Allegion

Allegion makes locks, door hardware and access control products for buildings and homes. Its brands include Schlage, Von Duprin and LCN in the US and Interflex and CISA in Europe. It sells mechanical locks, exit devices, door closers, steel doors and frames, and electronic locks that connect to access control software. Most customers are schools, hospitals, offices, government buildings and home owners, and distributors and installers buy most of its products.

It reports two segments: Allegion Americas and Allegion International. In Q3 2026, the Americas gave $942.4 million of the $1,172.6 million of revenue. Allegion makes money from the margin on these products, and replacement and renovation of existing buildings give a large part of its demand. It also buys small companies to add products, such as Door Components in March 2026 and Overly Door Company in October 2026.

Allegion trades at a discount because investors doubt that it can grow margins in a slow construction market. Barclays said in April 2026 that margins were flat or down for four quarters in a row. In Q1 2026, the adjusted operating margin fell to 21.2% from 22.7%, and organic growth came from higher prices while volumes fell. Europe is weak too: International organic revenue fell 5.3% in Q1 2026, 1.2% in Q2 2026 and 0.2% in Q3 2026, with low demand in Germany.

Tariffs add a cost risk, because Allegion buys about 20% to 25% of its cost of goods from Mexico. For the gap to close, the adjusted operating margin must keep growing from a year earlier, as it did in Q2 2026 (24.2% against 23.7%) and Q3 2026 (24.7% against 24.1%). Americas organic growth must keep coming from volume as well as price, as it did in non-residential in Q3 2026, and International organic revenue must return to growth. Allegion must also reach its raised 2026 guidance of $9.05 to $9.10 of adjusted EPS.

The Q3 2026 report on October 22, 2026 passed the first test. The next test is the Q4 2026 report and the 2027 guidance, expected in early 2027. If margins keep growing, the gap can close over the next two to four quarters. The main risk is a fall in US non-residential construction that cuts volumes.

Every filing on SEC EDGAR (CIK 1579241)

• Demand depends on construction and renovation of schools, hospitals, offices and homes. Higher interest rates and lower public budgets can delay projects and cut volumes. In Q1 2026, organic growth came from higher prices while volumes fell.
• Allegion buys about 20% to 25% of its cost of goods from Mexico and 5% to 10% from other countries outside the US and China. New US tariffs raise costs. Allegion offset tariff costs with price increases through June 2026, but more price increases can cut demand.
• Europe is weak. International organic revenue fell 5.3% in Q1 2026, 1.2% in Q2 2026 and 0.2% in Q3 2026, with low demand in Germany. The International adjusted operating margin fell to 13.9% in Q3 2026 from 14.3% a year earlier. An ERP system change also cut volumes at a mechanical business in Q1 2026.
• Allegion grows partly by buying companies, such as Door Components and Overly Door Company in 2026. A bad purchase or a high price can lower returns on capital.
• Electronic locks and access control software bring new competitors, such as technology companies, into Allegion's market. If Allegion loses share in electronic products, its growth can slow.

At September 30, 2026, Allegion had $388.1 million of cash and $2,032.0 million of debt, net of $9.2 million of discounts and issuance costs. The debt is $1.8 billion of senior notes and $240.9 million drawn on its revolving credit facility. Read more
