Atlanta-based cold storage warehouse and logistics operator Americold Realty Trust told Wall Street analysts on May 8 that tariffs and U.S. trade policy have had a limited “direct” impact on its fast-growing global operations, but are indirectly affecting its future growth.
Americold CEO George Chappelle said during the company’s first-quarter conference call that the Atlanta-based cold storage real estate investment trust (REIT) was updating its yearly guidance based on declining consumer confidence related to tariffs, rather than the Trump administration’s trade policy itself.
