Robert Hureau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alamo Group, participated in the company's fourth quarter 2025 earnings conference call. During the call, he discussed the performance of the industrial division, noting that it experienced strong end-market demand over the previous eight quarters, with robust double-digit growth. He stated that the company expects this demand to slow in 2026, projecting flattish to low-to-mid single-digit end-market growth for the year. Hureau also addressed the company's approach to its snow business, indicating a strategic shift away from pursuing every possible sale regardless of margin profile, toward a focus on the quality of earnings and margins. He mentioned that the tree care and government mowing segments saw a decline in orders during the fourth quarter, which he attributed to a temporary pause in purchasing, citing an increase in quoting activity in the first quarter. He noted continued weakness in government mowing early in the year but expressed optimism about the segment's prospects as Congress works on the renewal or extension of the infrastructure investment act.
