Global businesses would take a hit of $1.2 trillion in 2025 from President Donald Trump's trade tariffs, according to new research by S&amp;P Global.The analysis, drawing on data from 15,000 sell-side analysts covering 9,000 companies contributing to S&amp;P's research and indexes, offers one of the first definitive assessments of the U.S. trade policy's impact — a policy that has unsettled global businesses and markets since April.S&amp;P Global stated that companies will bear one-third of the cost, while the remainder will fall on consumers, according to a CNBC&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/tariff-costs-to-companies-this-year-to-hit-1point2-trillion-with-consumers-taking-most-of-the-hit-sp-says.html">report</a> that covers the key points of the S&amp;P analysis. Companies covered by S&amp;P are facing $907 billion in additional costs, with the remaining amount allocated to uncovered companies and private equity and venture capital investors."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."In the last six months, companies such as retail chain Walmart, toy maker Mattel, sportswear brand Adidas, consumer goods company Procter &amp; Gamble, and car makers such as Ford and Toyota have increased the prices of their products.Businesses are dealing with the complicated decision-- whether to hike prices, which could deter demand, or absorb the higher prices from tariffs, which would depress profits. Adding to the uncertainty is the ever-evolving nature of the situation, with the U.S. still negotiating the final trade agreement with Europe and China.Currently, U.S. companies selling discretionary items are seemingly performing better than those selling staple goods.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1328/596;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_17_at_9_56_27_AM_png_a082c38258.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-17 at 9.56.27 AM.png" width="1328" height="596"><figcaption>XLY price and sentiment over the last six months | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1320/598;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_17_at_10_00_30_AM_png_d4760c4e4c.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-17 at 10.00.30 AM.png" width="1320" height="598"><figcaption>XLP price and sentiment over the last six months | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLY">Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY)</a> rose 24.2% in the last six months, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLP">the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) has declined 3.3%.</a>On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was 'neutral' for XLP and 'bullish' for XLY.With more costs being passed on to consumers, S&amp;P expects that corporate profits&nbsp;will recover next year. The consensus looks for a 64 basis point contraction in profit margins this year, fading to 28 basis points for 2026 and then 8 to 10 basis points in 2027-28, according to CNBC.“For now, consensus envisions a world where margins eventually recover to pre-tariff trajectories," said S&amp;P's Sandberg.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/amazon-stock-heads-for-yet-another-rough-week/ch6rwXFR3F9">Amazon Stock Heads For Yet Another Rough Week — Retail Traders Bearish As Q3 Earnings Day Nears</a>

Trump Tariffs Set To Hit Your Wallets Hard: S&P Sees Consumers Shouldering Two-Thirds Of Whopping $1.2T Bill

Retail prices are expected to rise as companies juggle higher costs and shrinking profit margins.

Nike, e.l.f. Beauty, and Dr Pepper were the most popular consumer goods brands in their respective categories among American teenagers, according to a new survey published on Thursday.Piper Sandler's "Taking Stock with Teens" report, drawing on a survey of nearly 11,000 teens across 47 states about their clothing, food, and digital service preferences, found that loyalty to well-known brands remained strong.Nike continued to dominate as the top clothing brand, with Abercrombie &amp; Fitch-owned Hollister at number two and Brandy Melville, an Italian womenswear brand, a distant third among upper-income teens.Nike was also the top footwear brand, followed by Adidas and New Balance. The standing signals Nike's strong brand appeal amid an ongoing turnaround effort at the company. On Running overtook HOKA, produced by Deckers Outdoor, for the first time in the past six survey reads.The survey demystifies the latest trends among teenagers, including the Gen Z cohort, which is becoming an increasingly important consumer segment for companies. Notably, the data showed that teens' self-reported annual spending dropped 6% year-on-year, consistent with the broader trend.In the beauty and personal care segment, e.l.f. Beauty was the most preferred brand, and Sephora was the most preferred store for beauty products. E.l.f. Beauty is facing particular disruption due to its heavy reliance on production and sales in China, and has withheld its annual forecast.In the food space, Dr. Pepper was teens' top choice of sodas, followed by Coca-Cola, while the chicken sandwich chain Chick-fil-A trumped low-cost restaurants like McDonald's and Chipotle Mexican Grill.TikTok and Netflix were the platforms of choice in the social media and streaming categories. Meanwhile, Apple's iPhone was ahead by a wide margin, with 87% of the teens saying they own one.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was 'bullish' for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NKE">Nike</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/KDP">Keurig Dr Pepper</a>, and 'neutral' for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ELF">e.l.f. Beauty</a>, as of early Friday. NKE and KDP stocks are down 10% and 20%, respectively, year-to-date. ELF stock has risen 14.5% in this period.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/walmart-takes-leaf-out-of-costco-playbook-expands-sams-club-sunday-hours/ch6alQeR311">Walmart Takes Leaf Out Of Costco Playbook By Extending Sam’s Club Sunday Store Hours</a>&nbsp;

The ‘Detroit Big Three’ – Stellantis NV (STLA), General Motors (GM), and Ford (F) – are reportedly locked in a last-minute lobbying push over potential Trump administration tariffs on medium and heavy-duty trucks.According to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-03/detroit-carmakers-feud-over-trump-s-threatened-truck-tariffs">report</a>, citing people familiar with the matter, Stellantis has sought a waiver or at least a reduction on a potential 25% tariff that could affect its medium-duty Ram pickups produced in Mexico. It added that the company’s lobbying efforts have intensified in recent days.<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/STLA">STLA’s stock</a> rose 1.4% in midday trade, with retail sentiment on Stocktwits trending in ‘bullish’ territory. However, chatter fell to ‘normal’ from ‘high’ levels over the past day.&nbsp;The report stated that General Motors and Ford have urged officials to deny Stellantis’s request. Ford has argued that exempting Stellantis would create a cost advantage over U.S.-assembled trucks that already contain imported components, which are subject to existing tariffs. GM warned that granting relief to Stellantis could set a precedent, prompting other automakers to seek similar exemptions for vehicles built outside the U.S., including Mexican-made Chevrolet and GMC models.<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/F">Ford’s stock</a> edged 0.4% higher in midday trade, with retail sentiment dropping to ‘bearish’ from ‘bullish’ and chatter slowing down to ‘high’ from ‘extremely high’ over the past day. Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/GM">GM’s stock</a> gained 0.14% as sentiment simmered down to ‘neutral’ from ‘bullish’ amid ‘high’ levels of chatter.The report stated that sources said it remains unclear when a decision on the tariffs will be finalized, or whether any reduction will be granted.
