There’s a debate on Wall Street right now that centers around whether the earnings and supply chain problems from Covid-related lockdowns in China, which began in Shanghai in late March, are priced into stocks. On one hand, a semiconductor analyst at Piper Sandler believes that most stocks in the group are already pricing in a “healthy” cut to earnings based on historical average valuations. Semiconductor companies are some of the names that are most at risk from the lockdowns due to sales and supply chain issues. To the analyst’s credit, a handful of chip stocks like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have started to act much better despite the declines in the market this week. But the counter to the priced-in argument is Dow stock Cisco Systems (CSCO), which is seeing its stock pull back about 14% on Thursday afternoon after the computer networking hardware and software maker issued guidance well below expectations , mainly because it could not get the components it needed out of China to ship its products. Clearly, the full impact of the lockdowns were not priced into Cisco. China exposure among our holdings To help Investing Club members better understand how the events in China impact the companies in our portfolio, we are providing a breakdown of the revenue exposure to China and the potential supply chain ramifications of every name we own. All revenue percentages are based on FactSet data over the last 12 month. We’ve ranked the holdings from most exposed to least. Apple (AAPL) Revenue from China : 17.5% Supply chain impact due to China : The tech giant manufacturers in China. In total, management has quantified a $4 billion to $8 billion headwind in the current quarter due to supply constraints and disruption. We believe it’s prudent to assume that the impact will be closer to the high end of that range. AbbVie (ABBV) Revenue from China : 1.5% Supply chain impact due to China : The drugmaker does not have any exposure. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Revenue from China : 24.3% Supply chain impact due to China : We think there are some risks here but on the first quarter earnings call May 3, CEO Lisa Su said that lockdowns have not had any significant impact on the chip designer’s shipments in its own supply chain.

Procter & Gamble (PG) Revenue from China : 13% (China is the company’s second largest market.)
