▲(9.48% Upside)
Action:DowngradedDate:04/24/26
The score is driven primarily by solid financial quality (strong margins and cash conversion) but constrained by higher leverage and uneven revenue/FCF trends. Technicals are supportive with positive momentum, while valuation is a headwind given the higher P/E and modest yield. The earnings call adds moderate support via reaffirmed guidance and planned margin expansion, tempered by ongoing demand softness and cost inflation risks.
Positive Factors
Healthy margins and profitability
Carlisle sustains structurally strong gross and EBIT margins for a construction-linked business, reflecting differentiated system products and pricing power. Durable mid-30% gross and low-20% EBIT margins support cash generation and resilience versus commodity peer segments over the next 2–6 months.
Negative Factors
Higher leverage
Leverage has increased materially versus prior years, reducing balance-sheet flexibility and raising refinancing and interest-rate sensitivity. A more levered capital structure constrains the company's ability to absorb extended demand softness or fund large opportunistic investments without further balance-sheet action.

Earnings Call Date:Apr 23, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call conveyed a balanced message: management delivered positive execution on profitability (adjusted EPS growth, EBITDA margin expansion, COS-driven productivity), maintained a strong balance sheet, and implemented pricing and product initiatives to offset raw material inflation. However, meaningful near-term headwinds remain—Q1 revenue fell 4%, new construction demand is soft, input costs are meaningfully higher (MDI/TPO double-digit increases), CWT experienced margin pressure, and Q1 cash flow was affected by a large tax payment. Management reaffirmed full-year guidance and outlined a path for margin recovery, but uncertainty from weather, interest rates, and geopolitical risks keeps near-term visibility limited.Positive Updates
Adjusted EPS and Margin Expansion
Adjusted EPS of $3.63, up 1% year over year; adjusted EBITDA of $235 million with adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.3%, a 50 basis point improvement versus prior year.
Negative Updates
Revenue Decline in Q1
Consolidated revenue of $1.1 billion, down 4% year over year; CCM revenue down 5% to $758 million and CWT revenue down 1% to $294 million.

Company Guidance
Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance calling for consolidated revenue growth in the low single digits (now aiming at the higher end, roughly 3%, driven by pricing), about 50 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and double‑digit adjusted EPS growth; segment guidance calls for CCM revenue up low single digits (CCM margin expansion ~50 bps with Q2 EBITDA margin approaching ~31%, slightly above 31% in Q3 and ~28% in Q4) and CWT revenue up low single digits with at least 100 basis points of year‑over‑year margin improvement (CWT roughly ~19% in Q2 and ~22% in Q3), assuming price‑cost neutrality as recent ~5–8% price increases offset an implied high‑single‑digit raw material inflation expectation; balance‑sheet and cash metrics supporting the plan include $771M cash, $1.0B available on the revolver, net debt/EBITDA of 1.7x (target 1–2x), Q1 capex $28M, Q1 free cash flow used $73M (including a $125M tax payment), Q1 returns of $296M (share repurchases $250M, dividends $46M) while maintaining a $1.0B 2026 repurchase target, and longer‑term Vision 2030 targets of $40 adjusted EPS and 25%+ ROIC.Carlisle Companies Financial Statement Overview
