最新消息：市場傳聞：受貿易協定不確定性影響，外國汽車製造商考慮將最便宜的車型撤出美國市場

By

-- （更新：本田和日產已回覆置評請求。） 根據《華爾街日報》週二引述知情人士消息報道，外國汽車製造商已通知川普政府，如果美墨加協定被削弱或根本不續簽，他們可能會將旗下最便宜的車型撤出美國市場。 報導稱，豐田汽車（TM）、本田汽車（HMC）、日產和現代汽車為美國消費者提供小型、價格實惠的汽車，雖然其中許多車型是在美國生產的，但它們依賴這三個北美國家的零件。 本田發言人透過電子郵件告訴，即使沒有貿易協議，本田仍將繼續在美國銷售緊湊型思域，但如果沒有北美國家之間自由貿易的確定性，這樣做在經濟上將變得更加困難。 日產汽車發言人透過電子郵件告訴：“日產致力於為美國消費者提供價格合理的汽車，並正在擴大美國本土的生產規模以實現這一目標。然而，入門級汽車的關稅正在推高成本，危及消費者的購買力。我們正在積極與美國和墨西哥的領導人溝通，以應對這一挑戰。” 豐田和現代汽車尚未回覆的置評請求。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）

Kimberly-Clark First-Quarter Results Top Views; Full-Year Outlook Affirmed

Kimberly-Clark (KMB) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results and maintained its full-year outlook Tuesday, while the consumer goods maker flagged potential incremental input cost headwinds of up to $170 million in the second half due to elevated oil prices.The Kleenex tissues maker's adjusted earnings attributable to the company rose to $1.97 a share for the March quarter from $1.93 a year earlier, which was the consensus on FactSet. Net sales improved 2.7% to $4.16 billion, topping the Street's view for $4.09 billion.The company's shares were up 1.1% in Tuesday afternoon trade. So far this year, the stock has lost 1.6% in value.Kimberly-Clark said it continues to expect full-year adjusted EPS from continuing operations to grow at a double-digit rate, while adjusted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark are still seen flat, both on a constant-currency basis.The company also continues to expect 2026 organic sales to grow in line to ahead of the weighted average growth in the categories and countries it competes, which for the latest 12 months grew at roughly 2.5%, it said.Kimberly-Clark could face gross incremental input cost headwinds of between $150 million and $170 million in the second half of the year, if oil prices stay at the $100 a barrel level, Chief Financial Officer Nelson Urdaneta said in prepared remarks on the company's website.Energy prices have soared following the US-Israel war with Iran that started at the end of February, with the Strait of Hormuz -- the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows -- effectively closed. The conflict paused following a recent ceasefire between the US and Iran and later between Israel and Lebanon.Kimberly-Clark's first-quarter international personal care business revenue climbed 9.1% to $1.51 billion, buoyed by organic sales growth of 4% and favorable currency impacts. Sales in North America fell 0.6% to $2.65 billion, driven by a 2.7% headwind from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US, partially offset by organic sales growth of 1.8%."We continued to deliver solid volume-plus-mix performance while building share momentum despite continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty," Chief Executive Mike Hsu said in a statement. "We continue to generate meaningful cost savings that reinforce our strong financial foundation and enable us to invest in our exciting future."For the second quarter, Kimberly-Clark expects to incur a $50 million headwind related to a recent fire at its Ontario, California, distribution center, "as well as some incremental costs due to the conflict in the Middle East," Urdaneta said. "We expect to fully mitigate these costs in the second half of the year with the many levers available within our integrated margin management capabilities."Price: $99.40, Change: $+1.15, Percent Change: +1.17%
