Key takeaways

Following two quarters of mostly negative sentiment, the Q4 2025 North American CFO Signals™ found finance chiefs in a much more buoyant mood. In this Dbriefs webcast, we’ll detail the responses to our latest survey and offer an analysis of what might be fueling the resurgence. Additionally, this quarter’s spotlight segment will explore CFO expectations and plans for 2026. We’ll discuss:
