Davidson, North Carolina-based Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR) provides various mission-critical air, gas, liquid, and solid flow creation technologies, services and solutions worldwide. With a market cap of $34.2 billion, it operates through Industrial Technologies and Services (IT&S) and Precision and Science Technologies (P&ST) segments.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks.” Ingersoll fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size, influence, and dominance in the industrial sector.
The stock touched its all-time high of $106.03 on Nov. 25, 2024 and is currently trading 21.5% below that peak. IR stock has observed a marginal 37 bps uptick over the past three months, significantly lagging behind the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 8.1% surge during the same time frame.

IR stock has underperformed the broader market over the longer term as well. The stock has dropped 8% on a YTD basis and 9% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming SPX’s 2.4% gains in 2025 and 12% returns over the past year.
To confirm the bearish trend and recent upturn, Ingersoll has traded consistently below its 200-day moving average since mid-December 2024 and above its 50-day moving average since early May.

Despite missing the Street’s earnings and topline projections, Ingersoll Rand’s stock prices observed a marginal uptick in the trading session following the release of its Q1 results on May 1. Driven by contributions from acquisitions, the company’s revenues for the quarter increased 2.8% year-over-year to $1.7 billion, missing the estimates by a small margin. Meanwhile, the company's adjusted net income dropped 8.3% year-over-year to $293.2 million, falling short of the Street’s expectations.
However, Ingersoll registered a solid growth in orders in both its segments. Its overall reported orders surged 10% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, which provided reassurance to investors.
IR stock has also underperformed its peer, Rockwell Automation, Inc.’s (ROK) 13.7% gains in 2025 and 27.4% surge over the past 52 weeks.
Among the 14 analysts covering the IR stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $92.46 suggests an 11.1% upside potential from current price levels.
