9 Red Days In A Row: Ingersoll Rand Stock Is Down 10%
A long losing streak for Ingersoll Rand meets a complex fundamental picture, leaving investors to weigh momentum against the underlying business.
Ingersoll Rand (IR) has seen a significant slide, with a cumulative loss of 10% over 9 consecutive trading days. That streak has erased about $3.6 billion from the company’s market value, which now stands at about $31 billion.
Even with the recent slide included, the stock remains up +15.5% over the trailing three months, making the sudden shift in momentum particularly pronounced for recent shareholders.
How The Streak Stacks Up Against The S&P 500
Here is how IR stock stacks up against the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it:
| Return Period | IR | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1D | -1.9% | -0.7% |
| 9D (Current Streak) | -10.2% | -0.4% |
| 1M (21D) | 0.8% | 3.3% |
| 3M (63D) | 15.5% | 3.9% |
| YTD 2026 | 2.0% | 12.4% |
| 2025 | -12.3% | 16.4% |
| 2024 | 17.1% | 23.3% |
| 2023 | 48.2% | 24.2% |
What does the data show behind this slide?
Valuation leaves little margin for error. Even after the pullback, Ingersoll Rand trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 32.8, compared to the S&P 500 median of 23.2, making the stock especially sensitive to shifts in sentiment. Its revenue growth over the last twelve months of 7.8% also trails the S&P 500 median revenue growth of 8.4%.
At the same time, its operating margin is 18.8%, slightly ahead of the 18.4% median for the index. The streak itself is also notable. While the S&P 500 returned -0.4% over the same 9 trading days, No other S&P 500 stock is currently on a losing streak of 9 days or more.
A streak is a signal, not a strategy.
A run of this length tells you that a stock has the market’s attention. Momentum is a real factor, but it offers no instructions on what to do next.
The disciplined response is to revisit the fundamentals. The numbers here provide a starting point to check if the underlying business still aligns with the price being offered, even after its recent decline.

Weakness In One Name Should Be Noise, Not News
For a diversified holder, a streak like this is a data point. For a concentrated one, it is a hole in the plan. The difference is never the stock; it is the portfolio built around it.
Building that portfolio is what the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio does: roughly 30 businesses with the cash generation and balance-sheet strength to absorb a bad month, selected and rebalanced by rules. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines the three major indices – the S&P 500, S&P Mid-cap, and Russell 2000. Make the next streak, in either direction, someone else’s drama.
