Cost Pass-Through Strategy: Croda International plans to pass on additional costs from U.S. tariffs to customers as it aims to maintain profit margins amid high inflation, despite a decline in annual sales and profit for 2024.
Sales Performance and Market Response: The company reported a 9% increase in first-quarter sales, with shares rising by 10% following the update, although they remain down about 20% for the year; analysts are cautiously optimistic about its unchanged profit forecast for 2025.
