Construction-Related Stocks Are Down Today: What's Going On?
Feb 3, 2025 2:00 PM

TopBuild Corp ( BLD ) shares and other construction-related companies are falling as investors react to U.S. tariff concerns that could drive up costs across the industry.

What To Know: The new tariffs, imposed by President Donald Trump, include a 25% duty on imports from Mexico (currently paused for a month), a 10% duty on Chinese goods and 25% for most Canadian goods, excluding crude oil, which faces a separate 10% tariff.

The construction sector may be vulnerable, as tariffs on imported materials could increase costs by an estimated $3 billion to $4 billion, according to the National Association of Home Builders. These additional expenses could impact both homebuilders and suppliers, potentially slowing down projects and increasing prices for consumers.

More broadly, the tariffs target key U.S. trade partners, affecting a wide range of imports, including food, electronics, clothing and automobiles. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has warned that these tariffs could disrupt supply chains, raise prices for American families and hurt businesses dependent on international trade.

BLD Price Action: TopBuild ( BLD ) shares were down 3.96% at $328.79 at market close Monday, according to Benzinga Pro.
