STAG Industrial, Inc. 10-Q

Item 1A. Risk Factors Other than the following, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2025. Trade policies, tariffs and related government actions may cause a decline in economic activity and have a material adverse impact on our business. The U.S. government has recently indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries, and has made proposals and taken actions related thereto. Most recently, the United States has imposed or sought to impose significant increases to tariffs on foreign goods imported into the United States, including from China, Canada and Mexico, such as steel and aluminum. In response to such actions, some foreign governments, including China, have instituted retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods. Further governmental actions related to the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers by the United States or foreign countries or changes to international trade agreements or policies, or uncertainty related to any such actions, could further increase costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by our current and future tenants and adversely affect the revenues and profitability of our tenants whose businesses rely on goods imported from such impacted jurisdictions. Such action, changes or uncertainty could also increase the costs and decrease margins on our development or expansion projects. Any of these impacts could depress economic activity and have a material adverse effect on the businesses of our current and future tenants as well as on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
