How to check this claim
Look at: Construction Industries segment price realization impact on sales (unfavorable price/mix, year-over-year), Q4 2025
It came true if: Q4 2025 unfavorable price realization impact in Construction Industries smaller in magnitude than the Q3 2025 unfavorable price impact reported
Where: Company segment sales variance disclosure (10-Q / Q4 earnings release and CFO commentary, Construction Industries price realization bridge)
In context
“previously estimated to be 23.0% for 2025, excluding discrete items. Turning to Slide 15. To assist you with your modeling, I'll provide our third quarter assumptions.

The impact of price is expected to be similar to what we saw in the second quarter versus the prior year.

We also expect higher sales in oil and gas driven by Solar Turbines and turbine-related services. Price realization should remain favorable as well. Now I'll provide some color on our third quarter margin expectations. Excluding the net impact from incremental tariffs, we expect the third quarter enterprise adjusted operating profit margin will be similar t”
