Ingersoll Rand logged higher revenue in the fourth quarter, boosted by its precision and science technologies unit.

The Davidson, N.C., supplier of pumps and other industrial products on Thursday reported a profit of $229.8 million, flat from a year earlier. On a per-share basis, earnings came in at 57 cents, up by a penny year-over-year.

Adjusted per-share earnings came in at 84 cents, in line with analyst forecasts, according to FactSet.

Revenue rose to $1.9 billion from $1.82 billion. Analysts were looking for $1.91 billion.

The company's industrial technologies and services segment--which provides compressor, vacuum, blower and air-treatment solutions--notched sales of $1.51 billion, flat from last year. Revenue across its precision and science technologies unit; which provides precision liquid, gas, air and powder-handling technologies for a range of industries; jumped 24% to $388 million.

Chief Executive Vicente Reynal said the company is poised for a strong year of merger-and-acquisition activity in 2025. "In what continues to be a dynamic global market environment, we remain nimble and focused as we continue to deliver financial durability by meeting our long-term commitments," he said.

For 2025, Ingersoll guided for adjusted per-share earnings of $3.38 to $3.50, bracketing the $3.45 that analysts forecast. It said it expects revenue to grow 3% to 5% from last year. Analysts expect revenue of $7.56 billion, representing a 4.5% year-over-year increase.
