BRP Faces Major New Tariff Hit Amid USMCA Uncertainty -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Apr 15

0944 ET - BRP's tariff headwinds add another layer of complexity to an already tense trade environment. TD Cowen analyst Brian Morrison notes that the maker of Sea-Doos and Ski-Doos was already contending with a 50% tariff on applicable steel, aluminum, and copper content, but amended rules now impose a 25% tariff on the total value of products such as off-road vehicles and snowmobiles imported into the U.S. He calls the change a "major headwind," especially as it coincides with the ongoing USMCA renegotiation. Morrison estimates the net impact could reduce FY27 EBITDA by roughly $350 million, though he cautions that the outcome could shift significantly depending on how USMCA talks evolve, with visibility remaining limited at this stage.
