Nucor ( ) has delivered strong returns since President Trump imposed tariffs on imported steel last year. The stock has climbed 16% year-to-date in 2026 and gained 41% over the past 12 months, outperforming broader market indices amid protected domestic pricing. Higher tariffs - reaching up to 50% - shielded U.S. producers from cheap foreign imports, boosting revenues for companies like Nucor. However, reports indicate Trump is now considering scaling back these measures.

Exhibit A could be Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Senator J.D. Vance's (R-OH) "Invent It Here, Make It Here" bill. Despite the name and its good intentions, it condemns promising federally funded inventions to waste away without doing a thing to build our domestic manufacturing base.
