REUTERS: Worries about the U.S.-China trade war are running high during the current U.S. quarterly reporting season, with companies as diverse as Juniper Networks and O'Reilly Automotive bemoaning the consequences but saying they are finding ways to weather the storm.
Parts supplier O'Reilly Automotive said in its conference call last week that it raised the prices of its products to make up for higher costs related to the tariffs. Third-quarter earnings expectations have now turned negative, however, with earnings expected to decline 0.6per cent from a year ago, based on Refinitiv's data.
"We are being watchful of the potential tariff that may be implemented, and if implemented, would impact the entire toy industry. We have contingency plans in place and we're working closely with the retailers to ensure that we are aligned on our approach to mitigate the tariffs," Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz said on a conference call last week.
