What are U.S. companies saying on tariffs, Big Beautifull Bill, AI Investing.com -- U.S. companies are increasingly pointing to policy shifts, tariff mitigation strategies and artificial intelligence adoption as key themes shaping their outlooks, according to Morgan Stanley. The bank noted that “discussions of ‘order books’ and ‘raise guidance’ rose to recent highs this quarter as companies readjust their guidance post Liberation Day.” It added that earnings per share estimates have been revised higher for the Communication Services, Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Technology sectors for both 2025 and 2026. Morgan Stanley highlighted early benefits from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), saying “R&D expensing and bonus depreciation are providing an FCF boost.” The impact, it noted, is more visible in free cash flow than earnings per share, with companies guiding for benefits starting in the third quarter of 2025, particularly in Industrials, Communication Services and Technology. “We think the OBBBA has meaningful benefits that are underappreciated due to their FCF versus EPS impact,” the analysts wrote. On tariffs, Morgan Stanley said “corporate America is adapting on multiple fronts (pricing, supply chain, and cost control) to cushion the impact of higher import tariffs.” Companies have cited strategies such as pricing power, foreign exchange hedging, stockpiling inventory and diversifying supply chains. Some effects, such as price increases and cost-of-goods impacts, may not be clear until the third and fourth quarters. AI remains a dominant theme, with mentions “near all-time highs but ticked slightly lower from last quarter’s all-time high.” 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Morgan Stanley said companies are shifting from broad promises to more concrete updates, with adoption “still in the early stages of productivity gains.” It estimates that about $920 billion in AI adoption benefits could translate into $13–16 trillion in long-term market value for the S&P 500.

More US companies skip lender consent to add on debt, Moody’s says By Matt Tracy (Reuters) -A growing number of U.S. companies are seeking more flexible covenants in their credit agreements to increase their debt loads while avoiding approvals from all their existing lenders, according to a new report by ratings agency Moody’s Ratings. Moody’s said in a report released on Thursday that U.S. corporate borrowers with weaker credit profiles were leaning harder on their lenders to get more flexibility in agreements to take out more debt without full consent from existing lenders, as they struggled to issue new debt in public markets. Deals with covenant changes that ensured a boost to a company’s capacity to raise more debt - whether for opportunistic purposes or to avoid liquidity crunches - amounted to as much as 40% to 300% of their EBITDA, according to Moody’s. Such dramatic debt load increases present a major credit risk to existing lenders, especially when borrowers’ private equity sponsors use the added debt for dividend recaps, add-ons and acquisitions, the ratings agency noted. Borrowers on several recent deals have sought more flexible covenants to allow this greater debt capacity, it said, adding that 10%, or nine of 89 credit agreements, have done so between the start of 2024 and May 2025. All of the 10% involved PE-backed borrowers, the report noted. They included the initial proposed term sheets for debt that was funding PE firm Turn/River Capital’s leveraged buyout of IT systems provider SolarWinds in March, and KKR’s leveraged buyout in May of derivatives market software provider OSTTRA. These recent deals point to a growing trend of borrowers’ "unfettered access" to debt, even those in financial distress, Moody’s highlighted, as lenders in the public debt market face ever fiercer competition from lenders in the expanding private credit market. With KKR making headlines, savvy investors are asking: Is it truly valued fairly? In a market full of overpriced darlings, identifying true value can be challenging. InvestingPro's advanced AI algorithms have analyzed KKR alongside thousands of other stocks to uncover hidden gems. These undervalued stocks, potentially including KKR, could offer substantial returns as the market corrects. In 2024 alone, our AI identified several undervalued stocks that later surged by 30 or more. Is KKR poised for similar growth? Don't miss the opportunity to find out.

