Tariffs & supply chain
New and evolving 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.
