Carlisle Companies Set to Report Q4 Earnings Amid Flat Revenue Expectations
Carlisle Companies (NYSE: CSL), a leading provider of building envelope solutions, will announce its fourth-quarter financial results after the closing bell on Tuesday. The report comes amid a mixed backdrop for the construction materials sector, with some peers already posting modest gains.
In the previous quarter, Carlisle outperformed expectations, reporting revenue of $1.35 billion—a 1.2% beat versus analyst forecasts—while holding year-over-year sales flat. The company also exceeded estimates for adjusted operating income and organic revenue.
For the current quarter, consensus estimates point to revenue of approximately $1.11 billion, essentially unchanged from the same period last year. Adjusted earnings are projected at $3.58 per share. Notably, analysts have held their estimates steady over the past month, signaling expectations of business-as-usual performance. Over the last two years, however, Carlisle has fallen short of revenue forecasts in three quarters.
Recent results from industry counterparts may offer clues to broader sector trends. Sherwin-Williams posted a 5.6% year-over-year revenue increase, slightly ahead of expectations, while AZZ reported a 5.5% rise, also beating estimates. Both saw their share prices climb post-announcement.
Investor sentiment in the building products segment has been generally upbeat, with sector stocks rising an average of 5.1% over the past month. Carlisle’s share price has remained stable over the same period. The average analyst price target stands at $371.25, above the current trading price near $336.75.

“Carlisle’s consistency in a volatile materials market is commendable. Flat revenue isn’t exciting, but execution matters—and they’ve delivered on profitability,” says Linda Chen, portfolio manager at Horizon Advisors.
“Another ‘flat’ quarter? This feels like stagnation. While peers grow, Carlisle is treading water. Investors deserve more than just meeting low expectations,” argues Marcus Reed, independent market analyst and vocal critic of the company’s growth strategy.
“The stock’s discount to price target suggests upside if they simply hit estimates. In today’s market, reliability has value,” notes Rebecca Shaw, equity research associate at Stirling Capital.
