Most of them are from the technology and technology-adjacent sectors, which are generating phenomenal growth thanks to emerging industries like artificial intelligence (AI). Oracle (ORCL 2.60%) came within a whisker of joining the exclusive $1 trillion club last year when its market cap briefly topped $940 billion, but its valuation has since tumbled to around $480 billion following a 49% collapse in its stock price.

Perhaps complicating the math further, those new tariffs could increase before refunds are issued. Just yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Section 122 tariffs could be raised by another 15 percent this week, The New York Times reported.
