So I don't like doing that, Matt, because, you know, China is part of our business. But you'll see an acceleration even with China just because it's a little bit more stable versus where it was last year.

How to check this claim

Look at: Total company (or relevant segment) revenue growth rate for full year 2026, including China, versus full year 2025

It came true if: Full-year 2026 reported growth rate higher than full-year 2025 growth rate (acceleration), consistent with single-digit growth range mentioned

Where: Company quarterly/annual income statement and earnings call commentary (10-K / Q4 2026 earnings release)
