RE: Why would US tariffs affect JD?3 Apr 2025 15:58
The direct impact on JD Sports is likely to be minimal compared to apparel and footwear manufacturers. That said, the sector as a whole is feeling the pressure, as we’re already seeing. On a more positive note, JD could use this information to support its trading update on April 9th.
As a long-term holder, I see this as a real buying opportunity. Market sentiment can shift rapidly in the coming days, weeks, or months (especially with the trump administration), and I’d rather be in than out. Ignore the derampers - frankly, they have no clue where the share price is headed. It reminds me of the Rolls-Royce board when the stock was under pressure; the noise faded quickly once the share price started climbing.
Good luck all - “buy when there’s blood in the streets.”
