Brief
Track which specific companies and sectors actually benefit from reshoring and "friend-shoring" US manufacturing — the investable synthesis that consulting "pros and cons" pieces never produce. Beyond the slogan, where do the capex and the margin actually land? Core entities: factory build-out beneficiaries (industrial REITs; electrical/automation — Eaton, Rockwell, Emerson; construction and engineering); the on-shored capacity itself (semis — TSMC Arizona, Intel, GlobalFoundries; EV/battery plants; pharma/API); the equipment and input suppliers; and the policy money (CHIPS Act, IRA) flowing to named projects. I want to track announced projects and which public companies are actually contracted, capex and order trends in earnings, factory-construction and manufacturing data (Census construction spending, ISM, FRED industrial series), and management commentary about reshoring demand versus hype. Pull prices, filings, and earnings-call quotes for the named names. Flag where reshoring is converting into real revenue versus where it's still a press release, and any divergence between policy dollars announced and projects actually breaking ground. The thesis: reshoring is real but the winners are specific and unobvious — name them and follow the money.
