Allegion (ALLE) Earnings Expected to Grow: Should You Buy?
Allegion (ALLE) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price. The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 23. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise. This security device maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.23 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +9.3%. Revenues are expected to be $1.11 billion, up 8.5% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.54% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction). The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant...

Allegion plc Earnings Missed Analyst Estimates: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting Now
Allegion plc (NYSE:ALLE) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 6.7% to US$137 in the week after its latest quarterly results. It looks like the results were a bit of a negative overall. While revenues of US$1.0b were in line with analyst predictions, statutory earnings were less than expected, missing estimates by 8.4% to hit US$1.59 per share. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. Readers will be glad to know we've aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their mind on Allegion after the latest results. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Allegion's twelve analysts is for revenues of US$4.38b in 2026. This reflects a modest 5.3% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to rise 9.1% to US$8.05. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$4.32b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$8.14 in 2026. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates. Check out our latest analysis for Allegion There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of US$168, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Allegion at US$189 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$150. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects. These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Allegion's past performance and to peers in the same industry. The period to the end of 2026 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with rev...

Allegion (ALLE) Q1 2026 Earnings Transcript
Image source: The Motley Fool. Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at 8 a.m. ET President and Chief Executive Officer — John Stone Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer — Michael Wagnes John Stone: Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us. The Allegion team has remained agile in a volatile environment and stayed focused on serving our customers alongside our strong channel partners. In Q1, we delivered high single-digit revenue growth, led by the Americas nonresidential business and contributions from acquisitions. In the Americas, performance was in line with our expectations we outlined back in February. In our International segment, top line growth was led by acquisitions, which are on track. However, our Q1 organic revenue growth and margins in International were negatively impacted by an ERP implementation in one of our legacy mechanical businesses. Production rates there have started to improve, and we expect to recover the Q1 shortfall over the remainder of the year. As you'll see on the next slide, Allegion remains committed to balanced, disciplined and consistent capital deployment. And finally, with respect to our outlook for the year, we are raising our reported revenue outlook to 6% to 8% to include the DCI acquisition, and we are affirming our outlook for organic revenue growth of 2% to 4% and adjusted earnings per share of $8.70 to $8.90. Please go to Slide 4. Taking a look at capital allocation for the first quarter, starting with our investments for organic growth. The latest example of this is our next-generation LCN Senior Swing series of auto operators for heavy-use doors across health care offices and other high-traffic environments. Easy to install and upkeep, these automatic door operators self-adjust in real-time to external pressures like wind, allowing smooth, safe and consistent operation while saving the building time, energy and maintenance calls. Turning to acquisitions. Earlier in March, we closed the acquisition of DCI, a West Coast-based manufacturer of holly metal doors and frames, specializing in custom design and quick ship capability. Historically, we've had to rely on our Cincinnati, Ohio, manufacturing facility to serve customers on the West Coast, which extended lead times and drove higher freight costs compared to local suppliers. DCI makes us far more competitive on the West Coast, helping the totality of our Ame...

Allegion Q1 Earnings Call Highlights
Q1 results: Revenue was "over $1 billion," up 9.7% year-over-year (organic +2.6%), but adjusted operating margin declined 150 basis points to 21.2% and adjusted EPS fell to $1.80 (-3.2%), with available cash flow roughly flat. Regional dynamics: Americas non-residential demand remained healthy while residential stayed soft; International reported revenue rose 21.5% driven by acquisitions and currency, but organic revenue fell 5.3% due to an ERP-related execution disruption in a legacy European mechanical business that management expects to recover over the year. Capital and guidance: Allegion closed the DCI acquisition, raised reported revenue outlook to 6–8% (affirming organic growth of 2–4% and adjusted EPS $8.70–$8.90), repurchased $40M, paid $47M in dividends, and authorized a new $500M share repurchase program. Interested in Allegion PLC? Here are five stocks we like better. The 5 Hottest CEO Stock Purchases So Far This Year Allegion (NYSE:ALLE) reported first-quarter 2026 results featuring nearly 10% revenue growth, while management highlighted solid demand in the Americas non-residential market and an execution-driven disruption in one international mechanical business tied to an ERP implementation. Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mike Wagnes said first-quarter revenue was “over $1 billion,” up 9.7% versus the prior year. Organic revenue increased 2.6%, which Wagnes said was “driven by price realization, partially offset by volume declines.” → Pipelines and Automation: 2 Energy Plays Built for Any Oil Price Adjusted operating margin was 21.2%, down 150 basis points year over year, with Wagnes citing “a combination of volume declines and mix.” He added that price and productivity were favorable by $5.3 million “net of inflation and investment,” but still represented a 40 basis point headwind to the margin rate in the quarter due to other factors. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.80, down $0.06, or 3.2%, from the prior year. Wagnes said EPS benefits from acquisitions were “more than offset by higher tax and interest and other in the quarter.” Available cash flow was $80.3 million, consistent with the prior year. → Homebuilder Earnings: D.R.

Moby
Allegion plc Q1 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Americas nonresidential growth was driven by price realization and healthy demand, while residential markets remained soft due to volume declines. International segment performance was significantly hampered by an ERP implementation in a legacy mechanical business, causing production delays and margin contraction. The acquisition of DCI enhances West Coast competitiveness by providing custom design and quick-ship capabilities, reducing lead times and freight costs compared to East Coast shipping. Management attributes the International margin decline primarily to operational inefficiencies from the ERP transition rather than a shift in underlying market demand. Electronics revenue continues to serve as a long-term growth driver, though growth moderated to mid-single digits compared to the prior year's double-digit performance. Capital deployment remains focused on a balanced approach, including the authorization of a new $500 million share repurchase program and strategic bolt-on M&A. Management expects to recover the Q1 International production shortfall over the remainder of the year, supported by existing order backlogs. Guidance assumes an incremental 1% COGS headwind from tariffs and fuel inflation, which the company plans to offset through price and cost actions. The 2026 revenue outlook was raised to 6% to 8% solely to reflect the inclusion of the DCI acquisition, while organic growth targets remain unchanged. Margin expansion is expected to be back-half weighted as the company laps prior-year foreign currency benefits and integrates lower-margin acquisitions. Management anticipates that electronics adoption rates will continue to outpace mechanical growth over the full fiscal year. The DCI acquisition is expected to be a 30-basis-point headwind to full-year margin rates due to its current low double-digit EBITDA profile. A $3 million prior-year benefit from the Mexican peso created a difficult year-over-year comparison for Americas operating margins in Q1. Trade policy volatility, including Section 232 and 301 changes, is cited as a primary driver of the anticipated 1% COGS inflationary headwind. Exposure to Middle East conflicts is characterized as negligible, with no notable demand impact observed from regional tensions.

Allegion (ALLE) Lags Q1 Earnings Estimates
Allegion (ALLE) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.8 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.88 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.86 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -4.13%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this security device maker would post earnings of $2.01 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.94, delivering a surprise of -3.48%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Allegion, which belongs to the Zacks Security and Safety Services industry, posted revenues of $1.03 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.61%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $941.9 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Allegion shares have lost about 6.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.8%. While Allegion has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Allegion was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy)...
