Atlanta – With an overall index score of 134.0, the December sales sentiment results trounced expectations by nearly 33 points. The most positive aspect of the December survey is the increase in overall sentiment by over 4 points, up to 138.3. “The latest results from ECIA’s Industry Pulse survey delivered highly encouraging results as we move into early 2026,” commented ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “The two prior surveys followed a disturbing pattern where survey participants reported strong confidence in the current month, followed by a complete collapse in sales expectations for the following month. The December Industry Pulse survey results break strongly from this plague of self-doubt and show renewed confidence as we enter the new year,” he concluded. |
