Arizona Tribune - Capstone Sees Minimal Effect from China Tariffs, Decrease in Container Prices Offsets Tariffs

As Kevin Grotke, CEO of the Instone operating business explained, "There is a fair amount of freight in our products and only the product cost is subject to tariff. So a 10% tariff typically will create a price increase to the customer of 3%-4%. With a 15% to 25% decline in container pricing, the tariffs as currently constructed are offset by decreased shipping costs."

Matt Lipman CEO of Capstone Holding added "Kevin and his team have continued to demonstrate that the company has a nimble supply chain that was battle tested through Covid and the first Trump Administration's tariff regime. Despite the recent economic rhetoric, as interest rates decline, the housing shortage remedied and remodeling expenditures continue, we expect 2025 to be a solid year."
