Allegion (NYSE:ALLE) Issues Earnings Results

Allegion (NYSE:ALLE) announced its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The scientific and technical instruments company reported $2.60 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $2.50 by $0.10, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $1.17 billion during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $1.14 billion. Allegion had a return on equity of 35.41% and a net margin of 15.36%. The company’s quarterly revenue was up 9.6% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same period in the previous year, the firm earned $2.30 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Allegion’s conference call:

• Allegion raised its 2026 outlook, increasing reported revenue growth guidance to 9.5%–10.5%, organic revenue growth to 5%–6%, and adjusted EPS to $9.05–$9.10, implying low-double-digit EPS growth.
• Third-quarter revenue rose 9.6% to approximately $1.2 billion, while adjusted EPS increased 13% to $2.60 and adjusted operating margin expanded 60 basis points to 24.7%; year-to-date available cash flow rose 11.2% to $539.4 million.
• The Americas delivered 9.1% organic growth, led by low-double-digit non-residential growth, healthy specification activity, and strong electronics demand. Management expects non-residential momentum to continue into 2027, although residential growth remains primarily price-driven.
• International organic revenue declined slightly as weak Western European demand, particularly in Germany, reduced volumes and pressured margins; management expects international markets to remain soft in 2027.
• Allegion completed its approximately $90 million acquisition of Overly Door Company, invested another $40 million in Ambient.ai, launched its connected-product Optimize app, and returned $166 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
