Why This Question Matters

The 140bps ROS margin compression from three acquisitions in 12 months is the primary near-term concern. Recovery to above 20% by year-end validates the 'invest now, harvest later' thesis. Failure to recover would suggest the acquisitions are structurally margin-dilutive, undermining the disciplined capital deployment signal.

Resolves YES if NVT reports full-year FY2026 adjusted return on sales (operating margin) above 20%. Resolves NO if adjusted ROS is 20% or below.

Resolution Source

NVT FY2026 earnings release or 10-K filing

Source Trigger

140bps ROS margin compression from 3 acquisitions in 12 months; recovery guided for FY2026+
