In context
“may be able to take advantage of here. Matthew White: So, Kevin, I always remain a little guarded. Right? I think I need to. But I sort of think about it as, you know, we have an engine here with a few cylinders. Right? And one cylinder is Americas, one is APAC, and one is EMEA. And we are not running on all three cylinders. So while the Americas both results and trend, I think, are positive, we are just not seeing that in EMEA, for example, today. So I think to see a true, what I view, global recovery, I would like to see all three running in the same direction. But time will tell how that ends up. But I feel in the Americas and, like you mentioned, the packaged gases, what we are seeing on some of the competitiveness in the US Gulf Coast, that does include commercial space, as you know. We expect that to continue to post some pretty good numbers. As far as are there offsets to that or not elsewhere in the world, that is the challenge that we need to see to kind of break out of this and start to see global positive buy. So I will say, you know, the global basis, while we showed 1% global volume, which is mostly our project backlog contribution, we did turn positive on base volumes. It is just not positive enough to round to 1% but it has started to turn positive. So we will see if that trend continues and actually breaks out and rounds to a positive base volume. But right now, you are seeing puts and takes around the world. And we will see if the comps lap to where that could be positive. Well, I mean, we feel good about our source. And we feel good about our capability to not only meet our current customer contractual commitments,”
