Tired Of Tariffs? Invest In American Or European Broadcasting American and European broadcasters hardly experience any direct impact from trade tariffs through the nature of their business. European broadcasters are in the region where stock performance has been better than in the U.S. in 2025. These trade at low valuations and pay attractive dividends.
