Trump's 100 Executive Orders: What to Expect on Day One

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office on January 20, 2025, investors and businesses are bracing for a flurry of executive orders that could have significant impacts on various sectors. Trump has promised to sign more than 100 executive orders and related actions on his first day, aiming to make good on his campaign promises and quickly establish his policy objectives. Here's what to expect and how these orders could impact specific companies and industries.

Immigration and Border Security

Trump has vowed to launch the largest deportation in U.S. history and close the border on his first day in office. These moves could have significant impacts on industries that rely on immigrant labor, such as agriculture, hospitality, and construction. Companies in these sectors may face labor shortages and increased costs. Additionally, companies like Geo Group (GEO) and CoreCivic (CXW), which operate detention centers, have seen their shares soar since Election Day, likely due to expectations for increased demand for their services under Trump's immigration policies.
