Spending on big-ticket items surged in April ahead of tariff impact, Barclays says

Consumer spending data for April may show a strong increase as U.S. consumers try to stock up ahead of potential price hikes from tariffs.

Barclays analyst Haviland Sheldahl-Thomason said in a note to clients that consumers seem to be aware of the potential impact of tariffs in the weeks ahead and have been spending accordingly.

"Spend on electronics, wholesale, and big ticket goods has surged in April compared to last year as consumers may be stocking up before tariff implementation," Sheldahl-Thomason said.

This jump in spending could boost some large retailers.

"Best Buy is again the store with the highest growth in transactions, followed closely by Costco. It should be noted that transactions at Costco have been up for most of 2025, but there is still a notable uptick in their transactions post-Liberation Day," the note said.

Sheldahl-Thomason did say that some seasonal factors, such as the timing of Easter, could also be contributing to spending changes.
