Ingersoll Rand Stock Discussion

Insiders at Ingersoll Rand selling shares without corresponding buying could be a red flag. Despite profitability and profit growth, the low level of insider ownership may warrant caution.

Ingersoll Rand's appreciable rate of EPS growth and significant insider investment make it a potential investment opportunity. The company's fast EPS growth could indicate a business inflection point. However, investors need to determine whether the stock is undervalued.

Ingersoll Rand's acquisition of Friulair is a strategic move to boost growth across key markets and expand its air treatment business. The company anticipates over 30% Adjusted EBITDA margins by the third year through synergies and IRX deployment.

Insider sales suggest a lack of faith in the firm's valuation, yet substantial insider ownership and earnings growth should be noted. Careful analysis and caution are advised before investing.
