Analyst coverage meets stronger guidance
The company entered the latest coverage cycle after a second-quarter performance that exceeded consensus. In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted earnings per share reached USD 0.86 against USD 0.83 expected, while revenue totaled USD 2.05 billion and increased 8.50 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to Fortune in the July 31, 2026 earnings-call transcript.
Management also raised fiscal 2026 revenue growth guidance to 4.50-6.50 percent. Adjusted earnings per share guidance remains USD 3.45-3.57, and adjusted EBITDA guidance stands at USD 2.13-2.19 billion, according to Fortune.
Margins and acquisitions shape the setup
The operating picture is mixed beneath the revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA reached USD 520 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 2.00 percent year over year, but the adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 25.40 percent from 27.00 percent. China pricing pressure, technology investment and higher corporate costs weighed on profitability, while management expects productivity and pricing actions to support a second-half margin recovery.
Ingersoll Rand also closed the acquisition of Lone Star Blower and signed an agreement to acquire Fai Filtri during the second-quarter period. The two transactions are expected to add annual revenue of USD 50 million and USD 30 million, respectively, according to Fortune.
