AI Analysis

As a Buffett/Graham investor, I see Carlisle as a decent industrial franchise in building envelope products—roofing and weatherproofing—with real cash generation. At the 2026-10-13 close of $328.85, FairStock calculates a P/E of 18.66, P/B of 8.07, FCF yield of 6.6%, and ROE of 39.18%. That ROE is impressive, and trailing free cash flow of $866.6M supports the 1.59% dividend. The balance sheet uses debt—D/E 1.79—but Altman Z 4.12 and Piotroski 7/9 suggest financial risk isn't flashing red. Growth is the puzzle. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue was $1.6B and net income $255.2M, versus fiscal Q2 2025, quarter ended June 30, 2025, revenue $1.4B and net income $255.8M. Diluted EPS rose to $6.30 from $5.88, but profit was flat. For FY2025, year ended December 31, 2025, revenue was $5.0B and net income $740.7M, down from FY2024 net income of $1.3B on $5.0B revenue. The Lynch category is STALWART, based on 18.3% annual profit growth over five years and 4.8% revenue growth, so the long record is steady even if recent profit has stalled. Valuation is not Graham-cheap: FairStock's Graham Number is $126.92, leaving a -159.10% margin of safety. ROCE of 10.81% is only moderate. I'd want profit and returns to reaccelerate before calling the price attractive; at 12.23 EV/EBITDA, the market is paying for continued quality.

In plain English: Carlisle makes roofing and weatherproofing products for buildings. The business looks financially strong, with good profits and cash flow, but its latest yearly profit fell and sales growth has been modest. At $328.85, the shares look expensive compared with the company's earnings and accounting value, even though the cash flow return is reasonable.
