Grounding quotes
  • “We finished the year on a solid note. After operating through nearly two years of elevated inventories, tariff-driven cost pressures, and broader macro uncertainty, we are entering 2026 with a noticeably healthier backdrop.”
  • “Fourth quarter demand for new and used equipment rebounded meaningfully. Lower interest rates, tax clarity following the one big, beautiful bill, and improving sentiment all contributed to a more constructive environment heading into the new year.”
  • “Even with that impact, while interquarterly performance came in short of expectations, we delivered a record quarter for equipment sales. Inventories are starting to normalize, competitive discounting is moderating, and customers are returning to more typical fleet replenishment cycles across both construction and material handling segments.”
  • “It is hard to answer, but what I would say is that it is consistent across our OEMs that we are seeing the decision as a positive—that overall, we believe this will create more certainty on the tariff policy.”
