Ingersoll Rand stock (US45687V1061) opened at USD 76.34 on September 8, 2026, with a 12-month range of USD 68.07 to USD 100.96 and a market value of USD 29.62 billion. MarketBeat says the share price was flat on the session, while the company traded at a 31.42 P/E and a beta of 1.15.

Quarterly beat still matters

The latest reported quarter showed revenue of USD 2.05 billion, up 8.5 percent year over year, while adjusted EPS came in at USD 0.86 versus USD 0.83 expected. MarketBeat also cited a net margin of 12.08 percent and return on equity of 12.90 percent for the same period.

For investors, the comparison is clear: USD 0.86 EPS beat estimates by USD 0.03, and revenue topped the USD 1.96 billion consensus by USD 0.09 billion.

Targets sit above price

MarketBeat compiled a consensus rating of Moderate Buy with an average price target of USD 96.14, above the reported share price of USD 76.34. Morgan Stanley set a USD 87.00 target on August 10, 2026, adding a second, lower anchor for expectations.

The implied gap to the consensus target is 26.0 percent, which leaves the stock below analyst expectations even after the quarter's beat. A first.

Hydrogen and air tools

Ingersoll Rand's industrial portfolio spans compressors, vacuum and fluid-management equipment for commercial and OEM customers, which keeps the revenue base tied to factory activity and maintenance demand. The latest quarter's USD 2.05 billion in sales shows that the cycle is still translating into cash generation.

Price stays in range

The stock's USD 76.34 opening price on September 8, 2026 sits closer to the 12-month low of USD 68.07 than to the 12-month high of USD 100.96, so the chart still leaves room between support and the analyst target. Market capitalization stood at USD 29.62 billion on the same snapshot.
