Factors to Note

Solid demand and higher orders within the Industrial Technologies & Services segment are expected to drive Ingersoll Rand’s third-quarter results. Strong orders across the product portfolio of compressors, vacuum and blowers, and power tools and lifting are expected to result in higher revenues for the segment.

The acquisitions of Howden Roots (August 2023) and SPX FLOW’s Air Treatment business (January 2023) are expected to boost revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. We expect the Industrial Technologies & Services segment revenues to increase 10.8% year over year for the third quarter.

Pricing actions and contributions from acquisitions are key growth drivers for the Precision & Science Technologies segment. The October 2022 acquisition of Dosatron International expanded IR’s digital technology portfolio. The September 2022 acquisition of Westwood Technical Limited expanded the Precision & Science Technologies segment’s IIoT offerings with Westwood Technical’s Aircom product line. We expect the segment’s revenues to jump 11.3% year over year in the third quarter.

However, the escalating cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses may weigh on Ingersoll Rand’s bottom-line results. Given the company’s substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds may affect the top-line results.
