10:56 AM EDT, 07/16/2025 (MT Newswires) -- RBC Bearings ( RBC ) holds a competitive advantage because of a strong presence in the US amid global tariff turmoil, Deutsche Bank said Wednesday in a note, initiating coverage of the stock with a buy rating.

High China tariffs in particular would bolster earnings for RBC, which manufactures and markets precision-engineered bearings, components and systems for aerospace, defense and industrial sectors, the note said.

RBC is "well placed" to benefit from the electric vertical take-off and landing segment should that market expand, the note said.

Deutsche Bank has a $480 target price on RBC stock.

RBC shares rose 3% in recent Wednesday trading.
