Our Building Products Panel discussed a wide variety of topics. From a residential end market perspective, executives are expecting a flattish single-family new construction market in 2026, as well as a flattish home improvement backdrop. Non-residential channel activity is projected to remain a modest outperformer from a top-line perspective. We also discussed pricing power, input costs, margins, inventory levels and capital allocation priorities.
