Lennox is covered by 5 analysts, with a consensus recommendation leaning neutral. The distribution includes 2 Outperform/Overweight ratings (Oppenheimer, Barclays), 2 Equal Weight/Sector Perform (Wells Fargo, RBC Capital), and 1 Underweight (Morgan Stanley). The average EPS estimate for the current fiscal year is $36.93, with a range of $35.91 to $38.39. The average revenue estimate is $7.02 billion, with a range of $6.87 billion to $7.23 billion. Based on the current price of $570.03, the implied upside to the average target (not provided) would require calculation, but the consensus suggests a balanced view.
The target price range is not explicitly provided, but the spread in EPS estimates (from $35.91 to $38.39) indicates moderate uncertainty. The high estimate assumes continued margin resilience and potential market share gains, while the low estimate factors in ongoing revenue headwinds and cost inflation. Recent ratings have been stable, with no major upgrades or downgrades in the past six months, suggesting analysts are waiting for clearer signs of a demand recovery. The presence of both bullish and bearish views reflects the cyclical nature of the HVAC industry and the stock's current valuation.
LII Technical Analysis
Lennox International is in a recovery phase after a significant pullback, with the stock trading at $570.03 as of July 2, 2026, down 5.3% over the past year but up 14.3% year-to-date. The current price sits at 39% of its 52-week range ($434.06 low to $689.44 high), indicating it has recovered from the lows but remains well below the highs, suggesting a potential value opportunity if the recovery continues. The 1-year price change of -5.3% contrasts with the S&P 500's +19.1% gain, highlighting relative underperformance.
Short-term momentum is strong, with the stock gaining 10.4% in the past month and 25.4% in the past three months, significantly outpacing the S&P 500's 1-month and 3-month returns of -1.25% and 13.56%, respectively. This acceleration in momentum suggests a potential trend reversal from the prior downtrend, though the 1-year decline indicates that the recovery is still in its early stages. The relative strength versus the S&P 500 is positive over 1-month (+11.6%) and 3-month (+11.8%), confirming near-term outperformance.
Key support lies near the 52-week low of $434.06, while resistance is at the 52-week high of $689.44. A breakout above $689.44 would signal a resumption of the long-term uptrend, while a breakdown below $434.06 could indicate further downside. With a beta of 1.163, Lennox is slightly more volatile than the market, meaning it tends to amplify market moves by about 16%, which is important for risk management.

LII Fundamental Analysis
Lennox's revenue trajectory has been mixed, with the most recent quarter (Q4 2025) reporting revenue of $1.195 billion, a decline of 11.15% year-over-year from $1.345 billion in Q4 2024. This deceleration follows a pattern of slowing growth, as Q3 2025 revenue of $1.427 billion was down 4.8% from Q3 2024's $1.498 billion. The residential segment generated $699.8 million in Q4 2025, while commercial contributed $495.2 million, indicating that both segments are facing headwinds from softer new construction and replacement demand.
Profitability remains solid, with net income of $142.5 million in Q4 2025, though down from $197.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin improved slightly to 32.58% from 33.85% a year ago, while operating margin contracted to 16.38% from 18.19%, reflecting cost pressures. The net margin of 11.92% is still healthy but below the 14.70% reported in Q4 2024. The company has maintained positive net income for all recent quarters, with a trailing twelve-month net income of $786.2 million.
Balance sheet leverage is notable, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.77 and total debt to capitalization of 63.96%, indicating moderate financial risk. Free cash flow for the trailing twelve months was $638.8 million, providing ample coverage for debt service and dividends. The current ratio of 1.60 suggests adequate liquidity, while ROE of 67.6% is exceptionally high, driven by leverage and strong profitability. The company generated $405.9 million in operating cash flow in Q4 2025, supporting its ability to fund operations and invest in growth.

Valuation Analysis: Is LII Overvalued?
Given Lennox's positive net income, the primary valuation metric is the P/E ratio. The trailing P/E is 21.77x, while the forward P/E is 21.32x, implying a slight compression that suggests the market expects earnings growth to moderate. The gap between trailing and forward P/E is minimal, indicating stable earnings expectations. The PEG ratio is negative at -13.71, which is not meaningful due to negative earnings growth expectations.
Compared to the construction industry, Lennox trades at a premium. The P/S ratio of 3.26x is above the industry average (not provided, but typically lower for cyclical industrials). The EV/EBITDA of 16.99x also suggests a premium valuation. This premium may be justified by Lennox's strong brand, market leadership in residential HVAC, and consistent profitability, but it leaves less room for error if growth disappoints.
Historically, Lennox's trailing P/E of 21.77x is near the lower end of its recent range, which has fluctuated from around 18x to 35x over the past few years. The current P/E is below the 5-year average of approximately 25x, suggesting the stock is relatively cheap compared to its own history. This could indicate a value opportunity if the company can stabilize revenue growth, but it may also reflect the market's skepticism about near-term demand.
