3 Stocks Riding The China Plus One Shift In Manufacturing

Trade rules are being questioned, tariffs are still on the table, and supply chains that leaned heavily on China now face fresh political scrutiny. That mix is pushing some manufacturers to quietly rewire where they make things, and investors who ignore that shift risk missing where future cash flows may concentrate. This article examines three China+1 exposed stocks from our screener that are positioned within this evolving production map.

The three stocks below are only a small sample, and the full screen surfaced 25 more manufacturers and contractors with equally detailed China+1 narratives that do not fit into this article. To identify your own highest conviction ideas, head straight into the China+1 Manufacturing and Nearshoring Beneficiaries screener.

Surya Roshni (NSEI:SURYAROSNI)

Overview: Surya Roshni is an Indian manufacturer of steel pipes, lighting products, and home appliances that supplies both domestic and export markets.

Operations: The business generates about ₹61.1b from Steel Pipe and Strips and ₹18.7b from Lighting and Consumer Durables.

Market Cap: ₹48.0b

Surya Roshni fits the China+1 theme because its pipe and consumer durable capacity in India gives global buyers a non China based sourcing option.

"Rising export volumes (up 23% year on year) driven by increased demand from the Middle East and a focus on tapping international markets may help the company diversify its revenue base and reduce reliance on domestic demand."

What happens to margins if one unseen cost pressure moves against the China+1 shift is the question investors need to weigh.

That margin question is where the story gets interesting, and the full narrative for Surya Roshni unpacks how Surya Roshni’s export push and cost base could reshape risk and upside.

Flowserve (FLS)

Overview: Flowserve supplies industrial pumps, valves, seals, and related services that keep factories, pipelines, and power plants running across global regions.

Operations: Flowserve generates about US$3.2b from its Pump Division and roughly US$1.5b from its Flow Control Division, with minor eliminations.

Market Cap: US$9.3b

Flowserve matters for the China+1 and nearshoring theme because its equipment sits inside many of the plants shifting production closer to end markets. Any change in these build out plans eventually flows through to its order book.

"Although Flowserve reports strong power and nuclear bookings, the 18% decline in original equipment revenue in Q1 2026 and slower nuclear backlog conversion point to a risk that large reactor and life extension awards convert into revenue more slowly than expected. This could hold back top-line growth and delay earnings from a higher nuclear mix."

What investors really need to watch is how one unresolved execution swing factor filters through to both margins and cash conversion over time.

That execution swing factor is exactly what the full narrative for Flowserve unpacks, showing where stalled conversions might be masking accelerating opportunities in Flowserve’s longer term order pipeline.

Cummins India (BSE:500480)

Overview: Cummins India designs and builds engines, generator sets, and power systems in India that support customers diversifying production away from China.

Operations: The business earns about ₹124.7b from Engines and ₹33.7b from Lubes, with internal eliminations reducing the reported total.

Market Cap: ₹1.35t

Cummins India matters for the China+1 Manufacturing and Nearshoring Beneficiaries theme because its Indian plants supply power solutions to factories, data centers, and infrastructure projects that global manufacturers rely on when they shift capacity into India.

"Strong export growth, notably with diversification into Europe and Latin America and opportunities for new product acceptance in markets like the US and UK, increases the resilience of the revenue base and offers significant upside for revenue growth if global macro or trade conditions become more favorable. Continued investment in cost optimization, automation, and capacity expansion, along with disciplined capital allocation, provides room for improved operational leverage, helping sustain or enhance net margins as volumes scale and new market segments (such as railways and marine) ramp up."

What happens to that earnings profile if one unseen pressure changes how much China+1 customers are willing to pay for Indian-built reliability?

That pricing power question is exactly what the full narrative for Cummins India tackles, mapping how Cummins India could turn China+1 demand into accelerating earnings quality and optionality.
