Title: HP Hastens China Exit as Tariffs Kick a Hole in its Profits

Link: https://slashdot.org/story/25/05/29/1450252/h...

An anonymous reader shares a report: HP is close to ending production of
North-America-bound products in China, after US tariffs kicked a hole in its
quarterly profits. "A quarter ago, we shared that our goal was to have less
than ten percent of the products in North America being shipped from China by
September," HP president and CEO Enrique Lores told investors on the
company's Q2 2025 earnings call. "We have accelerated that and we share that
now almost no products will be coming from China sold in the US by June. It's
a very significant acceleration of the plan that we have." "We accelerated
the shift of factories out from China into Southeast Asia, into Mexico to a
certain extent in the US to mitigate the impact of the change," he added.
Lores also revealed that HP has removed the US as a distribution hub for
products sold in Canada or to Latin America. Doing so means HP doesn't have
to pay tariffs.
