Tariffs & supply chain
Proposed tariffs on specific countries and materials will have implications for businesses throughout the supply chain: increased material costs (driving up overall costs), shortages, shifts in demand. They might also impact valuations, as higher costs would increase pressure on profitability. Companies can boost their resilience against these impacts by understanding, optimizing, and diversifying their supply chain, and maintaining close communication with suppliers and stakeholders.

Federal awards & contracts
Amid evolving news of cuts or pauses to federal funding and programs, it remains prudent for government contractors and grant recipients to consider their funding sources and prepare to weather any changes.

Investors & dealmaking
The private equity and M&A dealmaking market has been experiencing some headwinds amid increased levels of uncertainty and a possibly higher cost of doing business across international borders. As tariffs continue to evolve, PE firms must evaluate their impact on both their current portfolio companies and potential acquisitions. It will be critical to control expenses and create value, such as by optimizing supply chains and cost structures.
We may still see tailwinds favoring dealmaking, such as a reduced emphasis on regulation – likely leading to lower regulatory compliance costs – and/or more favorable tax policies for PE firms and their portfolio companies. But until more certainty returns to the markets, dealmakers should move with thoughtful caution.
