How to position for a US invasion of Greenland?

Original Reddit post

Hypothetical US invasion of Greenland scenario leads author to expect European pharma/tech names to benefit and US exporters Boeing, Caterpillar, and GE to be hit.

BA — WATCH Author argues Boeing would be hit hard if the US invades Greenland because Europe would hike tariffs and sanctions on US aircraft and seek to replace US equipment. The hypothetical catalyst is US annexation of Greenland, with Trump saying talks in two months.

Oil companies, Boeing, Caterpillar, GE and similar stocks will be hit hard.

CAT — WATCH Author argues Caterpillar would be hit hard if the US invades Greenland because Europe would impose sanctions and tariffs on US machinery and replace US equipment. The catalyst is a hypothetical US annexation of Greenland, discussed as possible within two months.

NOVN.SW — WATCH Author argues Novartis would benefit if Europe reacts to a US invasion of Greenland by heavily investing to become independent from US pharmaceuticals. Catalyst is the hypothetical invasion, with Trump hinting talks in two months.

Pharmaceuticals like Pfizer or Eli Lilly will be spared in the short-run but Europe will heavily invest to become independent from the US as well, which could be good for Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, Biontech, Bayer, FMC and the like.

ROG.SW — WATCH Author argues Roche would benefit if Europe reacts to a US invasion of Greenland by heavily investing to become independent from US pharmaceuticals. Catalyst is the hypothetical invasion, with Trump hinting talks in two months.

SAP.DE — WATCH Author argues SAP would benefit if Europe seeks to become less dependent on US software and tech after a US invasion of Greenland, relying on established incumbents. Catalyst is the hypothetical invasion.

In the same vein, Europe will seek to become less dependent on US software / tech and AI. Since European governments will seek fast progress, they will likely rely on successfull incumbents with the necessary talent and infrastructure, like SAP, Atos, Dassault, Siemens, Amadeus and the like.

ATO.PA — WATCH Author argues Atos would benefit if Europe seeks to become less dependent on US software and tech after a US invasion of Greenland, relying on established incumbents. Catalyst is the hypothetical invasion.
