“So we will see. You know, right now, it is 7% to 9%, kind of range we have out there. And we have got to work through to get higher than that. Right? And we know that. And so that is how I would think about it. But the algo is still intact. And we will take incremental actions if we need to bridge this further to help get us back to that double-digit EPS growth.”

In context
“er on sort of the first-of-month forwards, which is about a month old. Right now, spots are better. The foreign currency strengthened since that time. So that would provide FX upside if these spots remained. But we can set that aside. You know, as far as the management actions and the capital allocation, look. We know we need to get back to that 8% to 12% range excluding macro. I think we had a little bit of a drag, as you know, with helium for a period of time. We have about percent or so drag just on the engineering business from its timing of projects, which is really more just a function of what is done as internal projects that is capitalized versus external projects for a profit. And so we have got to get through those two, and I think that can get us back into that 8% to 12% range. So we will see. You know, right now, it is 7% to 9%, kind of range we have out there. And we have got to work through to get higher than that. Right? And we know that. And so that is how I would think about it. But the algo is still intact. And we will take incremental actions if we need to bridge this further to help get us back to that double-digit EPS growth. Operator: And that concludes our question-and-answer session. I would now like to turn the call back over to Mr. Juan Pelaez for any additional or closing remarks. Juan Pelaez: Abby, once again, nice job. Thank you, everyone, for participating in today's call.
