“China was down about 3% but is improving sequentially and we expect continued improvement into low-single-digit growth levels as we plan for 2027.”

In context

“Lal Karsanbhai (President and Chief Executive Officer): We've spoken about being bullish on the U.S. and the investments there; that has significant legs and we were up 10% in the U.S. in the quarter. I don't expect that to subside. Europe was down 1% in sales in the quarter but orders were positive in Europe, which is a good sign. China was down about 3% but is improving sequentially and we expect continued improvement into low-single-digit growth levels as we plan for 2027. Other Asia was very strong, powered by Japan, India and Southeast Asia.”
