Ingersoll Rand stock (ISIN US45687V1061) closed at USD 77.24 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026, down 2.49 percent from the prior close. The latest analyst update came from Zacks Research on October 6, 2026, when its Q2 2028 EPS forecast rose to USD 1.00 from USD 0.99, as MarketBeat reported.

Zacks raises the 2028 estimate

The Zacks update concerns a future quarterly estimate rather than a reported result. Its full-year 2026 consensus EPS stood at USD 3.39, while the Q2 2028 estimate moved by USD 0.01 to USD 1.00.

That revision comes against a stronger latest quarter. Ingersoll Rand reported Q2 2026 EPS of USD 0.86 against USD 0.83 consensus and revenue of USD 2.05 billion against USD 1.96 billion expected, according to MarketBeat on October 7, 2026. Revenue was 8.5 percent higher than in the year-earlier quarter.

Quarterly beat meets margin pressure

The Q2 figures published on July 30, 2026 show a clear earnings comparison, but the operating picture is not uniform. A report carried by Yahoo Finance said the companys organic revenue declined at a 1.4 percent average annual rate over the prior two years, while EPS grew at a 3.2 percent compound annual rate.

For investors, the contrast is material: the latest quarter beat estimates, while the longer operating comparison points to slower organic expansion. The valuation also leaves execution important, with the stock trading at a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 31.79 on October 7, 2026.

Consensus target stays above the close

MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy consensus from 8 analysts, including 5 Buy ratings and 3 Hold ratings, in its October 7, 2026 overview. The average target is USD 96.14, with a high of USD 109.00 and a low of USD 84.00, putting the average target 24.47 percent above the October 7 closing price.

The next earnings date shown for Ingersoll Rand is October 29, 2026. That date gives the forecast revision a concrete checkpoint, while the latest reported quarter supplies the most recent operating comparison.

Ingersoll Rand stock stays below its yearly high

Ingersoll Rand stock closed at USD 77.24 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026, 23.49 percent below its 52-week high of USD 100.96 and above its 52-week low of USD 68.07.
