Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates Allegion as a

hold

. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including weak operating cash flow and generally higher debt management risk.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • Compared to other companies in the Building Products industry and the overall market, ALLEGION PLC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
  • 46.33% is the gross profit margin for ALLEGION PLC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 11.48% is above that of the industry average.
  • ALLEGION PLC has improved earnings per share by 27.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ALLEGION PLC reported lower earnings of $1.59 versus $1.93 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.35 versus $1.59).
  • The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 20.30 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio is weak, ALLE's quick ratio is somewhat strong at 1.11, demonstrating the ability to handle short-term liquidity needs.
  • Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$0.80 million or 118.18% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
