The Made in America Jobs Act of 2026 (HR7342) expands EDA grant eligibility to explicitly fund reshoring and domestic manufacturing projects. The bill has advanced through committee markup (reported amended March 20) but requires floor votes and appropriation. Caterpillar is the primary beneficiary with 24.51% 30-day gains reflecting already-priced momentum; Deere, GE Vernova, and 3M have more upside remaining. No funding amount is authorized in the bill itself.
Key takeaways, market implications, full AI analysis, and connected signals are available to HillSignal members.

Caterpillar (CAT) at $882.09 is the most directly positioned stock for reshoring legislation, already pricing in significant expectation. Deere (DE) at $586.33 has more moderate pricing of the theme. 3M (MMM) at $145.98 shows almost no reshoring premium — if the bill advances through the House floor, MMM could see mean-reversion toward its $155-160 range. GE Vernova (GEV) is not in the provided market data but is the correct ticker for power infrastructure beneficiaries (not GE Aerospace at $288.79). Investors should monitor the House floor schedule and the FY2027 appropriations process for Commerce-Justice-Science funding levels.
Active government convergence in this signal’s sector right now.
Over the last 90 days, 345 separate government actions have converged on Semiconductors / Onshoring. What that means: federal dollars are already moving — agencies are soliciting bids and awarding contracts, not just talking, and legislation and executive action are building the policy and funding tailwind behind it. When independent channels move together like this — 304 procurement notices, 26 patents, 6 bills, 4 executive actions, 2 SEC filings, 1 insider buys, 1 congressional trades and 1 federal contracts — it's the clearest early tell that Washington is committing to semiconductors / onshoring, the kind of build-up that reshapes the sector well before it's obvious in the headlines.
Converging government actions
The Made in America Jobs Act of 2026 (HR7342) amends the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 to add two new grant eligibility criteria: projects that facilitate the relocation of employment to the United States, and projects that facilitate the growth of the manufacturing sector. Introduced February 4, 2026 by Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-CO) with one cosponsor, the bill was reported amended by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on March 20, 2026 with a committee report (H. Rept. 119-567, Part I). It was also referred to the Financial Services Committee. The bill remains in early legislative stages requiring House floor passage, Senate consideration, and presidential signature.
The money trail is critical: this bill authorizes grant eligibility changes — it does not authorize or appropriate any specific funding amount. The EDA's public works program receives annual appropriations through the Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations bill. The key market impact is that existing and future EDA grant funding will now be explicitly available for reshoring and manufacturing projects, creating a structural demand tailwind for construction equipment and industrial infrastructure. The bill changes the USE of existing funding, not the total amount available.
Structural winners: Caterpillar (CAT) is the clearest beneficiary as its Construction Industries and Resource Industries segments supply equipment essential for site preparation, foundation work, and industrial building construction at new factory locations. Deere (DE) benefits through its Construction & Forestry segment. GE Vernova (GEV) supplies electrical generation and grid equipment needed to power new industrial facilities. 3M (MMM) benefits from increased consumable demand across a broader manufacturing base.
Real market data shows CAT has already rallied 24.51% in 30 days to $882.09, near its 52-week high of $889.64, indicating the market has partially priced reshoring and manufacturing tailwinds. DE gained 4.09% over 30 days to $586.33. MMM is flat (+0.52%) at $145.98 near the bottom of its 52-week range, suggesting significant upside if reshoring legislation advances. GE Aerospace ($GE at $288.79) is not a primary beneficiary; it is correctly positioned in aviation.
The legislative timeline: HR7342 must pass the House, then the Senate, then be signed into law. The committee markup and reported amendment indicate active momentum. The bill's early stage and lack of Senate companion bill suggest a 2026 passage is possible but not guaranteed in an election year. Appropriations for FY2027 would determine actual grant funding levels.
Cross-referenced against federal contracts, SEC insider filings & congressional trade disclosures

What the bill does
Grant eligibility expansion under the Public Works and Economic Development Act to include projects that facilitate reshoring of employment and growth of the manufacturing sector.
Who must act
EDA grant applicants seeking funds for public works projects supporting factory construction, site development, and industrial infrastructure.
What happens
Increased federal grant funding availability for domestic manufacturing facility construction and expansion projects, reducing capital costs for eligible applicants.
Stock impact
Caterpillar's Construction Industries segment (earthmoving, building construction equipment) and Resource Industries segment (mining, heavy machinery) are primary suppliers for large-scale factory construction and site preparation. Increased EDA grants for reshoring projects directly drive demand for CAT equipment at job sites. CAT's 30-day price change of +24.51% and current price near 52-week high reflects market anticipation of sustained industrial demand.
What the bill does
Grant eligibility expansion under the Public Works and Economic Development Act to include projects facilitating reshoring and manufacturing sector growth.
Who must act
EDA grant applicants and industrial developers undertaking site preparation and infrastructure for new manufacturing facilities.
What happens
Increased construction and site development activity for domestic manufacturing projects, raising demand for earthmoving, grading, and material handling equipment.
Stock impact
Deere's Construction & Forestry segment supplies backhoes, excavators, loaders, and dozers essential for land clearing and foundation work at new factory sites. Deere also benefits from increased agricultural and industrial equipment manufacturing that reshoring projects would support. Current price of $586.33 with 4.21% 7-day gain and 4.09% 30-day gain reflects steady industrial demand momentum.
