For fiscal 2026, analysts forecast the security device maker to report adjusted EPS of $8.76, up 7.6% from $8.14 in fiscal 2025.

Over the past 52 weeks, Allegion has increased 11.4%, underperforming the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 13.7% return and the State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF's (XLI) 20.3% gain over the same period.

Shares of Allegion plunged 9.4% on Feb. 17 as investors reacted to a cautious outlook, especially expectations of continued weakness in U.S. residential markets after high single-digit declines, despite total Q4 2025 revenue growth of 9.3% to $1.03 billion. Although the company guided 2026 adjusted EPS at $8.70-$8.90 and projected total revenue growth of 5%–7%, the outlook pointed to modest organic growth of 2% - 4% and a heavier reliance on pricing over volume.

Concerns were further amplified by ongoing volume declines in residential and international segments, softer demand trends, and questions around capital allocation after about $630 million in M&A spending in 2025.

Analysts' consensus view on Allegion stock is cautiously optimistic, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 12 analysts covering the stock, three suggest a "Strong Buy" and nine give a "Hold." The average analyst price target is $180.50, indicating a potential upside of 26.3% from the current levels.
