DAVIDSON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- #MakingLifeBetter--The Board of Directors of Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE: IR), a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and life science and industrial solutions, declared today a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 (two cents) per share of common stock payable on September 3, 2026, to stockholders of record on August 13, 2026.About Ingersoll Rand Inc.Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE:IR), driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and ownership mindset, is dedicated to Making Life.

Looking for a stock that has been consistently beating earnings estimates and might be well positioned to keep the streak alive in its next quarterly report? Ingersoll Rand (IR - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Manufacturing - General Industrial industry, could be a great candidate to consider.

This maker of flow control and compression equipment has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 4.77%.

For the most recent quarter, Ingersoll was expected to post earnings of $0.74 per share, but it reported $0.77 per share instead, representing a surprise of 4.05%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.91 per share, while it actually produced $0.96 per share, a surprise of 5.49%.

Price and EPS Surprise

Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for Ingersoll lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.

Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Ingersoll currently has an Earnings ESP of +0.61%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on July 30, 2026.

When the Earnings ESP comes up negative, investors should note that this will reduce the predictive power of the metric. But, a negative value is not indicative of a stock's earnings miss.

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.

Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Building on the success of Iris in multi‑vendor unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) observability, IR has embedded Iris directly into the Prognosis Platform for HPE Nonstop. This allows IT teams, business application stakeholders and more to ask questions in natural language and receive immediate, context‑rich answers about the health, performance and capacity of their Nonstop systems.

"Nonstop powers some of the world's most critical transactions, but the data that keeps these environments running has traditionally been locked up in specialist tools and expertise," said Ian Lowe, CEO at IR.

"With Iris for Nonstop, we're providing AI powered intelligence direct to the IT function. Iris understands Nonstop, understands context unique to each clients environment, and can turn complex telemetry into actionable insight in seconds."

AI‑powered observability for always‑on Nonstop environments

Iris for Nonstop builds on this foundation by adding a conversational AI layer that:

Answers complex questions in plain language – Operators can ask questions such as "Is CPU usage normal for this time period?" or "Can you show me the network traffic trends over the past 2 weeks?", and Iris will respond with explanations, context and recommended next steps.Accelerates incident resolution – By synthesizing Prognosis' real‑time telemetry into guided insights, Iris helps teams identify root causes faster, reducing mean time to resolution in high‑stakes Nonstop environments.Democratizes Nonstop expertise – Iris makes Nonstop performance and capacity data accessible to broader IT, business and executive stakeholders, with easy‑to‑consume natural‑language summaries and reports.Supports proactive capacity and batch planning – By leveraging Prognosis Infrastructure, Business Insight and Batch Manager capabilities, Iris can surface trends in capacity, usage patterns and batch workloads, helping teams plan ahead before issues impact production.Unified intelligence layer for hybrid Nonstop, from core to edge

As Nonstop clients adopt virtual Nonstop, cloud deployments and hybrid infrastructures spanning core and edge, the complexity of managing performance and capacity continues to grow. The combination of Prognosis Server on Nonstop, Prognosis Edge, and now Iris for Nonstop gives organizations a unified intelligence layer over their distributed, mission‑critical environments.

"Our clients are running Nonstop everywhere – in data centers, in virtualized environments and at the edge," said Ian Lowe. "By embedding Iris directly into our Infrastructure solutions, we're giving our clients an AI assistant that understands their topology, their workloads and their SLAs, wherever Nonstop is deployed."

Ingersoll Rand (IR - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 28, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis maker of flow control and compression equipment is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.74 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +2.8%.

