Christopher Snyder has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both positive and cautious elements in Allegion’s financial performance and outlook. The company reported a higher-than-expected EPS for the fourth quarter, largely attributed to a favorable tax rate, though operating profit fell slightly below expectations. The organic growth in the Americas exceeded consensus estimates, which demonstrates strength in this segment.
However, while the 2025 guidance was more optimistic than anticipated, it still presents some potential risks. The guidance suggests only modest organic growth and a slight operating margin expansion, which could limit significant upside potential. Consequently, Snyder’s Hold rating reflects a balanced view, acknowledging Allegion’s strengths while being mindful of the constraints and uncertainties in its growth trajectory.

Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 85 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of ALLE in relation to earlier this year.
