Since April 2, the sweeping tariffs implemented by U.S. President Donald Trump have thrown global companies into a state of financial uncertainty, pushing many to retract their financial guidance.

In the automotive sector, groups like Ford and General Motors have either scaled back profit forecasts or suspended buyback plans as they navigate the turbulent economic climate. In aerospace, airlines like Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways have similarly retreated from providing precise financial projections amid stalled travel demand.

Furthermore, companies in the healthcare and retail sectors, including Belluscura and Character Group, are finding it increasingly difficult to forecast future profits due to fluctuating trade conditions. These financial recalibrations highlight the broader impact of tariffs on corporate strategy and market predictions.
