Default prices increasing due to Trump tariffs

Many MAGAs still insist tariffs will not cause price increases. With Trump's planned new tariffs announced this week, there is plenty to discuss.


Here are the companies that have implemented or warned of price increases in recent months.
Perhaps the MAGAs can review the list.



ConAgra
ConAgra —makers of Pam cooking spray, Reddi-wip, and other snack foods — said it will need to take "targeted pricing actions" to account for steel and aluminum tariffs, among other concerns.

"It's really no different from avocados," CEO Sean Connolly told The Wall Street Journal. "We have no choice but to source it elsewhere.

Nike
Nike is planning to raise prices in order to offset an expected $1 billion additional tariff costs in the 2026 fiscal year, the company told investors in a June 26 earnings call.

"These tariffs represent a new and meaningful cost headwind," said CFO Matthew Friend during the analyst call about Nike's 2025 fiscal year.

The company will be implementing a "surgical price increase" starting this fall in the US, with "phased implementation." The company hasn't revealed which products will be affected, or by how much prices will increase.

Macy's
In its Q1 earnings report on May 28, Macy's announced it was reducing its earnings outlook for the year because of several factors, including higher tariffs and consumers' moderating their discretionary spending.

In a post-earnings call, Macy's CEO, Tony Spring, added that the department store chain would be raising prices on some items to account for higher tariffs.

Levgo Inc
Spring said that higher "pricing is working its way into the system slowly," adding, "That's why we have taken a more cautious approach to our outlook for the year."

The company's COO and CFO, Adrian Mitchell, followed up to Spring's comment. "We are not just broadly increasing price," he said. "We're being incredibly surgical about the situation with tariffs."

He added, "We're making selective price increase in selective brands, selective categories. So some of the impact on our gross margin this year is going to be around the tariffs."

The news comes in the midst of Macy's plan to close around 150 underperforming stores around the country by 2027 as it leans into expanding its luxury brands, including the high-end department store Bloomingdale's and beauty chain Bluemercury.

Shein and Temu
The two Chinese retailers released almost identical notices on April 16, both reading: "Due to recent changes in global trade rules and tariffs, our operating expenses have gone up."

"To keep offering the products you love without compromising on quality, we will be making price adjustments starting April 25, 2025," Shein's statement said.

Shein, a fast-fashion retailer, and Temu, a marketplace for everything from home goods to electronics, promised their US customers eight final days of low-price shopping.

In addition to hiking tariffs on Chinese imports, Trump also cracked down on the de minimis trade loophole that allowed small parcels under $800 to enter the US tax-free. Shein and Temu were large beneficiaries of this loophole.

Ford
Bloomberg reported that the automaker plans to raise prices on new gas and electric cars starting in May unless Trump gives the industry some relief from tariffs.

Ford, in a memo to dealers viewed by Bloomberg, said that the company anticipates "the need to make vehicle pricing adjustments in the future, which is expected to happen with May production." Prices won't change for vehicles in inventory now.

On April 14, Trump told reporters that he was contemplating a temporary tariff exemption for autos to give manufacturers more time to move production to the US — but no blanket exemption has yet been instituted.

Volkswagen
According to a memo first reported by Automotive News, Volkswagen said it would place an import fee on vehicles made outside of the US in response to Trump's 25% tariff on car imports.

Kjell Gruner, Volkswagen's North America chief executive officer, recently said the carmaker would keep prices steady through the end of May but that they could increase in June.

Best Buy
Best Buy CEO Corie Barry said during the company's March earnings call that Trump's tariff plans are likely to increase prices.

"Trade is critically important to our business and industry. The consumer electronic supply chain is highly global, technical and complex," Barry said. "We expect our vendors across our entire assortment will pass along some level of tariff costs to retailers, making price increases for American consumers highly likely."

Target
Target CEO Brian Cornell told CNBC in a March interview that Trump's 25% tariff plan on goods from Mexico and Canada would likely result in price increases on produce.

"Those are categories where we'll try to protect pricing, but the consumer will likely see price increases over the next couple of days," Cornell said.

Some prices at the store have already gone up.

Stanley Black & Decker
Donald Allan, the CEO of the manufacturing company Stanley Black & Decker, said during a February earnings call: "Our approach to any tariff scenario will be to offset the impacts with a mix of supply chain and pricing actions, which might lag the formalization of tariffs by two to three months."

Allan had previously told analysts in an October earnings call that the company had been evaluating "a variety of different scenarios" to plan for new tariffs under Trump.

"And obviously, coming out of the gate, there would be price increases associated with tariffs that we put into the market," Allan said, adding that "there's usually some type of delay given the processes that our customers have around implementing price."

Walmart
On May 15, Walmart executives said price increases were likely to spike even higher, blaming Trump's ongoing trade war.

"Even at the reduced levels, the higher tariffs will result in higher prices," CEO Doug McMillon said during the company's first quarter earnings call.

US sales were boosted by shoppers looking to beat tariff-related price hikes — but despite strong first-quarter results, Walmart's chief financial officer, John David Rainey, said the extra costs are too great for the company to take on without passing part of the burden on to consumers.

"We're wired for everyday low prices, but the magnitude of these increases is more than any retailer can absorb," he said.

Meanwhile, Walmart workers have shared photos of price hikes being applied to store products.

Columbia Sportswear
Tim Boyle, the CEO of Columbia Sportswear, told analysts on an October earnings call that the company was "very concerned about the imposition of tariffs. " He said that while he considered Columbia adept at managing tariffs, "trade wars are not good and not easy to win."

