Business Strength: Strong demand across non-residential end markets like education, healthcare and government is driving the Americas segment. In the third quarter of 2026, organic revenues from the company's non-residential businesses increased in the low double digits, supported by volume growth and price realization. The residential business witnessed mid-single-digit organic growth, primarily driven by pricing benefits.

Solid momentum in the electronics business, which experienced low-double-digit organic growth, is supporting its performance as well. The Allegion Americas segment's organic revenues increased 9.1% year over year in the third quarter.

Driven by strength across the business, the company expects its total revenues to increase 9.5-10.5% in 2026 from the year-ago level, while organic sales are expected to increase 5-6% year over year.

Acquisition Benefits: Allegion is focused on strengthening its business and product offerings through acquisitions. In October 2026, Allegion completed the acquisition of custom specialty doors provider Overly Door Company for approximately $88.7 million. The inclusion of Overly's expertise in high-security door products, coupled with its strong innovation capabilities, will enable Allegion to boost its hollow metal doors and frames portfolio. It will also help ALLE expand its presence across government, healthcare and education markets.

Also, in March 2026, Allegion acquired DCI Hollow Metal through one of its subsidiaries. The acquisition enabled the company to strengthen its core mechanical portfolio. Both the buyouts have been incorporated into the Americas segment. In the third quarter, acquisitions boosted the company's sales by 2.6%.
