Negative

The automotive market experienced a decline, with sales down 13% year over year due to lower customer build rates and inventory destocking.

Power semiconductor shipments remain sluggish, impacted by slow demand in automotive and industrial applications.
The Precision Optics segment saw a 13% decline in value-added sales compared to the prior year, driven by market weakness and unfavorable product mix.
