MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Ingersoll Rand
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Ingersoll Rand Inc.:

  • Ingersoll Rand Inc. recently reported strong financial results for the quarter ended July 30, 2026, beating consensus estimates with earnings per share of $0.86 compared to the expected $0.83, while also exceeding revenue forecasts with $2.05 billion in sales against a consensus of $1.96 billion, demonstrating robust operational performance and demand for its industrial products.
  • The company has received a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" from eight brokerages, with a consensus price target of $96.14, which represents significant upside potential from the current stock price of $76.34, indicating that analysts believe the stock is undervalued relative to its fundamental worth.
  • Institutional investor confidence is high, with 95.27% of the stock owned by hedge funds and other institutional investors, and recent 13F filings show new positions being established by major firms such as Nykredit A S, which purchased 122,902 shares valued at approximately $10.08 million during the second quarter.
  • The company maintains a healthy balance sheet with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.40 and a current ratio of 1.62, suggesting strong liquidity and financial stability that can support ongoing operations and potential future growth initiatives without excessive financial risk.
  • Ingersoll Rand Inc. has set its FY 2026 guidance at $3.570 EPS, which is higher than the current analyst consensus estimate of $3.39 EPS, indicating that management is confident in the company's ability to deliver strong earnings growth throughout the fiscal year.

Ingersoll Rand
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Ingersoll Rand Inc. for these reasons:

  • The stock is trading at a P/E ratio of 31.42, which is relatively high compared to many industrial peers, suggesting that the current price of $76.34 may already reflect optimistic growth expectations and leaving little room for error if future earnings disappoint.
  • Recent insider activity has been predominantly negative, with multiple executives and directors, including CFO Vikram Kini and CAO Michael J Scheske, selling significant numbers of shares in early 2026, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term upside potential.
  • The company's dividend yield is only 0.11%, which is very low and may not be attractive to income-focused investors seeking regular cash flow, especially when compared to other industrial stocks that offer more substantial dividend payouts.
  • Short interest has been increasing, with shares shorted rising to 15,874,517 as of August 14, 2026, representing a 7.25% month-over-month increase, indicating that some market participants are betting against the stock's price appreciation.
  • The stock has experienced volatility, with a 52-week low of $68.07 and a 52-week high of $100.96, and recent price action shows it opened at $76.34 on Friday, suggesting that the stock may be susceptible to significant price swings and market sentiment changes.
