During the same time the Fed repeatedly suggested that the interest hike would come soon, yet none of these companies prepared for that at all.



I do agree with you that those companies should have prepared for the hike but I also remember Powell saying “inflation is transitory” :p

If you can find a quote for that, I'd be surprised.

As I remember it, the Fed kept saying things were fine until faced with at a hard, cold 8.5% inflation rate.
