English term or phrase: has troughed
We believe our core North American market has troughed and the story here continues to stem from new products and technologies, as well as expansion outside the U.S. Greater manufacturing productivity and aftermarket focus will also begin to drive growth in the coming quarters.
So, in sum, I think we are off to a very strong start this year.
Our key financial metrics continue to improve, and the volatility of our businesses is much reduced from that a few years ago.

to reach a low level, price, etc before going up again


Explanation:
I came across two different meanings of trough as a verb:

- to reach a low level, price, etc. before going up again
(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/trough)

- to eat, consume, or take greedily
(https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/trough)

I believe it should be the first meaning.

I read your first sentence as saying that they expect growth in their core US market due to their innovations. Withour innovations, there would be no growth since they've reached the bottom of the trough there.
