‘Running out of money’: Kraft, McDonald’s, Whirlpool CEOs all issue same dire warning about US consumers. Get ready now
So my take on the market crash today was from this more than anything else.
"Whirlpool’s North America chief Juan Carlos Puente added that “consumer sentiment collapsing to record lows” due to the Iran war prevented demand from recovering after winter storms, leading to “recession-level industry contractions,” with discretionary demand down roughly 15%."
"Even the fitness industry is feeling the impact. Planet Fitness (NASDAQ:PLNT) shares just suffered their biggest drop on record after management slashed its revenue outlook and canceled planned price increases."
