3 Industrial Stocks Riding North American Onshoring Demand

Tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries buying Russian energy are forcing global supply chains to be redrawn, and capital tends to follow that kind of disruption. Companies exposed to this shock through onshoring and supply‑chain diversification are already in the spotlight, and missing the early move can be costly. This article walks through three stocks linked to this policy shift and explains how each could be positioned as production migrates closer to North American soil.

The three stocks covered below are only a sample, and the wider screen surfaced 29 more North America listed companies tied to onshoring and supply chain themes that are not discussed here but have equally detailed narratives behind them.

If you want to identify, compare and analyze the broader opportunity set around this trend, head straight to the North American Onshoring & Supply-Chain Diversification Beneficiaries screener.

ATS (TSX:ATS)

Overview: ATS Corporation builds and services complex automated factories that help manufacturers reshore production, reduce labor risk, and stabilize supply chains across regulated industries.

Operations: ATS generates about CA$2.93b from automation systems, with sizeable exposure to the United States at CA$1.26b and broader European and Canadian customers.

Market Cap: CA$2.62b

ATS is relevant to the onshoring theme because it supplies the custom automated lines that allow manufacturers to move high value production closer to U.S. and Canadian customers without depending on low cost offshore labor.

"Robust demand from labor shortages and onshoring by customers is expected to increase automation spending, especially in North America where companies are addressing workforce gaps and supply chain risk. This will drive sustained top-line growth and long-term revenue visibility reflected in ATS's expanding order backlog."

What happens to ATS margins will hinge on one unresolved pressure that could significantly affect automation demand and pricing power in either direction.

That margin wildcard is exactly what the full narrative for ATS unpacks, including how ATS could still convert automation demand into the potential for accelerating cash generation.

Symbotic (SYM)

Overview: Symbotic runs automated warehouse systems that help North American retailers and manufacturers handle high volumes efficiently as supply chains move closer to home.

Operations: Symbotic generates about US$2.65b from industrial automation and controls, with roughly US$2.48b of that tied to U.S. customers.

Market Cap: US$26.29b

Symbotic matters for this onshoring theme because reworked trade routes still need fast, accurate distribution hubs, and its systems sit right in that flow of goods across reshaped North American supply chains.

"The company's persistent customer concentration with heavy reliance on Walmart and a few major partners creates the risk of significant revenue volatility in future quarters if a large contract is lost, renegotiated, or delayed, which could sharply reduce both top-line growth and reported earnings."

What happens to Symbotic's long term growth story will largely depend on how one pressure point in that partner mix evolves from here.

That partner tension is exactly what the full narrative for Symbotic unpacks, revealing how Symbotic could still turn contract concentration into accelerating scale and fresh routes for upside.

Hammond Power Solutions (TSX:HPS.A)

Overview: Hammond Power Solutions designs and manufactures transformers that feed power-hungry factories, data centres, and infrastructure projects across North America.

Operations: Hammond Power Solutions generates about CA$1.06b from transformer manufacturing and sales, with roughly CA$806 million from the U.S. and Mexico and CA$222 million from Canada.

Market Cap: CA$3.32b

Hammond Power Solutions matters for this onshoring theme because its transformers are the electrical hardware that lets new North American plants and logistics hubs actually switch on.

"The ramp-up of new manufacturing facilities in Mexico, with expectations to be fully loaded and operational by early next year, will significantly increase production capacity, positioning Hammond to capture greater share of increasing North American demand and support long-term revenue growth while enabling improved operating leverage and margin expansion."

What happens to Hammond Power Solutions margins from here will largely hinge on how one quiet cost and pricing balance plays out.

That quiet balance is exactly what the full narrative for Hammond Power Solutions breaks apart, showing how Hammond Power Solutions could turn new capacity into accelerating cash, even if pricing power shifts.
