So what does that tell you right now about what you're expecting from your perspective for the rest of 2026 then?

Zo RahimGUEST
Yeah, so I think it still remains an AI-driven economy in the U.S., right, when you think about where we're seeing continued growth come from.

Zo RahimGUEST
It is anything related to AI and the AI build-out, especially if you're benefiting from the AI CapEx boom we're seeing, especially from these hyperscalers and these tech companies.

Zo RahimGUEST
And so if you're related to any of those industries, you are seeing a more favorable operating environment.

Zo RahimGUEST
But if you are in a rate sensitive sector or supporting one of those sectors, such as general consumer goods, especially consumer durable goods, or the housing and residential sectors, you're maybe not seeing that same level of benefits.
