Ingersoll Rand (IR) News Today

Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE: IR) is under pressure as Zacks Research made several small downward revisions to near-term earnings forecasts. The changes suggest modestly softer expected earnings momentum, although longer-term estimates remain broadly stable and the firm’s current-year outlook is unchanged at the consensus level.

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks Research raised its FY2026 EPS estimate to $3.38 from $3.37, matching the current full-year consensus estimate. The firm also increased its FY2027 forecast to $3.65 from $3.64 and lifted Q3 2027 and Q4 2027 estimates to $0.97 and $1.07, respectively. Ingersoll Rand analyst estimates
• Neutral Sentiment: The longer-term FY2028 EPS forecast was set at $4.01, only slightly below the prior $4.03 estimate. Zacks’ projections remain above FY2026 levels, indicating continued expected earnings growth, but the revisions provide little meaningful change to the broader outlook. Ingersoll Rand analyst estimates
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks Research cut its EPS estimates for Q3 2026 to $0.86 from $0.88, Q4 2026 to $0.96 from $0.97, Q1 2027 to $0.75 from $0.76, and Q2 2027 to $0.86 from $0.88. It also reduced its Q1 2028 forecast to $0.86 from $0.87. These downward revisions to several upcoming quarters may weigh on sentiment, particularly because Ingersoll Rand trades at a relatively elevated valuation of about 33 times earnings.

Overall, the news is mildly negative for IR: near-term earnings expectations have been trimmed, while the FY2026 consensus remains intact and some 2027 estimates have edged higher.
