Quarterly revenue beats expectations

In the second quarter of 2026, Ingersoll Rand generated USD 2.05 billion in revenue, compared with a USD 1.96 billion consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat. Revenue increased 8.50 percent from USD 1.89 billion in the second quarter of 2025, while reported earnings per share reached USD 0.86 against a USD 0.83 estimate.

The comparison is useful because the company delivered growth and an earnings beat at the same time. The latest finance statement shows consolidated net income of USD 258.0 million and a net profit margin of 13.00 percent for the second quarter of 2026.

Guidance points to a stronger second half

Ingersoll Rand raised its full-year 2026 revenue growth outlook to 4.50-6.50 percent and maintained adjusted earnings per share guidance of USD 3.45-3.57, according to the company's second-quarter call transcript carried by Fortune. Management also reported adjusted EBITDA of USD 520.0 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.40 percent, down 160 basis points year over year.

The margin issue gives the guidance a clear condition: volume and productivity must offset pricing pressure. The company said second-quarter free cash flow was USD 269.0 million, up 28.00 percent year over year, while July orders showed low-double-digit to mid-teens organic growth.
