Fourth-quarter U.S. GDP up just 1.4%, badly missing estimate; inflation firms at 3%

February 20, 2026--Gross domestic produce rose at an annualized rate of just 1.4%, according to the Commerce Department, well below the Dow Jones estimate for a 2.5% gain.
The department estimated that the government shutdown, which ran through the first half of the quarter, probably took about 1 percentage point off economic growth.

At the same time, inflation held firm in December, according to a gauge most closely watched by Fed officials that increased 3% from a year ago.

U.S. growth slowed more than expected near the end of 2025 as the government shutdown impacted spending and investment, while a key inflation metric showed high prices are still a factor for the economy, according to data released Friday.

Gross domestic product rose at an annualized rate of just 1.4%, according to the Commerce Department, well below the Dow Jones estimate for a 2.5% gain.
