The operating margin is forecast at 8.1%, down approximately 1.1 percentage points from the prior year period.
The earnings deterioration is primarily driven by weak demand in North America's residential construction sector, where housing market conditions remain challenging. However, growth in non-residential segments, particularly data center construction and infrastructure investments, is expected to provide some offset to the residential decline.
