Tariffs and war risk disclosures in S and P 500 10-K risk factors

April 5, 2026r/wallstreetbets

In r/wallstreetbets, a viral deep read of S and P 500 10-K risk factors is used to infer which sectors are most worried about tariffs and war, sparking debate about whether banks look exposed or just more compliance heavy.

i spent my weekend reading 98 s&p 500 10-Ks for tariff and war risks. the results are.. weird.
banks are way more exposed than oil companies
i spent my entire weekend digging through the "risk factors" section of the 2 most recent 10-Ks for 98 s&p 500 companies.
i looked for 8 specific themes: tariffs, war, geopolitical, oil/energy, sanctions, sup
This may just be banks having way more sophistication with compliance and risk management.
everyone is talking about the iran war and trump’s tariffs, but i wanted to see which companies are actually panicking in their official sec filings.
Did you just control F geopolitical in these 10-Ks? Or what goes into the “score”?
