November 24, 2025 — Financial services firm Moody’s Ratings has predicted declines for the U.S. port sector in its recently released 2026 outlook.
“The 2026 outlook for the U.S. ports sector remains negative given the adverse effect of tariffs and policy uncertainty and as U.S. real GDP growth slows and consumer spending moderates,” Moody’s Ratings Assistant Vice President David Kamran said in the update.
