The most likely path, plus upside and downside

Watch over Q2 2026
Most likely

Price reductions result in a temporary spike in sales but stabilize as consumers return to typical buying habits.

If things move faster

Sustained consumer interest leads to a shift in purchasing norms, resulting in long-term growth for brands successfully engaging in value-based marketing.

If the signal weakens

Aggressive discounting could erode brand value, leading to reduced margins and potential backlash from consumers expecting consistent low prices.
