Ross Stores CEO對中國關稅的悲觀預測及其影響

Ross Dress for Less正面臨嚴峻挑戰,2025年第一季度的收益顯示銷售停滯不前,淨收入下降。這家折扣零售商面對顧客基數縮減,正在考慮可能在不久的將來影響消費者的重大調整。

在第一季度,Ross Stores報告的可比銷售與去年同期持平,淨收入為4.79億美元,較去年下降近2%。這一下降發生在顧客訪店量穩步減少的背景下,根據Placer.ai的數據顯示,店鋪的訪客量同比下降了2.7%。

CEO警告通脹和關稅問題

在5月22日的收益電話會議上,Ross CEO Jim Conroy對令人擔憂的數字發表評論,將公司業績疲軟歸因於長期通脹和顧客購買模式的轉變。Conroy指出,消費者越來越傾向於購買功能性物品,而非可選擇的產品。他還強調關稅是對盈利能力的新威脅。

特朗普政府最近對進口商品,特別是來自中國的商品,徵收的10%關稅已經影響到Ross,因為其超過50%的產品來自該國。Conroy警告說,這些關稅,加上不斷上升的通脹,可能會導致未來幾個月消費者價格上升。

「貿易政策的波動性及其對經濟、消費者和我們盈利能力的相應影響是高度不可預測的,」Conroy說。「在這些不確定的時期,我們將專注於我們能夠控制的事情,並謹慎地管理業務。」

關稅影響成本,價格上升迫在眉睫

由於預計關稅將保持在較高水平,Ross正在探索調整其定價策略的方法。Conroy確認公司將考慮提高某些商品的價格,但強調價格上漲將是經過戰略性規劃的,取決於該商品是否被認為是功能性或可選擇的。

「我們希望非常謹慎地進行價格上漲,」Ross首席運營官Michael Hartshorn表示。「我們不想成為首家提高價格的公司,我們希望確保我們保持相對於主流零售的價值或定價優勢。」

儘管Ross希望避免大幅度的價格上漲,但公司計劃在今年6月或7月開始調整價格。除了提高價格,Ross還正在與供應商談判以管理進口成本,並考慮從其他國家採購產品,儘管這一轉變預計需要幾個月,並且不會在2026年之前影響價格。

消費者習慣的轉變

隨著價格上升的前景臨近,消費者已經在改變他們的購物習慣,以應對預期的成本上升。市場研究公司Numerator的一項最近調查發現,83%的美國人正準備應對關稅的影響,通過尋找銷售和優惠券、延遲購買和購買更少的進口商品。

Ross Stores以提供折扣價格而聞名,正準備迎接一個挑戰時期,因為更廣泛的經濟環境和消費者行為繼續演變。公司在未來幾個月的策略將決定其如何在關稅上升、通脹和購物趨勢變化的動盪環境中航行。

評論與分析

這篇報導揭示了當前經濟環境中零售業的複雜性,特別是當涉及到全球供應鏈的時候。Ross Stores的情況並非獨一無二,反映了許多依賴進口商品的企業所面臨的共同挑戰。關稅和通脹的雙重壓力不僅影響企業的盈利能力,也對消費者的購買力產生直接影響。這提醒我們,在全球化的市場中,政策變動可以迅速且深遠地影響各個層面。

Ross的應對策略,包括價格調整和供應鏈多元化,是應對這些挑戰的典型措施。然而,這些措施的有效性取決於市場的反應和競爭對手的行動。這種情況強調了企業需要靈活且具有前瞻性的戰略,以應對不斷變化的市場動態。香港的零售商也可以從中汲取經驗,特別是在面對類似的全球供應鏈挑戰時。

Make this photo use ultra realistis  A man sitting at a futuristic desk, interacting with a large, modern holographic touchscreen display similar to the technology in the Iron Man movies. On the desk, there is an Iron Man gauntlet (Infinity Gauntlet) with all the Infinity Stones glowing on it. Next to the gauntlet, there is a plate of grilled corn on the cob (jagung bakar) and a coffee cup beside the plate. The desk area is clean and free of any cables. The overall setting should be a realistic and modern high-tech lab/room with Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Panther suits displayed in pods behind him. Cinematic lighting, hyper-realistic, high detail. Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone night hiker standing in the shallow river at the mouth of the canyon, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with an alluring, confident, quietly sexy mood.

Shot and Camera
Three quarter body shot from slightly low height on the riverbank, placing her on the left third while the water leads into the dark canyon and the star filled sky dominates the top of the frame, preserving the original wide vertical composition.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim athletic build, natural proportions, medium length loose hair, and lightly tanned skin, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic. She stands barefoot in the water with one leg forward, hips relaxed, wearing a fitted cropped technical top and separate high waisted trail shorts with an open lightweight jacket slipping off one shoulder, one hand loosely holding a headlamp at her side and the other brushing hair from her face as she looks up at the stars.

Lighting and Environment
Keep the soft starlight and faint glow from the distant horizon, giving a gentle rim on her shoulders and hair while a subtle fill from the reflected sky reveals her features. The canyon walls, river reflections, pebbled shore, and dense star field stay exactly like the reference, with small ripples around her feet grounding her in the water.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her outfit, keep lighting, perspective, white balance, canyon geometry, and river reflections the same, with realistic scale, body proportions, and clear contact between feet and water surface. Change only the requested element and keep lighting, perspective, white balance, pose, face geometry, body proportions, and silhouette the same, and absolutely avoid added text, painterly or toon styling, CGI look, blown highlights, banding, plastic skin, overly tidy backgrounds, or floating feet while requiring consistent perspective, consistent white balance, subtle film like grain, and physically correct contact shadows and reflections. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a captivating studio portrait of a woman with long, wavy brown hair, seated gracefully on a stool in a thoughtful pose. She is wearing a long, flowing red gown with a one-shoulder design and a thigh-high slit, exuding elegance and sophistication. Her head is slightly tilted, with one hand gently resting on her chin. One leg is slightly extended, revealing a delicate ankle bracelet. Her makeup is polished and natural, featuring defined eyebrows, subtle eyeshadow, mascara, and a berry-toned lipstick. She wears delicate earrings and a gold bracelet that add a touch of sparkle to her overall look. The lighting is soft and diffused, creating a warm and flattering effect that emphasizes her beauty and the flowing lines of the gown. The background is a plain, brown, providing a warm and neutral backdrop. *** The composition is a full shot, capturing her from head to toe, framed vertically to accentuate her height and the flowing lines of the gown. The model is positioned in the center of the frame, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. The overall style is classic, elegant, and timeless, reminiscent of portrait photography, evoking a sense of grace, sophistication, and enduring beauty.
