• Management initiated 2026 guidance of 6%–7% organic revenue growth and Adjusted EPS of $14.65–$14.85 (up 12%–14%), targeting 25%+ organic incrementals and 100%+ free cash flow conversion, signaling confidence in operational leverage.
• Residential weakness forced intentional inventory normalization (took ~1/3 production days), causing ~60% deleverage in Q4; management expects Q1 to be the trough (U.S. resi ~?20% q/q comps) and full-year residential flat to down up to 5%, weighing near-term margins.
• Balanced capital allocation remains active: 2025 deployed/committed ~$3.2 billion (including the announced Stellar Energy data?center cooling deal), with $2.8–$3.3 billion planned for 2026 and $4.7 billion still available under buyback authorization.
• Cost pressures persist — 2025 tariffs were ~\$140M and management expects an incremental tariff impact into 2026 (~\$50M range) plus commodity volatility, requiring continued hedging and dynamic pricing to protect margins.
