Lennox International reports Q3 2026 results and cuts FY26 EPS guidance

Lennox International Inc. posted third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.6 billion, up 10% year‑over‑year, while adjusted earnings per share fell 7% to $6.84. The company lowered its full‑year 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $21.00‑$21.50, down from $23.00‑$24.00, and trimmed its revenue growth guidance to about 6%. CEO Alok Maskara said competitive pressure and inflation were eroding margins, prompting a recovery plan focused on pricing, productivity and portfolio changes.

The EPS guidance cut signals lower profitability expectations for the year, which drove the stock to fall 5%‑8% in trading after the release. Investors will need to adjust earnings models and may reassess valuation based on the reduced outlook.
