Companies have refrained from recouping tariff money by raising prices because they don't know the effect on demand, have long term supply contracts, want to reduce (move) current inventory, and have to consider what competitors are doing. Once they know what's happening financially, layoffs and price hikes will begin.

Just my guess. There's an adjustment to everything and tariffs are widespread.
