Well, it will with the 1st shipments if it is all passed on to consumers. I assume some companies will try to eat a bit of it at first to soften the blow.

No, they just claimed it was transient which was totally wrong.

Like all things govt. figures are what you take from them or which you use.

Take inflation , the figure strips out some pretty core items.

U3 versus U6 on unemployment figures. The difference in percentage is stark.

It was always two consecutive quarters of negative growth. We had that during the Biden presidency and the administration refused to call it a recession.

Pricing strategy is not just determined by COGS.

If a business can maintain or even improve volume AND increase prices to improve margins, then that increases their profits. So if the competition raises prices due to tariffs, a business (that is less impacted by tariffs) should raise their prices to the point to maximize profitability.

Now some may attempt to grow volume but often that comes with an asset investment. Of course that takes time especially with new manufacturing and the business must also generate a return on the new assets. New asset investment also carry the risk that higher tariffs and corresponding prices may not be permanent. Most projects will incorporate a sensitivity analysis that looks at investment returns based on various pricing scenarios.
