While Bombardier posted growth in 2024 and sees promising market momentum, uncertainties surrounding potential 25% U.S. tariffs against Canada cloud its anticipated results going into 2025. As such, the Canadian-based manufacturer held off on providing guidance for this year as it usually does when it releases its year-end results.

“I am very disappointed that we can’t guide 2025 today,” Bombardier president and CEO Éric Martel told analysts this morning, releasing the company’s 2024 year-end results. “In the past four years, Bombardier has created such a strong track record of meeting but also exceeding commitment. The team and I were well prepared to confirm our 2025 objectives today, but in light of the current tariff threat, not providing guidance is the most responsible and transparent thing for us to do.”
