Allegion Beats 2Q Earnings & Revenue

ALLE

Allegion plc (ALLE - Free Report) is a leading global provider of security products and solutions for business and domestic purposes. The company offers an extensive portfolio of mechanical and electronic security products and boasts a diverse range of market-leading brands, including CISA, Interflex, aptiQ, LCN, Schlage and Von Duprin.

Allegion commands a strong position in the North American security market. The company primarily relies on the commercial and residential construction and remodeling space which have been picking up momentum of late, especially in the U.S. This is driving demand for Allegion’s products. The slowing emerging market hurt Allegion as it has a considerable presence in that region. Moreover, Eurozone economy is still sluggish which can hurt company’s interest.

Investors should also note that there have been no significant earnings estimate revisions for ALLE. However, ALLE has an impressive earnings history. The company has posted positive earnings surprise in two of the past four quarters, with an average positive surprise of 8.77%.   

 

Currently, ALLE has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), but that could definitely change following Allegion’ earnings report which was just released. We have highlighted some of the key stats from this just-revealed announcement below:

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
