Tariff expansion raises input costs and domestic production costs for many S&P 500 companies with global supply chains; earnings revisions and margin pressure are plausible in the near term, especially for exporters and tech/auto suppliers. Historical tariffs (e.g., 2018–19 steel/aluminum tariffs) showed market volatility and mixed sector impacts.
