It sells its products through some market-leading brands like Carlisle SynTec, WeatherBond Roofing, Versico Roofing, Hunter Panels, Resitrix and Hertalan.

Analysts are anticipating more upside for CSL.
Carlisle is set to benefit from strong demand for reroofing products and solid repair and remodel activities in the construction sector. Recent mortgage rate reductions and signals from the Fed about upcoming rate cuts have reignited the housing market. Driven by strength across its businesses, it anticipates revenues to increase 12% in 2024. Synergies from the MTL Holdings acquisition strengthened the company’s architectural metals business. Also, Carlisle’s shareholder-friendly policies are encouraging. However, lower volumes from a slowdown in the residential construction market are adversely affecting the CWT segment. High-debt levels are added concerns for the company. Also, rising expenses are worth keeping an eye on. Given the company’s international exposure, foreign currency headwinds are an inherent part of the business.
Over the past four weeks, shares have rallied 6.68%, and there have been 3 higher earnings estimate revisions in the past two months for fiscal 2024 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
