The business, in plain English

Ingersoll Rand Inc. booked $7.7B of revenue in FY2025 in the Industrials sector and kept 43.6% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 7.6% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $2.1B (FY2015) to $7.7B (FY2025) — about 13.7% a year compounded over 10 years.

It earned 6.4% on invested capital in FY2025, with a median of 5.8% across 11 filed years. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 8/100.

The balance sheet carried $4.8B of total debt in FY2025 against $951.6M of owner earnings — roughly 5.0 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 32/100.

The share count rose 163.1% between FY2016 and FY2025 — existing owners have been diluted over the record. Capital Discipline scores it 80/100.

Put together: Capital Discipline is the strongest of the four filters (80/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (8/100), which is how IR lands at 43/100 — a Shallow moat.
