Key Takeaways
- 1.HR7509 is an early-stage bill referred to committee with no further actions since February 2026.
- 2.The bill does not allocate funds; it denies tax incentives, so there is no direct spending impact.
- 3.Market-implied impact today is negligible — stocks are up sharply on non-legislative factors.
Market Implications
Current market data shows GOOGL at $349.94, up 27.95% in 30 days; MSFT at $424.46, up 18.25%; AAPL at $270.17, up 9.54% — all far above their 52-week lows. These moves are driven by earnings and AI optimism, not by any anticipated passage of HR7509. The bill remains in committee purgatory with no scheduled markup or floor vote. Investors should not overweight this legislation in their near-term thesis for tech names until it shows signs of movement.
Full Analysis
On February 11, 2026, Representative Moran introduced the 'Deterring Adversarial Access to Americans’ Data Act' (HR7509). The bill modifies the Internal Revenue Code to classify entities using 'foreign adversary-controlled technology' as foreign-influenced, thereby denying them bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) and certain tax credits. The bill is in early stage — referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means with no hearings yet. It does not authorize or appropriate any spending; it is a pure tax penalty mechanism. For major US technology firms like Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon, the practical impact depends on how broadly 'foreign adversary-controlled technology' is defined and enforced. Given the infancy of the legislation, no material near-term market action is expected. Real market data shows all three stocks have been on strong upward trends over the past 30 days (GOOGL +27.95%, MSFT +18.25%), driven by broader market factors unrelated to this bill. Structural winners from this bill would be US-based data center equipment and cloud providers (e.g., $NVDA, ) if they are not using adversary tech, but again, only if the bill advances significantly.

Adjusting Imports of Polysilicon and its Derivatives into the United States
This proclamation invokes Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act to impose a minimum import price (MIP) program on polysilicon and its derivatives, a 15% ad valorem tariff on polysilicon derivatives, and directs the Secretary of Commerce to offer incentives for domestic production. It aims to protect and revive the U.S. polysilicon industry by restricting imports that threaten national security, particularly for semiconductor and solar supply chains.
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 101 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Recoverable Critical Minerals and Materials
This memorandum invokes the Defense Production Act (DPA) Section 101 to declare that recoverable critical minerals and materials (such as black mass, end-of-life rare-earth magnets, and scrap) are essential to national defense and that the U.S. cannot meet defense needs without disrupting civilian markets. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to issue regulations and take actions—including priority contracts and supply-chain interventions—to rapidly expand domestic recovery and processing of these materials, while explicitly excluding copper scrap already covered by a separate proclamation.
Securing America’s Defense Supply Chains and Ensuring Domestic Acquisition of Critical Materials
This executive order restricts waivers for foreign-sourced critical materials in defense contracts, effective January 1, 2027, and mandates that defense contractors map their supply chains from raw materials to end products, vet subcontractors for risks, and prohibit covered materials from unreliable foreign suppliers. It directs the Secretary of War to enforce strict compliance, including requiring mitigation plans for any non-compliant materials and establishing penalties for fraud or willful noncompliance.
