How Trump's policies could impact Big Tech
Morningstar technology analyst William Kerwin joins Morning Brief to discuss the potential impact of the Trump administration on Big Tech companies. While Kerwin notes that "a lot remains to be seen," he is focused on how Trump's trade policies could affect companies like Apple (AAPL) that have a presence in China. Kerwin believes these companies may seek to diversify their trade relationships to regions like India or Southeast Asia, stating "it will be a trend across the sector." However, he cautions that high China exposure does not necessarily equate to high investment risk, saying, "You really have to unpack what's in that exposure." Regarding regulatory impacts, Kerwin thinks "there could still be some antitrust [action] against the largest of tech companies." But he also expects "M&A deals at the rung just below those largest of largest tech companies can start to pick up again over the next four years."
