Biotech (Positive): Trump is viewed as less onerous than Clinton on drug pricing.

Big Pharma (Positive): BMO Capital sees a Trump victory positive for the following reasons: 1) lower drug pricing pressure in the U.S., 2) potential repeal of Obamacare with more industry friendly reforms, 3) increased probability for lower corporate tax rates, and profit repatriation, which should in turn lead to increased capital returned to shareholders and more M&A.

Specialty Pharma (Positive): Trump win, House and Senate stay Republican and Proposition 61 in California defeat all seen as positive:

Coal Stocks (Positive): Trump has promised to bring back U.S. coal industry

Steel Stocks (Positive): Jefferies analyst Seth Rosenfeld commented, "The US steel industry should stand out as a unique beneficiary of a Trump presidency. Protectionism will significantly rise; the US is already short steel, and falling imports will improve domestic pricing power. In addition, increased infrastructure spend may significantly boost demand for long steel products. Steel price momentum has recently emerged and should extend further into 2017."
