Recasts top, adds brokerage comments on crypto and blockchain-related firms

July 17 (Reuters) - Investors are closely watching stocks that could be impacted by the outcome of the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential elections , especially those more exposed to government policy actions such as banking and clean energy.

While U.S. President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump are locked in a close election rematch, a two-day Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that Trump had opened a marginal lead in the race to the White House after surviving an assassination attempt.

Here is a list of stocks and sectors that are likely to be impacted if either Trump or Biden serve a second presidential term:

FINANCIALS

UBS analysts are accounting forthe prospect of less stringent capital and liquidity rules, and easing financial regulation under Trump's second termas U.S. president, potentially benefiting the banking industry.

Banks, including JPMorgan& Chase JPM.N, Bank of America BAC.N, Wells Fargo WFC.N, Discover Financial DFS.N, KeyCorp KEY.N and Synchrony Financial SYF.N, are seen as some of the likely winners by the brokerage.

CRYPTO AND BLOCKCHAIN-RELATED COMPANIES

Crypto stocks are expected to benefit from Trump's re-entry into the White House as he is widely seen as being crypto friendly .

Stocks, including Coinbase COIN.O, Marathon Digital MARA.O and Riot Platforms RIOT.O, have surged tracking gains in bitcoin after a failed assassination attempt on the former president raised his odds of winning the elections in November.

SOLAR STOCKS

J.P.Morgan analysts see risks to spending on green energy under a new Trump administration, which is expected to focus more on maximizing fossil fuel output instead of fighting climate change.

UBS expects incentives for solar manufacturers such as First Solar FSLR.O, NextEra Energy NEE.N and Sunrun RUN.O to stay if Biden is re-elected.

CLEAN ENERGY AND OIL COMPANIES

Continued support for electrification and clean fuel productionunder a Biden administration could boost stocks such as Eaton ETN.N, Quanta Services PWR.N, Tesla TSLA.O and Air Products and Chemicals APD.N, according to UBS.

Existing incentives from the present government willcontinue to drive advantagesfor energy-efficient product manufacturers such as Johnson Controls JCI.N and Trane Technologies TT.N, as well as waste management companies with recycling infrastructure such as Waste Management WM.N and Republic Services RSG.N.

However, increased oil and natural gas investment, more drilling activity and higher natural gas exports could benefit producers such as Exxon Mobil XOM.N, Cheniere Energy LNG.N and ConocoPhillips COP.N under Trump 2.0.

DOMESTIC MANUFACTURERS

A new Trumpadministration is expected to be much more protectionist in terms of import tariffs. "The consumer discretionary sector is exposed in that environment," UBS analysts say.

As president, Trump started a tariff war with China and imposed tariffsof 60% or higher on all Chinese goods and a 10% or higher universal tariff on all imports, a move he says will eliminate the trade deficit.

U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports could help domestic manufacturers, namely legacy carmakers Ford F.N and General Motors GM.N and steel producers such as Nucor NUE.N and Steel Dynamics STLD.O, UBS analysts say.

TRUMP-RELATED STOCKS

Investors expect stocks linked toDonald Trump to move in tandem with the chances of his winning the presidency. These include Trump Media & Technology DJT.O, in which the former president owns a majority stake, software firm Phunware PHUN.O and video-sharing platform Rumble RUM.O.

PRISON OPERATORS

U.S. prison operators such as GeoGroup GEO.N and CoreCivic CXW.N may benefit from Trump's re-election, on promises of a crackdown on illegal immigration and restrictions on legal immigration, which could boost demand for detention centers.

PHARMACEUTICALS AND INSURERS

UBS sees a lower risk of drug price cuts and an inclination towards Medicare Advantage in a Republican-dominated government, potentially helpingdrugmakers Eli Lilly LLY.N and Merck MRK.N, as well as health insurers such as Humana HUM.N and UnitedHealth UNH.N.

M&A-RELATED BENEFICIARIES

Trump may takea more lenient approach to antitrust regulation enforcement, according to J.P.Morgan analysts.

UBS expects banks such as Goldman Sachs GS.N, Morgan Stanley MS.N, Lazard LAZ.N and Evercore EVR.N, which benefit from M&A activities, to gain from such a policy change.

SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING

Given the fiercecompetition with China on semiconductors, UBS expects a second Trump government to drive support for domestic semiconductor manufacturing companies such as Applied Materials AMAT.O, KLA Corp KLAC.O, Intel INTC.O and Texas Instruments TXN.O.

AGRICULTURE

With the likelihood of more tariffson Chinese imports under Trump, farmers are expected to receive more federal assistance forlost exports amid a potential tradewar. These initiatives could help agricultural equipment makers andsuppliers such as Deere and Co DE.N and Tractor Supply Company TSCO.O, UBS analysts say.
