Positive Outlook
- Second quarter sales in each of our end markets demonstrated strong quarter-over-quarter growth, with the exception of aerospace which was off 4.1% from the first quarter.
- Indications continue to point to demand recovery in the commercial aerospace market in the second half of 2021, especially in the fourth quarter.
- The recent jump in domestic airline passenger traffic, combined with the pace of new aircraft orders from major airlines and increases in aircraft build rates, strongly support that outlook and the growing confidence of our customers.
- Additional positive developments across our end markets are also driving demand.
- A jump in new car demand and planned new model introductions as well as a pick-up in industrial manufacturing, which are benefitting our heavy equipment sales, while the bounce in oil prices and the increase in the U.S. rotary rig count are positives for the oil & gas market.
