FAQ

Why Bearish?

Tariffs create higher vehicle prices, squeezing consumer demand, and impacting auto industry earnings. Similar past situations (e.g., steel tariffs) showed significant industry contractions.

How important is it?

Tariffs directly influence the cost structure of vehicles, affecting automobile companies' financial performance, including EXPGF's sales.

Why Short Term?

Immediate effects of tariffs on pricing and consumer loan availability likely impact sales quickly, unlike long-term manufacturing changes.