Revenues are expected to be $1.83 billion, up 6.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.6% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Ingersoll?For Ingersoll, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -1.02%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Ingersoll will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Ingersoll would post earnings of $0.91 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.96, delivering a surprise of +5.49%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Ingersoll doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsCrane (CR - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Manufacturing - General Industrial industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $1.44 for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +3.6%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $679.19 million, up 21.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Crane has been revised 1.4% up to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of +1.78%, reflecting a higher Most Accurate Estimate.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that Crane will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Key Takeaways IR is set to report Q1 2026 results with revenues seen up 4.6% and EPS rising 2.4% year over year.Industrial Technologies & Services growth is driven by strong orders in compressors, vacuums and blowers.Margins may dip on higher costs, FX headwinds and rising SG&A despite acquisition-driven growth. Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2026 results on April 28, after market close.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Ingersoll Rand’s first-quarter earnings has remained steady in the past 30 days. The company has a decent earnings surprise history, having outperformed the consensus estimate once in the preceding four quarters, matching on two occasions and missing once, the average surprise being 1%.

The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.83 billion, indicating growth of 6.4% from the prior-year quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at 74 cents per share, indicating a 2.8% increase from the year-ago quarter’s number.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for IR this earnings season.

Factors to Note Ahead of IR’s ResultsIR’s Industrial Technologies & Services (IT&S) segment is anticipated to have performed well in the first quarter, driven by higher orders across its product portfolio of industrial vacuums, blowers and compressors. We anticipate the segment’s revenues to increase 6.2% year over year to $1.44 billion.

The Precision and Science Technologies segment’s results are expected to benefit from solid momentum in the life sciences business, driven by growth in fluid handling product orders within the legacy Gardner Denver Medical platform. Strength in the precision technologies business and an increase in demand for biopharma solutions are also expected to augment its results. We expect the segment’s revenues to increase 3.6% year over year to $378.6 million.

Synergistic gains from the acquisitions made by Ingersoll Rand are expected to have boosted its quarterly revenues. In November 2025, it acquired Transvac Systems Ltd., which enhanced IR’s portfolio of engineered solutions with advanced ejector and hybrid systems within the Industrial Technologies and Services segment. In August 2025, the company acquired Dave Barry Plastics, which boosted its life science portfolio. In June 2025, it acquired Lead Fluid (Baoding) Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd (Lead Fluid), which strengthened its life science business in China.

Also, in April 2025, Ingersoll Rand completed the acquisition of G & D Chillers, Inc. (G&D) and Advanced Gas Technologies Inc. (“AGT”). The acquisitions expanded the company’s air treatment portfolio.

Despite the positives, rising costs and expenses are likely to have weighed on IR’s performance. Rising selling and administrative expenses are expected to have dented the company’s margins and profitability. For the quarter under review, we anticipate Ingersoll Rand’s adjusted EBITDA margin to be 44.6%, indicating a decline of 50 basis points on a year-over-year basis.

The company has considerable exposure to overseas markets. Given its substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have marred its profitability.

Earnings WhispersOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for IR this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here, as elaborated below.

Earnings ESP: IR has an Earnings ESP of -0.23% as the Most Accurate Estimate is pegged at 73 cents per share, which is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 74 cents. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Zacks Rank: IR presently carries a Zacks Rank of 3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Stocks to ConsiderHere are some companies, which according to our model, have the right combination of elements to beat on earnings in this reporting cycle.

Kennametal Inc. (KMT - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +5.88% and a Zacks Rank of 1 at present. The company is slated to release third-quarter fiscal 2026 (ended March 2026) results on May 6.

Kennametal’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, while missing the mark in one, the average surprise being 35.4%.

Stanley Black & Decker (SWK - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +5.38% and a Zacks Rank of 3 at present. The company is scheduled to release first-quarter 2026 results on April 29.

Stanley Black & Decker’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average surprise being 56.4%.

Illinois Tool Works (ITW - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +0.30% and a Zacks Rank of 3 at present. The company is slated to release first-quarter 2026 results on April 30.

Illinois Tool’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 2.1%.

Ingersoll Rand (IR - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.77 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.74 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.72 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +4.76%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of flow control and compression equipment would post earnings of $0.91 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.96, delivering a surprise of +5.49%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Ingersoll, which belongs to the Zacks Manufacturing - General Industrial industry, posted revenues of $1.85 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.15%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.72 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Ingersoll shares have added about 6.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.8%.

What's Next for Ingersoll?While Ingersoll has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Ingersoll was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
