Ingersoll Rand (IR)
Forward P/E is 20.57x against a peer median of 17.71x, a ratio of 1.16x, with trailing P/E 31.09x and PEG 2.9. The ratio is just above the 1.15 fair-band ceiling, growth is only modestly above the cluster median, and the PEG is well above 1.5, so no growth exception applies. Latest-quarter revenue grew +8.5% year over year (PRIMARY, EDGAR). Delivered demand check: the Industrial machinery & components group's median growth was +7.3% year over year — demand steady.
What would change this label: Move to FAIRLY PRICED if the forward P/E compresses to about 20.4x or below (1.15x the peer median) at unchanged estimates, or if revenue growth rises above 13% year over year for two quarters. Move further from fair value if revenue growth falls below 4% year over year while the forward multiple stays above 20.4x.
Ingersoll Rand makes air compressors and pumps used in factories and industry around the world. Its shares cost a little more than similar machinery companies, and its sales growth is only a little faster than theirs. The small extra growth does not quite pay for the extra cost, so the shares look overvalued.
Both lines start at 100 on 2020-09-01. Over the full window Ingersoll Rand returned +108.59% and the S&P 500 +118.28% (price returns; dividends not reinvested). Worst peak-to-trough fall for Ingersoll Rand: -36.6% (2024-11-25 to 2025-04-08). Source: Nasdaq official daily history.

Sales, profit and cash
Gross margin = gross profit divided by sales, from SEC filings.
Free cash flow = cash from operations minus spending on plant and equipment, both from the company’s SEC cash-flow statement. Gaps are quarters where that spending line is not separately tagged in the filings — shown as gaps, never estimated.

The last twelve reported quarters. Full 24-quarter history sits in the data pack behind this page. A dash means the figure is not tagged as a standalone quarter in the company’s SEC facts (the usual case is the fourth quarter, which many companies only report inside the full-year filing) — it is missing, not zero.
Earnings: getting better or worse?
Each box is one quarter’s earnings per share (EPS). Green means EPS was higher than the same quarter a year earlier; red means lower; a dash means the figure is not tagged in the filings.
Basis: GAAP diluted EPS from SEC company facts, compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

What we could not verify
- TTM GAAP diluted EPS could not be summed from company facts because at least one of the last four quarters (typically Q4) has no standalone tagged EPS; trailing P/E is therefore taken from the labelled secondary source in valuation_label.md.
- Own-history P/E (5-year median): not computed in the Phase 1 batch — UNVERIFIED
- Guidance record (each quarter scored against the guidance the company gave the quarter before) is not yet compiled for this company — it is a Phase 2 layer. The earnings strip below therefore uses reported EPS versus a year earlier, which is fully sourced from filings.
The IT factor — the most exciting thing the market is overlooking — is not assessed on an X-Ray page. It belongs to the Deep Dive (Phase 2), where it gets the evidence standard it needs. Leadership-era scoring (the six years split by chief executive) is likewise a Phase 2 layer; this page names the current chief executive only, from a sourced profile.
