Dell Technologies hopes to minimize the impact of Mexican tariffs.
Round Rock-based Dell’s year-over-year revenue has risen to $22-billion slightly lower than forecasted due to lagging demand from China, which has also been locked in trade disputes with the U.S. And now with the president vowing to impose tariffs on Mexico, Dell CFO Thomas Sweet told Bloomberg consumers will feel the trickle-down, “To the extent that we can’t minimize it there is obviously some work that we’ll have to do around our pricing frame work as we think about the impact of those tariffs.”
But he said there is a silver lining since Dell’s more than 25 production facilities across the world give them a lot of flexibility to minimize any impact passed on to customers.
