Lennox posts 10% revenue growth but cuts FY2026 adjusted EPS outlook

Lennox International reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.6 billion, up 10% year‑over‑year. Adjusted earnings per share fell 7% to $6.84, and the company lowered its full‑year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $21.00‑$21.50, down from $23.00‑$24.00. CEO Alok Maskara said competitive pressure and inflation drove the margin decline.

The reduced EPS guidance signals lower earnings expectations for the year, which analysts noted by cutting price targets and contributed to a post‑announcement share decline of about 5%.
