FRANKFURT, May 2 (Reuters) - German chemicals giant BASF
on Friday reaffirmed its full-year earnings guidance
but warned the outlook was fraught with high uncertainty because
of U.S. tariffs and any reactions to them by other countries.
"Developments going forward will largely depend on the trade
policy decisions made by the United States and its trading
partners. A reliable quantification of the impact on the global
economy is not possible at this time," BASF said in a statement.
The group reiterated it was targeting 2025 earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and
adjusted for one-off items of between 8 billion euros ($9
billion) and 8.4 billion euros.
