S&P reports tariffs will cost companies $1.2 trillion this year

President Donald Trump’s tariffs will cost global businesses upward of $1.2 trillion in 2025, with most of the cost being passed onto consumers, according to a new analysis from S&P Global.
In a white paper released Thursday, the firm said its estimate of additional expenses for companies is probably conservative. The price tag comes from information provided by some 15,000 sell-side analysts across 9,000 companies who contribute to S&P and its proprietary research indexes.
“The sources of this trillion-dollar squeeze are broad. Tariffs and trade barriers act as taxes on supply chains and divert cash to governments; logistics delays and freight costs compound the effect,” author Daniel Sandberg said in the report. “Collectively, these forces represent a systemic transfer of wealth from corporate profits to workers, suppliers, governments, and infrastructure investors.”

Lack of vision by many.
They are more worried about short term rather than long term gain.

Trump did say it was going to hurt at first.

Considering the demographics of this board there is no “long term”
Long term either the horse gets sent to glue factory or we are Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino
Might as well throw off the 401chains and get a new boat because President aoc is gonna take it anyway

More and more companies have stopped eating the tariffs and are passing it along to customers and this number will only continue to grow. You’re naive if you think otherwise.

Receipts for things I've paid for say otherwise

The boomers around here don’t notice inflation because the assisted living handles the bills

1.2 trillion reasons to bring that manufacturing stateside.

Easier said than done. You got to give tax incentives to companies to come one back, then there’s infrastructure, cost of labor, training for skilled labor, motivation of labor, supply chain complexities.
It comes down to 2 things. Do America want to put in the work and get dirty or do we want other countries to do it for us?

This seems like a good thing quite honestly. Simply put, we have a debt problem, caused by that spending problem. What are these tariffs doing to help ease that
1. They are being paid by companies out of their revenue. To what extent they are being paid vs. passed on to consumer each company will need to decide.
2. The tariffs being passed on the consumer becomes a consumption tax, which is simply a better taxation model for the American population. When you look at see how 50% of our taxpayers, pay 97% of the taxes, that leaves a lot of potential revenue that can be collected. That bottom 50% is not poverty, they are walking around with iphones and buying cheap stuff from China. It puts them back in the game, which is the way it should be.
You can hate tariffs, but so far it is a winning play.

That only works if you actually pay down the debt. Current administration has no plans to do that

What is the long term gain?

I don’t agree with tariffs. Love Trump but he is way off on this. The companies that have left the US and moved mfg overseas are NOT coming back anytime soon. So yes you are making a fortune on tariffs through trade but bankrupting the middle class in the process.
We couldn’t afford goods to go up again- covid took care of that and did a great job - so now we are paying more on top of more.
My guess is that at some point the inflation numbers will cause a 2,000 point down day and the overinflated superficial stock market will correct.

This has been a occurring thing for some time. I am 50 and feel like I have been hearing this for decades. I am sure it will eventually happen, but today is not that day.

The tariffs are the only action being taken by anyone to help keep the country solvent, it’s beyond me how THIS is what people take Trump to task for.
