The Dallas Fed Manufacturing Business Index for the United States moved back into positive territory in February 2026, signaling a marginal return to expansion for the region’s factory activity. The index rose to 0.2 in February from -1.2 in January 2026.

The latest reading, updated on 23 February 2026, suggests that conditions in the Texas manufacturing sector have stabilized after contracting at the start of the year. While the improvement is modest, the shift above zero points to a tentative rebound in business activity and sentiment among manufacturers in the Dallas Federal Reserve district.

The move from negative to slightly positive territory will be closely watched by investors and analysts as an early indicator of regional industrial momentum and potential implications for broader U.S. manufacturing trends in the first quarter of 2026.
