Management highlighted cost‑control actions, ongoing restructuring savings and plans for $650–$700 million of 2026 capital spending, as well as up to 20% price increases to offset expected mid‑single‑digit percentage cost inflation tied to Middle East–driven volatility in petrochemical, energy and logistics markets.
