Read MoreHide Full Article

Lennox International, Inc. (LII - Free Report) offers premium and innovative climate control products in the global ventilation, heating, refrigeration and air conditioning markets. Residential Heating & Cooking, Commercial Heating & Cooking and Refrigeration are the three major business segments of the company. The company’s innovation-based business growth strategy helps it strengthen its product portfolio and makes its operations more cost effective.

However, certain industry-specific issues such as appreciating U.S. dollar and extensive business rivalry might partially offset the aforesaid positives and thus dampen LII's earnings.

In the last four trailing quarters, LII reported better-than-expected results in three out of four trailing quarters, while lagged behind in one. Average earnings surprise is a positive 3.14%.

Currently, LII has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), but that could definitely change after the release of its upcoming earnings report. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
