Raven Industries, Inc.

This powerful committee controls taxation and trade policy. Changes in corporate tax rates, tax credits, or tariffs on raw materials (petroleum-based resins) or finished goods would directly impact Raven Industries' profitability and corporate valuation.

This committee allocates discretionary federal spending. Its subcommittees directly determine funding for defense programs, scientific research (relevant to Aerostar), and infrastructure projects (relevant to Engineered Films), directly affecting potential government contract revenues.

Raven Industries had a significant precision agriculture technology division and also produces agricultural films. The Farm Bill and agricultural policy, which this committee oversees, directly impact demand for these products and technologies from farmers.

Raven Industries historically included an Aerostar division that served as a defense contractor. This committee directly authorizes the annual NDAA and determines defense spending, directly impacting revenue streams and R&D funding for such segments.

Raven's Engineered Films division produces geomembranes used in environmental containment, construction, and infrastructure. This committee regulates the EPA and federal highway programs, directly impacting demand and specifications for such materials and potentially influencing raw material costs.