Boyle also told The Washington Post in October that the company was "set to raise prices."

"It's going to be very, very difficult to keep products affordable for Americans," he said. He later said in a February interview with CNBC that "we need some surety about what is going to happen" before making price changes.

AutoZone
Philip Daniele, the CEO of the auto-parts company AutoZone, told analysts on a September earnings call that tariff policies had "ebbed and flowed over the years," and if Trump implemented more tariffs, "we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer."

"We generally raise prices ahead of that," Daniele said, adding that prices would gradually settle over time. "So, that's historically what we've done," he said.

A 25% tariff on car imports is expected to increase manufacturing costs by anywhere from $4,000 to $12,000.

Procter & Gamble
P&G, the consumer goods company behind brands like Tide and Charmin, is looking at raising prices on new and existing products.

CEO Jon Moeller told CNBC that price hikes are "likely."

"We will have to pull every lever we have in our arsenal to mitigate the impact of tariffs within our cost structure and P&L," P&G's CFO, Andre Schulten, said on a call with reporters.

The company is evaluating "exactly what is the right plan by brand, by market, what combination of pricing, over what period of time," Schulten added.

Ferrari
Italian luxury carmaker Ferrari said in March it'd raise prices by up to 10% on certain models imported to the US starting April 2.

The change was made "based on the preliminary information currently available regarding the introduction of import tariffs on EU cars into the USA," the company said.

Hermès
Eric du Halgouët, executive vice president of finance at the company, told analysts on a call in April that Hermès, the luxury retailer known for its iconic Birkin handbags, hadn't yet been impacted by the tariffs, but said the company would raise prices in the US in May.

"The price increase that we're going to implement will be just for the US. Since it's aimed at offsetting the increase in tariffs, that only applies to the American market," du Halgouët said on the call.

Nintendo
While Nintendo's Switch 2 console hasn't seen a price hike over tariffs, Nintendo did raise the price on some of its accessories "due to changes in market conditions."

"Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions," the company said.

Camera makers Nikon, Canon, and Leica
Several big suppliers of photography equipment have announced their own price hikes.

"Due to the recent tariffs, a necessary price adjustment for products will take effect on June 23, 2025. We will be carefully monitoring any tariff developments and may adjust pricing as necessary to reflect the evolving market conditions," Nikon said in an announcement in May.

In its first-quarter earnings call, Canon said it will raise prices but is still "in the process of estimating the timing and amount of the increase."

At Leica, price increases across some product lines took effect May 1.

"This is not a Leica-initiated price increase, but a result of the newly enacted tariffs that began on April 5 on imported products, which are significantly impacting the cost of imported goods, including photographic equipment and optics," Leica USA Trade Marketing and Product Communications Manager Nathan Kellum-Pathe said in a statement to Digital Camera World in April.

You think MAGAs shop at any of those places? Walmart and Dollar Store are the only ones that matter to them.

... Let us know WHEN they raise their prices.

So the American people can thus decide WHERE they want
to spend their money. ... Either the company can decide to
"eat" whatever tariff "cost" there may be - or take the risk of
passing along the "cost" to the consumer and having them turn-away.

See? ... The true meaning of Free Enterprise! ... ..

Maybe Trump will open a chain of big box retail stores for MAGAs who don't want to eat tariffs.

How is any of this good for Americans, mate?

VitaMan it's all cooked in the books. People can blame it on tariffs and Trump all they want but they won't look at the Fed. Gold up/Fiat Currencies down. Their plan is going accordingly.

Wait until that 50% tariff on Brazil goes into effect. Expect coffee to go up 25 to 50 cents a cup.

Meanwhile we have $27 billion surplus for the month of June. Whens the last time that ever happened? More jobs, higher pay, lower inflation.

In the case of Nike, they sell 800million pairs of shoes a year roughly half in the US. So that means to make up the 1 billion increase each pair of shoes should increase by $2 wholesale or probably about $5-6 retail or about 1 happy meal.

An odd way to admit prices are going up.


Tariffs are not free enterprise. They are Donaldsuprises.

How does a one-month surplus lead to the predictions in your last sentence? That makes zero sense. It is just wishful thinking.

And it's gonna take.... let's see... at that run rate... $3.8 Trillion divided by $27 Billion... wait... shit, that can't be right... oh, it is...

1,370 months to eliminate the projected added debt from the BBB... 114 years... though that is with an interest rate of... zero... which ain't the case... but it makes as much sense as promoting a one-month surplus...

The future looks bright, my friends! BUY THE DIP! What could go wrong?

Assuming that number is correct, which is always a doubt when Trump speaks. That means the government collected 27 billion in Federal Sales Tax. No income tax reduction, just an additional sales tax.

I think that we both misunderstood, that the DL means there was a $27 Billion dollar trade surplus. So my post, especially, is off mark (though I am still FUCKING PISSED about the added debt from the BBB). I'll still say, though, that one month of data means nothing.

Higher pay will contribute to higher inflation. A $27 billion surplus for the month of June but what other social programs or war spending package to Ukraine or Israel will consume that 27 billion surplus like it didn't even exist? US debt is just growing and getting worse. It's a mathematical certainty that the debt cannot be paid back. Inflation is just getting worse and will continue to get worse for the forseeable future. Trumps 2 biggest lies so far... "I'll end the war in 24 hours" and "We'll release the Epstein client list." More of the same.
