Ernest & Young, head BritainMats Person: “After years of low interest rates and geopolitical stability, a wave of total transformations – from trade tensions to global conflicts – now means that government policies and global events have a greater impact on value and profits compared to many decades.”

The study found that during the past three years -a period characterized by the return of inflation, the Russian attack on Ukraine, the collapse of the British bond market, the Israel war on Gaza, and the return of Donald Trump to White HouseNearly 40% of the changes in the total value of the British “Fotsi 100” index occurred in days that witnessed major economic or geopolitical events.

The profits of one company out of every 4 companies out of about 3,500 international companies that were subject to study decreased by 5% or more between 2017 and 2024, on the basis of pre -calculating profits, taxes, depreciation and consumption during the past three years.

Chinese companies were shocked in profits, with 40% of 833 groups that have been analyzed in the country combined sums of $ 73 billion in profits before benefits, taxes, destruction and consumption, and Pearson said that the decline in the profits of Chinese companies focused greatly in real estate, steel and construction sectors.

British companies

According to the analysis, the performance of the British companies was better, although a group is much smaller than 100 companies that fulfilled the extent of revenue required to study, and only 14 companies witnessed a remarkable decrease in the profit margin before interest, taxes, depreciation and consumption, with a total loss of $ 2.5 billion in profits during the three years.

However, some companies adapted well with the changing total scene, and were able to enhance their profits to outperform their counterparts in the sector.

The study found that only one in every 10 global groups achieved a profit margin before benefits, taxes, depreciation and consumption in the first quarter of 2014 managed to preserve it until 2024.

Among the British companies that managed to overcome the fluctuations of the macroeconomic and continue to increase its profits, the Nicks Fashion Company, the Kruda Group of Chemicals, the Rio Tinto Mining Company, and the Spirx Engineering Group.

In USThe companies whose profits have increased before benefits, taxes, depreciation and consumption include compared to their counterparts, the leading Catpeberler company in industry, UBS Logistics Services, Drug Pharaoh and Mirk, and Johnson & Johnson Group for consumers.

Pearson said that the companies that managed to protect the margins of their profit or achieve them “have succeeded in diversifying their investment portfolios, managing the base of their costs, identifying and understanding various changes in policies, and updating their ruling to reflect a different world.”
