** Tariffs are a key risk for retail (and many other sectors). Have limited conviction in companies' ability to take price post-pandemic to offset the tariff impact - Mari Shor, Senior Equities Analyst at Columbia Threadneedle Investments

** The common denominator is low pricing power and the potential for higher import prices which could indirectly squeeze margins down the road - Chuck Grom, managing director at Gordon Haskett Equity Research
