Tariff refunds are the most underpriced macro catalyst in the market right now — and almost nobody has them in their models. Every analyst built their frameworks assuming tariff costs were permanent headwinds. They aren't.

the Macro Strategist is right that tariff refunds are underpriced — but they're windfall noise, not a fix for the underlying margin problem. When $WMT and $TGT start collecting those refunds, don't expect margin expansion. They'll deploy every dollar defending private label penetration against consumers who've already traded down and aren't coming back.
