10 Stocks Bear the Brunt of Trade Threats

7. Smurfit Westrock Plc (NYSE:SW)

Smurfit Westrock declined for a second straight day on Tuesday, losing 6.81 percent to finish at $46.69 apiece as investors sold off positions amid the impact of the ongoing trade war on its business.

SW, a global paper-based packaging company that is present in 40 locations, including China, Canada, and Mexico, stands to be significantly hurt by higher prices of raw materials further aggravated by US tariffs.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, SW saw net income jump by 192 percent to $146 million from $50 million in the same period a year earlier, as net sales grew 163 percent to $7.539 billion from $2.862 billion.

For the full year of 2024 alone, however, net income fell by 61.3 percent to $319 million from $826 million in 2023, while net sales dived by 74.5 percent to $21.1 billion from $12.09 billion year-on-year.
