That article title was pretty bad. The paywall made it heard to read the article as well.

Apparently they have ONE store/location. Maybe they did massive wholesale, but it sure wouldn't seem like a competitor to Home Depot or Lowe's.

The amount of money I spend at Home Depot and Lowes, there is no chance they are going out of business any time soon

I read a different article pertaining to this since the one linked here is behind a paywall and tariffs are not mentioned. It stated "Analysts attribute the pitfalls to inflation and a stalled housing market".
The handwriting was on the wall. The surprising thing is that it's taken this long. Economics 101, when prices go up sales will go down. Was it necessary for these companies to raise prices the way they did? No, but they took advantage of the opportunity and only have themselves to blame.
Corporate profits and losses due to damage and theft have to be paid by someone.
What is the tariff amount increase for one 2x4x8, the 10% increase or some other producer/distributor/retailer markup? 10% tariff (some claim 45% is on softwoods)
I see thousands of board feet of lumber, cut to rough dimensions, trucked out on a weekly basis from southern Md. Some timber being trucked to mills in Pa. Various destinations, Canada being one. Cabinet shops came and went, now the builders are crying because imported cabinets are up 30% and due to increase again.
