U.S. Tariffs Could Force Moves by Australian Med-Techs -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-07

0353 GMT - Australia-listed drug and device makers may have to consider moving production due to potential tariffs by the incoming Trump administration, UBS analysts write in a note. They say that the likes of vaccine giant CSL, hearing-implant maker Cochlear, breath-tech provider ResMed and radiopharmaceutical developer Telix may have to consider the origin of various inputs and the location of production. Tariffs could motivate relocation of facilities to the U.S. but result in lower profitability for companies, they say. Protective-garment maker Ansell could benefit from tariffs on Chinese gloves, they add. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
