Ingersoll Rand
Ingersoll Rand's revenue rose 5.8% to $7.7 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 15.0%, down from 18.0% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $1.2 billion, down 2.2%. It paid out $1.0 billion in dividends and buybacks, 86% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 1.5%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What Ingersoll Rand does
Ingersoll Rand makes industrial equipment that moves and controls air, gas, powder and liquid. Its products include air and gas compressors, vacuum pumps, blowers, fluid transfer equipment, power tools, lifting equipment, and pumps and liquid handling systems. It sells them under more than 90 brands, including Ingersoll Rand and Gardner Denver. Customers include manufacturers and companies in life sciences, food and beverage, clean energy, infrastructure and water treatment.
It has two segments. Industrial Technologies and Services sells compression, vacuum, blower and related equipment. Precision and Science Technologies sells specialized equipment for precision dosing, liquid handling and powder handling, for both industrial and life science customers. Equipment wears out and needs parts and service, so the company also sells replacement parts, consumables and repair services. This aftermarket business was 36.5% of its revenue in 2025.
The company has sales in all major regions. It names Atlas Copco, Flowserve, IDEX, Dover, Graco and Thermo Fisher Scientific among its competitors. It had over 60 key factories and over 50 service and repair centers, and over 21,000 employees at the end of 2025.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Weakness in the global economy and in the industries that buy its equipment.
- More than half of its sales and operations are outside the United States, with political and currency risks.
- Tariff changes and higher raw material costs, or reliance on certain suppliers.
- Product liability and warranty claims, or recalls, because its equipment is used in critical processes.
- Acquisitions that may be hard to integrate or may not work out as planned.

Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2017 to 2025, earnings per share grew 39.7% a year and net income 54.0% a year, as new shares raised the share count by 113% and diluted each share's earnings.

Valuation
Two ways to value Ingersoll Rand yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Ingersoll Rand's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Ingersoll Rand's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $1.2B, net cash of −$3.5B at December 31, 2025 and 401 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Ingersoll Rand: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 8.9% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 9% for a business of moderate risk (Industrial Machinery & Supplies & Components); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Ingersoll Rand's earnings per share of $2.43 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 26.7×, the middle of Ingersoll Rand's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (the Industrials median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 10%, 9% and 8%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
