 14 Fortune 500 stocks most exposed to the tariff war

Tariff uncertainty is roiling the markets and leaving major companies in a state of heightened alert. The global stock market plummeted after President Donald Trump instituted tariffs for the vast majority of the U.S.'s trading partners on April 2, wiping out trillions of dollars of wealth in the process. While the market rebounded after Trump announced a 90-day pause on certain tariffs, others are still in effect—notably a 10% tariff on nearly all global imports, a 25% levy on imported cars and auto parts, and a 145% tariff on goods imported from China are in effect as well. Companies are already feeling the pain—and some more than others.

To get a sense of which companies are getting hit hardest by tariff turmoil, Fortune parsed stock market data from Morningstar. The findings are shown in the chart below, which identifies 14 Fortune 500 companies, along with their rank and industry sector, and shows how their share prices performed since tariffs began to bite.

Apparel and retail

As the chart shows, the stock price of VF Corporation (No. 355) has been hit particularly hard, declining 30%. The global apparel and footwear company is known for its portfolio of brands, including The North Face, Timberland, and Vans. VF has a strong reliance on China and Vietnam—both prime targets for Trump's tariffs—for its suppliers.

Meanwhile, Wayfair (No. 346), the online retailer of home goods, has experienced a 15% drop. The company has higher exposure to Vietnam than some of its competitors. Shares of athletic apparel retailer Lululemon (No. 411) fell 7%.

Industrials, hardware, semiconductors 

The stock price for Arizona-based Microchip Technology (No. 447), a semiconductor company, was down about 20%. The company made its debut on the Fortune 500 in 2024. Currently, semiconductors are excluded from the tariff increases, but the stock price took a hit over concerns demand for chips would weaken. Microchip Technology's woes could soon worsen as Trump administration is now eying new tariffs on semiconductors. 

Western Digital (No. 334), a data storage company, saw its stock price fall about 12%. The company has a significant presence in China. Shares of Dell Technologies (No. 48) dipped 7% and HP Enterprise's (No. 147) stock price fell about 9%.

Medical technology and devices

The stock price of GE Healthcare Technologies (No. 206) fell 19%. Last week, GE Healthcare was among the U.S. companies that participated in a roundtable with China’s Ministry of Commerce. Despite ongoing trade tensions and China’s retaliatory tariffs, the vice minister of commerce said the country remains committed to reform and opening up.  

Vehicles and parts

Minnesota-based Polaris (No. 431) experienced an 18% drop. The manufacturer of power sports vehicles and related products has its largest factory in Monterrey, Mexico, where it once benefited from a long standing North America free trade regime—one that Trump has upended with new tariffs, including on the auto sector.

Cyclical and special retail 

Best Buy’s (No. 100) stock price has experienced a 17% dip. While the company only directly imports 2% to 3% of its own inventory, its costs are dependent on a complex supply chain that includes vendors heavily exposed to tariffs, Fortune reported. In March, the consumer electronics retailer warned of potential price pressure due to tariffs. 

The stock prices of clothing retailer Gap (No. 278) and home furnishing company Williams-Sonoma (No. 474) were down about 9%. Gap sources less than 10% of its product from China and less than 1% comes from Canada and Mexico combined, CEO Richard Dickson told Yahoo Finance in March. Dickson said the company has strengthened its supply chain over the last several years, would continue to diversify its product manufacturing footprint.  

During the most recent earnings call, Williams-Sonoma CEO Laura Alber addressed the company's supply chain. "We've been moving goods away from China. We've cut it substantially. We intend to continue to cut it substantially."

Consumer defensives

Target (No. 37) shares were down 9%. Target has reduced its reliance on China to about 30% of imports from more than 60%, Target CEO Brian Cornell recently said. 

Shares of bargain retailer Dollar Tree (No. 143) were down about 2%, less than the 4%  drop in the S&P 500 Index.
