Oct. 1, 2024 – The AVP Pulse Index this month dropped 0.4% month-over-month, while increasing 3.5% year-over-year; and 14% over the past 36 months. The proprietary AVP Pulse Index – a joint effort between mergers and acquisition advisors Allen-Villere Partners and Rock Products – illustrates the health of the industry in one single trend line, using relevant data that is updated monthly or quarterly.
“Just as in the first quarter, strong showings in the Dodge Data Momentum Index and the Architectural Billings Index portend a positive outlook for the foreseeable future,” stated Pierre Villere of Allen-Villere Partners. “These forward-looking indices reflect expectations of an improved construction environment in the months and years ahead.”
