AMETEK's demand can exhibit some seasonal patterns, particularly in its stock performance, with the period from late October to early May showing seasonal strength. Recent demand trends have been mixed, with strong demand in the aerospace and defense sectors, but a slowdown in demand in certain segments due to "inventory normalization" within its OEM customer base and customers delaying project expenses because of high borrowing costs and persistent inflation.
