Here's my link:
https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 (October, November, and December),

ETA- I think Q4 being July 1 thru September 30 is the case for U.S. govt budget and fiscal stuff ...

The U.S. government uses a fiscal year (FY) ending September 30 (running Oct. 1 to Sept. 30) as its annual accounting period for budgeting, financial reporting, and revenue collection.

(yeah, that's the AI answer, one can check the links after the AI stuff)
