5 Stocks to Buy on Trump's China Telecom Equipment Ban
Read MoreHide Full Article
President Trump is contemplating issuing an executive order to restrict select Chinese telecommunications equipment makers from selling products in the United States, per a Reuters report date May 2. Imposition of selling restrictions stems from U.S. administration’s concern for national security and will primarily target Chinese telecom equipment behemoths Huawei Technologies and ZTE.
The Trump administration had previously barred U.S. companies from selling products to Chinese counterparts due to apprehensions of Chinese spying on Americans utilizing these high-tech products. This move is evidence of the fiercely aggressive stance that the U.S. government is taking to protect innovative next-generation products of the U.S. tech giants.
However, the move does not sit well with U.S. companies that rely on Chinese imports as it will raise prices of telecom equipment utilized by telecom service providers. Nevertheless, a hike in product prices will certainly help U.S. wireless equipment manufacturers. That is why investment in some of these stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank should prove to be lucrative.
National Security Concerns Dominate Telecom Space
Trump administration is deeply concerned about China’s drive to unseat the United States as the primary developer and supplier of state-of-the-art products in the fields of high-tech artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum computing and various other digital technology driven sectors.
Notably, the Chinese government patronizes most of these big manufacturers. These companies have become serious threat to the U.S. economic and military supremacy. China runs a massive $375 billion yearly trade surplus against United States.
Huwaei, ZTE Targeted Earlier
In fact, the U.S. government made AT&T Inc. (T - Free Report) drop Huawei smartphones from its offerings while Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM - Free Report) was barred from selling its chipsets to either Huawei or ZTE. On Mar 12, Trump ordered to immediately prohibit the proposed $117 billion takeover bid of Singapore-based Broadcom Ltd. (AVGO - Free Report) for Qualcomm.
The government argued that third party entities, especially, Huawei and ZTE may get access to Qualcomm’s precious patents from Broadcom or at least a stalled R&D activity may result in Qualcomm losing its competitive edge in the upcoming 5G wireless network standard to its Chinese counterparts.
Our Top Picks
President Trump has given enough indication that his administration will take special interest in the functioning of the telecom industry. The safeguarding of the highly valuable patents of the American tech heavy companies from the Chinese dragon is of foremost importance to the American eagle.
At this stage, investors will be better off to investing in U.S. wireless equipment manufacturing companies, which are expected to benefit the most from upcoming U.S. tariffs on China.
