Allegion raises 2026 guidance to 9.5%-10.5% revenue growth after $1.17B third-quarter sales

Allegion raised its full-year 2026 guidance after reporting third-quarter sales of $1,172.6 million and net income of $220.9 million. Basic earnings per share from continuing operations were $2.60. The security products maker now expects reported revenue growth of 9.5% to 10.5% and earnings per share of $8.35 to $8.40. Strong organic performance in its Americas non-residential security business drove the results. International remains the weak spot, where organic softness and margin pressure have not fully eased. Analysts assume 5.4% yearly revenue growth, reaching $5.1 billion by 2029.
