Claire Tassin, retail and e-commerce analyst at Morning Consult joined Cheddar News to discuss misses from retailers on Q4 earnings as well as Bed Bath & Beyonds rumored potential bankruptcy. "We're starting to see consumers lean more and more on debt and savings in order to continue to afford what they need to. So that's not really a strong set up for 2023," she said.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
