Despite the fact that the 2020 presidential election is more than a year away, investors are looking at the potential impact of a progressive political agenda on the stock market.

J.P. Morgan, in a new report, compiled a list of firms that would be most affected by progressive policy initiatives, in areas like anti-trust, financial regulation, climate change, health-care reform and minimum wage.

The company expects these select stocks to under-perform relative to the market if a progressive Democratic candidate is elected.

2020 candidates Joe Biden, the former vice president, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., are leading in national polls. There are 19 Democratic presidential candidates still in the race. Betting markets provide Trump with a slight advantage, though the top Democratic contenders are ahead of him in most national polling. 

Here are some of the stocks J.P. Morgan expects would under-perform:

Energy:

Chevron

Exxon Mobil

Industrial:

Lockheed Martin

Northrop Grumman

Consumer discretion:

Gap

Papa John’s

Consumer staples:

Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc.
