Ingersoll-Rand Co is a re-constituted company that has been growing nicely over the last few years. Margins have expanded substantially and debt is at manageable levels. However, its revenue outlook for the year came in below expectations, causing the stock to take a hit after earnings were released. Despite being a stable investment opportunity with potential for bottom line expansion, top line growth is expected to be slow.
EPS had a nice beat on estimates of 69c coming in at 78c. Revenue did miss estimates of $1.7B coming in at $1.69B. IR has been growing nicely over the last few years and margins have also expanded substantially in recent periods. Debt is also at more manageble levels now with a net debt/EBITDA ratio at 0.7x. Revenue outlook for the year came in below expectations which caused the stock to take a bit of a hit after earnings were released. It is a stable name but with an expensive valuation at nearly 27x forward earnings. Debt is less of a concern now, but valuation is expensive for a slow-growth name. IR will likely be a stable investment opportunity that should continue to expand its bottom line, while top line growth will be slow. We think it is a good company, but not overly exciting.

An industrial company. They’ve grown their earnings 15% a year over the last 5 years, in a world where companies have not been spending on capital spending.
