Carlisle Companies (CSL) reported 8% revenue growth in its Construction Materials segment and 10% growth in Weatherproofing Technologies in Q2 2026, driven by strong re-roofing demand and market-share gains. However, elevated petroleum-based raw material and freight costs, exacerbated by Middle East geopolitical tensions, pressured margins as cost of sales increased 10.3%. The company raised its share repurchase target to $1.2 billion and increased its quarterly dividend by 14%, marking its 50th consecutive annual dividend increase.

ITT Inc. (ITT) is well-positioned for near-term growth driven by strength across its Flow Technologies, Connect and Control Technologies, and Motion Technologies segments. The company's recent acquisitions of Aerospace Contacts and SPX FLOW are expanding capabilities, while continued innovation investments and shareholder rewards through dividends and buybacks support its investment appeal. ITT carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) rating.
