- China's "stalling" economy is putting some US companies at risk, according to Bank of America.
- High rates of youth unemployment and recent property defaults have put pressure on the Chinese economy.
- The bank highlighted the top 10 stocks that have the most revenue exposure to China.
China's economy has been floundering since it reopened from the COVID-19 pandemic, and that represents a big risk for US companies that have a lot of exposure to the region.
Elevated rates of youth unemployment and recent property developer defaults are just a couple reasons why China's economy has been "stalling" in recent months, according to Bank of America.
The bank doesn't think China represents a big risk for the US stock market, given that the S&P 500's direct China revenue exposure is less than 5%. But it did highlight companies that are overly exposed to the region.
"Investors are waiting for a policy response from China," BofA's Savita Subramanian said in a Thursday note. But so far, China's stimulus efforts have had little impact in turning around the economy.
These are the 10 companies that are most at risk of China's ongoing economic slowdown, according to Bank of America.
