Retailers consider stock market exit due to Trump's erratic policies

CEOs of US-listed companies are fed up with Trump's unpredictable economic warfare. His fluctuating import tariffs make it increasingly difficult for many companies, especially in retail, to maintain their production and trade flows. For this reason, several US companies are considering delisting from the stock market. 'Think of companies like Under Armour,' says Justin Blekemolen of Lynx.

One of the most notable examples is shoe brand Skechers. The company lost about 40% of its market value in recent months and recently agreed to a takeover. The well-known brand Birkenstock is also mentioned as a potential departure from Wall Street.

According to Blekemolen, the retail sector is under particular pressure. 'Retailers are already in a tough spot. If you look at the stock prices of big players like Nike, you see how hard it can hit. They produce their goods in countries like Vietnam, where high import tariffs were suddenly introduced earlier this year.'
