To provide context to the above-mentioned investment and spending results, it is crucial to observe the performance of capital spending-related sectors in the U.S. economy. For example, the Construction & Mining Machinery Industry has shown an advance of 1.59%, while the Industrial Machinery and Components Industry experienced a deterioration of -12.96% in revenue. It is important to note that these results encompass all companies within these respective industries, not just Broadridge’s corporate clients.
