Ingersoll Rand reported fourth‑quarter 2025 revenue of $2.09 billion, up 10% year‑over‑year, and an adjusted earnings per share of $0.96, surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.90 by $0.06. The earnings beat reflects disciplined cost management and a favorable mix of high‑margin business, allowing the company to convert revenue growth into stronger profitability.
The Industrial Technologies and Services (ITS) segment generated $1.67 billion in revenue, a 10.7% increase from the same period last year, while the Precision and Science Technologies (P&ST) segment produced $419 million, up 8.1% YoY. ITS revenue growth was driven by robust demand in industrial automation and safety markets, whereas P&ST benefited from continued expansion in high‑value precision equipment and scientific instrumentation.
Overall adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 27.7%, a 30‑basis‑point decline from 28.0% in the prior year. ITS margin contracted 140 basis points to 28.9% due to tariff‑related cost pressures and ongoing investments in product development. In contrast, P&ST margin expanded 280 basis points to 30.4%, driven by the IRX execution framework that improved pricing power and operational efficiency.
Management reaffirmed 2026 guidance, projecting full‑year revenue of $7.84 billion to $7.99 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.45 to $3.57. The guidance reflects confidence in continued demand and the company’s ability to sustain margin expansion, though the EPS midpoint is slightly below some analyst expectations, indicating a cautious outlook on earnings growth.
The balance sheet remains strong, with $3.8 billion in liquidity and a net leverage ratio of 1.7x. In Q4 2025, the company returned $323 million to shareholders through $315 million in share repurchases and an $8 million dividend. For the full year, Ingersoll Rand generated $7.65 billion in revenue and $3.34 adjusted EPS, underscoring steady growth across the business.
Investors responded positively to the earnings beat and guidance, citing the company’s resilient demand profile and margin dynamics as key drivers of confidence.
"Against the backdrop of a complex global environment, we delivered strong growth, earnings, and free cash flow, reflecting the resilience and execution strength of our portfolio," said Chairman and CEO Vicente Reynal. "We are well positioned for continued operational momentum in the year ahead, driven by IRX, positive organic order growth in 2025, a deep and active M&A pipeline, and the ownership mindset of our global teams."
