The “Trump Bump” is Officially Here… Wall Street Analysts Are Repping These Stocks (Fair of Foul?)

It’s official, with Donald Trump almost back in the Oval Office, the rich are getting richer (again). And topping that list of happy campers is our favorite e-commerce emperor (with the evil laugh), Jeff Bezos. 

Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index reports Bezos’ net worth just hit $228 billion, up $7 billion since July. Amazon shares, for one, are seeing their own record highs, and with a pro-business president in the house, certain stocks might be getting a little Trump Bump too. So let’s dip our toes into three that analysts believe could go big with “The Donald” back at the wheel.

First up, Bezos himself, who has once again finessed his way to a fatter bank account while the rest of us battle it out over a $2 Prime Day deal (it’s every bargain hunter for themselves out there). His fortune? It’s practically chained to Amazon’s stock, which just reached a record high of $209. 

That nice price jump comes after Amazon’s glowing earnings report and the stock market’s post-election euphoria. Amazon’s up more than 40% this year, and with Trump’s love affair with big business, Bezos is probably grinning like a dog in a butcher shop. Relaxed regulations and corporate tax cuts? That’s just Bezos’ kind of vibe—a little deregulation here, a tax break there, and bam, Amazon keeps taking over the world. Owning nearly 9% of the company, Bezos is drinking wine with Lauren Sanches atop a mountain of cash that just keeps getting taller.

Over at Tesla, Trump and Musk are practically skipping hand-in-hand, and it’s showing in the stock. Musk’s latest persona, “Dark MAGA,” comes with a reported $119 million donation to Trump-loving PACs, and you’d better believe he’s getting some ROI on that political play.

Tesla shares went sky-high after Election Day, and there’s speculation that another Trump term could put an end to those annoying federal probes into Tesla’s self-driving experiments (finally, the government might look the other way). And if Trump rolls back EV subsidies, most of the EV industry will throw a tantrum—but Tesla? It’ll dominate the U.S. market while overseas competitors cry in the shower. Wedbush analysts even hint that Musk’s bromance with Trump could hand Tesla a “significant advantage,” giving Elon one more reason to smirk at his competition.

Then there’s Caterpillar, the unofficial mascot of Trump’s “America First” agenda. Those big yellow machines are already up 41% this year, and if Trump’s infrastructure dreams come true, Caterpillar’s CEO might just be fist-pumping his way to the bank. With potential tariffs on imported equipment and tax breaks for American-made products, Caterpillar could enjoy a serious advantage.

Of course, Trump’s magic touch doesn’t just end here. The whole market’s partying like it’s 1985, with the Dow soaring nearly 3.6% post-election (not even counting today). For the Wall Street crowd, Trump’s policies on deregulation, corporate tax cuts, and tariffs are basically Christmas come early. 

So make sure to keep a tab on these stocks over the next several months and see if these Wall Street Analysts get it right (remember, I’m just the messenger this time.)

P.S. While Wall Street analysts are lounging in $1,000 suits in Manhattan, telling us to finally buy Amazon at its all-time highs, we’re over here actually making moves. Last Friday?
