AOS Earnings Call
Q4 2025
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call reflects a challenging year for A. O. Smith with declines in overall sales and earnings driven by lower water heater volumes and weakness in the China market. However, there are positive signs, including growth in the North America boiler segment, the Indian market, and substantial capital returned to shareholders. The company's sustainability goals and free cash flow generation are also positive. Despite these achievements, significant challenges remain, particularly in China and the North American water heater market.Read More>---
