Operator Signal: MIXED

Avery Dennison is holding steady in a tough environment but organic sales were flat. Materials Group is seeing deflation-related price reductions eating into volumes. Solutions Group is the bright spot with Intelligent Labels growing mid-single digits and Vestcom/Embelex both up double digits.

Founder Implication

If you're selling into retail or supply chain digitization, the RFID/intelligent labels wave is real and accelerating — Avery's Solutions Group growth confirms enterprise buyers are actively spending here even as broader materials demand softens.
