Shipping giant\u00a0Maersk<\/a>\u00a0says it sees \u201cresilience\u201d in demand despite inflation and tariff pressures.<\/p>\n

The company, widely considered the bellwether of global trade,\u00a0released a report<\/a>\u00a0Thursday (Nov. 6) showing quarterly earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $2.68 billion.<\/p>\n

As a report by CNBC noted, that\u2019s higher than the $2.6 billion forecast by analysts, but still down significantly from the $4.8 billion Maersk recorded the same period last year. The Danish company also raised its full-year operating profit forecast to between $9 billion and $9.5 billion, compared to an earlier guidance of $8 billion to $9.5 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what allowed us to raise the guidance was really a story of resilience,\u201d Maersk CEO\u00a0Vincent Clerc<\/a>\u00a0said in an interview with CNBC\u2019s \u201cSquawk Box Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cResilience of\u00a0demand across all geographies<\/a>\u00a0with, towards the end of the quarter, even the U.S. picking up again as we move towards the seasonal year-end peak,\u201d Clerc added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd resilience also in our operations where despite a lot of inflationary pressure and a lot of uncertainty, we\u2019ve been able to trim costs and keep our costs under control and thus lift margins across all of the businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other tariff-related news, PYMNTS wrote this week about the importance of\u00a0procurement mapping<\/a>\u00a0in the face of ongoing trade tensions.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrade flow disruptions are impacting firms across sectors, and CFOs can no longer afford to treat procurement mapping purely as documentation,\u201d that report said. \u201cInstead, they must work to use the exercise to stress-test exposures and harden operations against shocks.\u201d<\/p>\n

A \u201cmapped, traceable supply chain\u201d lets companies model the cost of disruptions, evaluate near-shoring opportunities and quantify working capital locked in delays or safety stock, PYMNTS wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also allows finance leaders to reduce risk premiums associated with volatile regions or non-compliant partners,\u201d the report continued.<\/p>\n

For finance chiefs juggling cost, risk and liquidity, mapping presents a starting point, offering the data foundation needed to view\u00a0procurement<\/a>\u00a0as a path to operational resilience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a\u00a0continuous evolution<\/a>\u00a0and \u2026 dynamic disruption in finance that requires CFOs to harness data and AI to make finance more efficient, more effective and substantially more strategic,\u201d\u00a0Mastercard<\/a>\u00a0Chief Commercial Payments Officer\u00a0Raj Seshadri<\/a>\u00a0told PYMNTS during a discussion last month for the B2B PYMNTS 2025 event,\u00a0\u201cB2B.AI: The Architecture of Intelligent Money Movement<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
