Highlighted Research
In his proprietary quarterly survey of construction equipment dealers, David Raso found dealers’ production and margin targets could face significant pressure if delayed orders don’t materialize or inventory isn’t reduced, raising risks for 2025.
Dealers’ global 6-month y-o-y retail sales growth deteriorates to -2.1%, its weakest reading since 3Q20. North America and Europe are particularly soft.
New inventory levels have surged to levels only surpassed during the 2009 financial crisis. Used inventory also rises, now well above historical averages.
Dealers forecast a larger y-o-y purchasing decline than the last survey with a widening gap between purchasing and retail sales as inventory reduction becomes a focus.
