The US retailers' inventory-to-sales ratio for the third quarter of 2026 reached 1.27, a slight increase from 1.25 in the previous quarter, indicating that the retail sector is actively replenishing inventory. Reuters noted that this wave of inventory build-up is primarily driven by robust domestic demand and front-loading ahead of potential tariff variables, while overall end-consumer demand remains resilient.
