ITW sees momentum in key segments and margin gains from enterprise initiatives even as certain markets soften, setting up a mixed but closely watched 2025.
Illinois Tool Works reported lackluster Q3 results, with modest revenue growth and ongoing demand softness across key segments. ITW's operating margins improved, especially in Auto OEM, but inventory buildup and tepid top-line growth raise concerns about future performance. Management narrowed full-year EPS guidance and expects continued demand softness, particularly in North America and Europe.
