Lennox International Stock 9-Day Losing Spree: Stock Falls -9.7%
Lennox International (LII) stock hit day 9 of a continuous streak of days with losses, with cumulative losses over this period amounting to a -9.7% return. The company has lost about $1.7 Bil in value over the last 9 days, with its current market capitalization at about $16 Bil. The stock remains 26.6% below its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 11.2% for the S&P 500.
Lennox International’s recent streak saw shares slide as Q3 revenue unexpectedly missed estimates, falling 4.8% year-over-year. Management’s revised full-year EPS guidance to a $23 midpoint and lingering residential HVAC inventory overhang fueled analyst downgrades, pushing the stock to a fresh 52-week low.
What is the point? Sustained weakness can be more than noise. It often signals shifting sentiment or deeper concerns. A multi-day losing streak may warn of further downside, or present an opportunity to buy if fundamentals are intact. Our take: There are a few things to fear in LII stock given its overall Moderate operating performance and financial condition. This is aligned with the stock’s Moderate valuation because of which we think it is Fairly Priced (see Buy or Sell LII).
