The euphoria surrounding Trump’s November win lit a fire under major indices, but potential tariffs have caused the market to do a 180 in 2025.

Hillenbrand’s stock price was unchanged during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $32 (compared to the current share price of $31.65).
