Lennox's first quarter of 2026 marked a return to top-line growth after two consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue declines, with consolidated revenue reaching $1.1 billion, up 6%. The headline number, however, masks a tale of two segments: Building Climate Solutions delivered a standout quarter with organic sales up 26% and segment margins expanding 300 basis points, while Home Comfort Solutions continued to struggle, posting a 12% organic revenue decline as weakness in new home construction and lingering channel dynamics weighed on results. Adjusted EPS came in at $3.35, ahead of the $3.16 consensus estimate, though segment margins compressed 130 basis points to 14.4%, almost entirely attributable to $15 million of manufacturing under-absorption from deliberately reduced production levels.
