Grounding quotes
  • “Looking ahead, we remain convinced that driving adjusted EPS to $40 per share and maintaining ROIC above 25% as contemplated under Vision 2030 are the right long-term goals to maximize value creation for our shareholders.”
  • “Importantly, while we are setting conservative targets for 2026 given the end market uncertainties we face, our intent is anything but conservative.”
  • “The full year 2025, Carlisle delivered solid results in a very challenging environment.”
  • “we are not projecting a sharp recovery in our 2026 plans. But we are assuming a gradual bottoming out midyear and an upward inflection in the second half of the year.”

  • ROIC of approximately 25%, described as well above cost of capital and best in class

  • 2026 guidance of approximately 50 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and continued reinvestment in innovation, automation, and customer experience

Risks & pressure points

  • New commercial construction at CCM remained soft with continued declines in 2025, and no sharp recovery is projected for 2026
  • CWT faces pressure from softer residential and nonresidential new construction
  • 2026 outlook assumes only gradual bottoming of new construction midyear with an upward inflection expected in the second half, indicating first-half softness
  • Q4 CWT pricing was down less than 1% and 2026 CWT pricing is guided to approximately flat, with CCM pricing expected flat to down about 1%
  • Some raw material carryover headwinds including ATO and TCPP expected to weigh on Q1 2026 with no raw material benefit until Q2
  • M&A activity in 2025 was more muted as sellers expected elevated valuations, limiting deployment into acquisitions
