Improving

After several quarters of negative or flat growth in 2025, the company has returned to positive year-over-year revenue and profit growth.

The outlook remains tied to the North American industrial production index, with growth expected to be driven by market share gains in fragmented MRO segments and continued digital sales adoption.
