Why Allegion Stock Soared on Thursday
Security products specialist (NYSE: ALLE) was popular with investors on Thursday, following its release of an encouraging quarterly earnings report. The document pleased investors, as they bid the company's stock up by more than 6% on the day. This compared rather favorably to the benchmark S 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), which essentially flatlined across the trading session.
Well before Thursday's market open, Ireland-based Allegion unveiled its second-quarter results. These showed that the company managed to boost revenue by nearly 6% year over year to slightly over $1.02 billion. On an organic basis -- i.e., excluding the impact of divestitures and acquisitions, plus foreign currency movements -- the top line also increased, by a little over 3%.
