Make Money With Trump: MIDAS SHARE TIPS Reveals Winners That Could Make Profits Big Again

Donald Trump has promised to make America great again, and pollsters say more than 60 percent of voters believe that means a stronger economy.

Compared to other parts of the world, including Britain, the United States is already doing quite well. The top stocks have almost tripled in value over the last decade and quintupled since 2004, far outperforming the UK and almost all markets beyond that.

But Trump wants to do better, with a turbo agenda designed to boost companies of all shapes and sizes, as long as they operate in the United States and employ local people.

Several London-listed companies should benefit from the president-elect’s pro-business promises.

Delivering prosperity

Financier Bill Ackman has been a lifelong Democratic donor. This year, the New York-based billionaire came out in favor of Trump, believing that Maga’s agenda will help companies do better and increase their value faster than their opponents. His UK-listed Pershing Square Holdings group has already started doing just that.

The stock rose to £35.80 last week and there should be more to come. Pershing Square buys shares of large American companies, including Alphabet, owner of Google, the fast food chain Chipotle, Hilton hotels and the real estate giant Howard Hughes.

Companies like these are expected to gain traction under the Trump administration. Ackman has proven his deal-making prowess time and time again and today appears as confident as ever. However, Pershing Square shares are trading at a discount of around 30 percent to the value of the group’s assets. That should reverse over time, making this all-American stock a buy.

your good health

The American economy may be envied everywhere, but the healthcare system is in urgent need of repair.

US hospitals spend around $1.4 trillion (£1 trillion) a year and 40 per cent of that goes on administrative and related costs. That compares with around 13 per cent for the NHS. Craneware helps American healthcare providers become more efficient, with sophisticated software that allows hospitals and pharmacies to purchase medications more effectively, deal with insurers and intermediaries more competently, and receive payments more quickly.

Headquartered in Edinburgh, Craneware makes the vast majority of its money in the United States and the prospects are bright. The group signed a strategic partnership with tech giant Microsoft this year, with profits expected to rise more than 35 percent over the next three years and more profits to come if Trump follows through on his promises to cut corporate taxes.

Revenues of around $200m (£154m) are expected this financial year, but hopes are high that Craneware could become a billion-dollar business within this decade. At £20.60, Craneware shares should go a long way.

Drill, baby, drill

Trump has pursued a decidedly anti-green agenda, promising to reduce spending on renewable energy and allow oil and gas companies to expand exploration, development and production.

Trump could also lift restrictions on the export of liquefied natural gas, thereby boosting demand for the American fuel around the world.

These moves are music to the ears of Diversified Energy boss Rusty Hutson Junior. Diversified buys mature wells from companies that no longer want them and makes them more efficient.

The company owns more than 65,000 wells, 85 percent of which produce natural gas, and is expanding at a good pace. The heart of the group is centered on states like Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, many of whose voters are ardent Trump supporters.

Recently, Hutson added sites strategically located near gas export centers to its portfolio. The diversified stock has had a rough patch, falling from £28 to just £9.55 in the last two years. Gas prices have been depressed, the group was questioned by Democratic politicians about methane emissions from its wells and dividend payments were reduced this year.

Looking ahead, the outlook seems much brighter. Most forecasters believe gas prices will rise in the long term, regulators are expected to be more supportive of companies like Diversified, and the company has made great technical advances that allow the business to expand production while keeping costs low.

This should boost profitability and ensure dividend payments, with $1.16 (90p) expected by 2025, putting the stock on a yield of close to 10 per cent. Diversified stocks have been disappointing lately, but should continue moving forward, making them an attractive long-term buy.

your favorite word

Trump has called “tariff” his favorite word and promised to impose many of them on imported goods, particularly from China. This could benefit British companies Clarkson and Coats in very different ways.

Clarkson is the world’s largest provider of shipbroking and other services, working with shipowners, shipbuilders and thousands of companies that transport goods around the world. Trade volumes may be affected in the long term if Trump’s rhetoric is translated into action. However, in the short term, companies may be inclined to shore up supplies and fast, before punitive tariffs are introduced. This is likely to boost shipping traffic, increase freight prices and improve Clarkson’s bottom line.

Supporters were already expecting decent gains in sales and profits over the next 12 months. The forecasts could now be revised upwards, giving Clarkson shares a boost. Now £36.50, shares topped £45 a few months ago. Supporters, including Zeus Capital brokers, believe the price should return to its highs. That may happen sooner rather than later.

Coats is at the other end of the scale. Founded as a pioneer in knitting and textiles more than 250 years ago, it is the largest producer of threads, zippers and related materials for clothing, shoes and bags, sewing products from designer sneakers to women’s underwear.

Many companies in this sector depend heavily on China. Coats uses Chinese factories, but also has facilities in Vietnam, Indonesia and India, so it can change supply chains quickly if necessary. That should give the company a clear advantage if Trump starts imposing heavy tariffs on Chinese imports.

Brokers such as Peel Hunt were already optimistic, expecting profits to rise from $205 million last year to $275 million in 2026. Those numbers could rise even further if Coats takes market share from less nimble competitors. At 95p, the shares should offer long-term rewards.

Building and growing

Other potential beneficiaries of the new White House regime include infrastructure specialist Hill & Smith and promotional items group 4imprint. Based in Solihull, West Midlands, Hill & Smith has a thriving US business supplying steel products and road safety kits, from pipes to safety barriers.

Spending is expected to increase under Trump as US infrastructure is in desperate need of improvement, while Hill & Smith should also benefit from a more business-friendly tax regime. That makes the shares attractive, at £21.10. Likewise, 4imprint, responsible for promotional products from mugs to polo shirts and pens.

The company, listed in London but based in Wisconsin, has been a strong performer for years but should gain ground if business confidence increases under Republican rule. At £56.64, the shares are expensive but high quality.
