BloombergWednesday, August 6, 2025 at 7:22:20 AM
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Japan's second-largest defense contractor, is sticking to its profit forecast despite facing higher costs from US tariffs. The company plans to pass these extra expenses on to customers through price increases and by keeping fixed costs under control.
Editor’s Note: This story highlights how global trade policies, like US tariffs, can squeeze businesses—but also how big companies adapt by shifting costs to consumers. For Kawasaki Heavy, it’s a balancing act: staying profitable without losing customers. If you’ve noticed prices creeping up on industrial or defense-related goods, this could be part of the reason.