Exclusive-India may let US, foreign firms bid for government contracts, sources say NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India is opening up a chunk of its protected government procurement market to foreign firms, including the U.S, two government sources said, in a shift that could extend to other trading partners after it was offered to the UK under a trade deal this month. The government is likely to allow U.S. firms to bid for contracts worth over $50 billion, mainly from federal entities, as it negotiates a trade deal with Washington, the sources said. Total public procurement - including by federal, state and local governments and state-run firms - is worth an estimated $700 billion-$750 billion per year, according to government estimates. Most is reserved for domestic firms, with 25% set aside for small businesses, although sectors like railways and defence can buy from foreign suppliers when domestic options are unavailable. Earlier this month, India and the UK agreed on a free trade pact that gives British firms access to federal government contracts in select sectors - covering goods, services and construction - on a reciprocal basis. "In a policy shift, India has agreed to open its public procurement contracts gradually to trading partners including the U.S. in a phased manner and reciprocal manner," said one of the officials, with the knowledge of the matter. Only a portion of the government’s procurement contracts - mainly linked to federal projects worth around $50-$60 billion - will be opened to foreign firms, while state and local government purchases will be excluded, the official said. "Following the UK pact, India is ready to open a part of its public procurement market to the U.S. as well," said a second official. Both sources requested anonymity, as details of the ongoing talks have not been made public. The commerce ministry did not respond to requests for comment on the U.S. proposal or extending the plan to other nations. India has long resisted joining the World Trade Organisation’s Government Procurement Agreement, citing the need to protect small businesses. In its March report on foreign trade barriers, the U.S. Trade Representative said India’s restrictive procurement policies pose challenges for U.S. firms due to "changing rules and limited opportunities." Indian Trade Minister Piyush Goyal visited Washington this week to advance trade talks, with both sides aiming to sign an interim agreement by early July, officials said. New Delhi is pushing to clinch a trade deal with the U.S. within the 90-day pause on tariff hikes announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 9 for major trading partners, which includes a 26% tariff on imports from India. The commerce ministry said in a text message that UK firms would only be allowed limited access to bid for contracts of non-sensitive federal entities, excluding state and local government procurement. UK-based suppliers can bid for Indian tenders above 2 billion rupees ($23.26 million) while the UK will offer non-discriminatory access to Indian suppliers under its public procurement system, the ministry said. The government has assured small industry that a quarter of the orders will be reserved for them, said Anil Bhardwaj, secretary general of the Federation of Indian Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (FISME), a leading industry body.

President Trump is slapping high tariffs on China over the trade deficit—ignoring that most imports are actually from US companies operating in China.

Factbox-US companies most vulnerable to China’s retaliatory import tariffs SHANGHAI/BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s move to impose 34% tariffs on all U.S. goods in a tit-for-tat blow against U.S. President Donald Trump is set to roil industries from aviation to agriculture. Here are some of the U.S. sectors and companies that are set to take the biggest hit: PLANES China’s retaliatory tariffs are set to hit Boeing (NYSE:BA) hard, making its planes far more expensive than those of rivals Airbus and Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC). While Beijing did not impose tariffs on Boeing during Trump’s first trade war with China, its sales and deliveries to China plummeted after 2019 following two fatal crashes of MAX 8 jets and amid intensifying tensions between Washington and Beijing over issues ranging from technology to national security. The import freeze ended in January 2024 but the imports only resumed in full force six months later. The country’s top three airlines -- Air China (OTC:AIRYY), China Eastern Airlines (OTC:CEAYY) and China Southern Airlines -- have plans to take delivery of 45, 53 and 81 Boeing planes, respectively, between 2025-2027, which could now be impacted by the higher prices. SEMICONDUCTORS China imports $10 billion worth of chips from the United States annually. About $8 billion of these are central processing units (CPUs) assembled by Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) in the U.S., according to Bernstein analysts. Such Intel CPUs are widely used in laptops and servers. China was Intel’s largest market in 2024, accounting for 29% of its revenue, up from 27% in 2023. U.S. memory chipmaker Micron (NASDAQ:MU) could also face some impact as some Micron chips sold in China are imported from the United States, though the company has production facilities in China and other countries. While Chinese companies are big buyers of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s artificial intelligence chips, these imports are not affected by China’s tariffs as they are produced and assembled in Taiwan by contract chip manufacturer TSMC. FARM EQUIPMENT For the U.S. farm equipment sector, China’s 34% retaliatory tariffs add to an earlier 10% tariff Beijing placed on the industry in March, impacting companies such as Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), Deere & Co (NYSE:DE) and AGCO. AGRICULTURE U.S. agricultural sector is set to be among the industries that are the worst hit by China’s retaliatory tariffs as China is the largest market for U.S. agricultural products. DAR). It also suspended imports of poultry products from Mountaire Farms of Delaware and Coastal Processing.

U.S. companies explore rare earth metals projects in Russia, says Kremlin Investing.com -- The Kremlin announced on Monday that certain American firms have expressed interest in participating in joint ventures related to rare earth metals in Russia. The discussions, however, are still in their early phases, according to the Kremlin. Kirill Dmitriev, the investment envoy for Russian President Vladimir Putin, confirmed in a statement to the Izvestia newspaper on Monday that discussions with American companies have already started. Earlier in February, Putin had hinted that the U.S. might be interested in joint exploration of rare earth metals deposits in Russia. Russia holds the fifth-largest reserves of these metals worldwide. These metals are critical components in various technologies, including lasers and military hardware.
