Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR) stock analysis

On Oct 30, 2026, our model rated Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR) WEAK BUY with 27% confidence at a price of $80.01. That means the signals lean positive, but they are mixed, so conviction is low.
Analysed price$80.01
Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 54, close to the neutral 50 line, so momentum is balanced.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price is above its 50-day moving average but still below the 200-day: a short-term recovery inside a longer-term downtrend.
Volume is 1.9x its 20-day average, so the latest move has real participation behind it.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: bearish structure intact, no fresh break.
The most recent swing high is $91.76 and the swing low is $68.05; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Price is sitting in a bearish order block, a zone where large sellers stepped in before, so upside may stall here.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 0.61, which looks cheap relative to its expected growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 12.1% and revenue growth of +8.5%.
In its latest quarter it earned $1.07 per share, which beat the $0.90 analysts expected, with revenue +8.5% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 2.0 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "buy", with an average price target of $94.10.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $80.01, a target of $84.94 (+6.2%) and a stop-loss at $75.13 (-6.1%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 1.0 to 1: the potential gain is not much bigger than the loss, so the setup is marginal.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Nov 9, 2026 whatever the price does.

Research notes
Ingersoll Rand’s bull case has strengthened: Q3 revenue rose 5.6%, orders increased 20.7% year over year, and management raised 2026 guidance to 5.5%–7.0% revenue growth and $3.58–$3.70 adjusted EPS. The bear case remains valuation and execution risk, with expected 2026 organic growth of only 2%–3.5%, potential margin pressure, and longer-term consensus revenue growth of roughly 4.3%. Major catalysts include the stronger order recovery, a planned U.S. pump-manufacturer acquisition, and a $2 billion increase in the share-repurchase authorization. Shares were around $80.01, essentially unchanged from the prior $80.01 view, so the latest fundamentals agree with the previous positive stance while price action has not yet added confirmation.
