Factors to Note

Strengthening demand across end markets like healthcare and commercial office markets is likely to have aided Allegion’s performance in the second quarter. Effective pricing actions are also expected to have benefited performance. Allegion Americas segment is likely to have benefited from gains across non-residential businesses.

However, labor shortages, and material and freight-related cost inflation are expected to have hurt ALLE’s performance. Supply chain woes, particularly those associated with shortages of electronic chips and other parts, might have affected the top-line performance. The company’s bottom line is likely to reflect high cost of sales and selling; and administrative expenses.

Given Allegion’s expansion into international markets, a stronger U.S. dollar might have affected its overseas business performance in the quarter.
