Dear HARDI members: In this edition we have a couple of perspectives on our 2H-25 inventory adjustment project. We see progress through October from the Wholesale Trade Report, and some encouraging signs for top-line demand improving next year. We need that encouragement because a couple of other indicators are pointing towards more of the recent flat demand. Thank you for reading our DDN.
