European Firms Face Risks from Potential 25% Tariffs on Canada and Mexico Imports

President Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico have raised concerns for European companies with significant revenue exposure to North America (NA) and reliance on cross-border supply chains. Bank of America (BofA) has identified several firms that are particularly vulnerable to these trade measures.

Key European Companies at Risk

  1. Stellantis (NYSE:STLA)

    • Supply Chain Exposure: 16 links in Canada.
    • Revenue from NA: 47%.
    • Impact: Despite no significant U.S. tangible asset exposure, Stellantis faces potential disruptions due to its reliance on Canadian supply chains and its substantial NA revenue stream.
  2. BMW (ETR:BMWG)

    • Supply Chain Exposure: 18 links in Canada.
    • Revenue from NA: 26%.
    • Asset Exposure: 18% in the U.S.
    • Impact: Tariffs could directly affect production costs and profitability, given BMW's intertwined supply chains and reliance on U.S. revenue.

    • Supply Chain Exposure: 5 links in Canada, 3 in Mexico.
    • Revenue from NA: 39%.
    • Impact: A significant dependency on the NA market puts Holcim at risk of higher production costs.
