Allegion is a specification-driven building security compounder with a durable moat rooted in brand leadership (Schlage, Von Duprin, LCN), architect/engineer specification lock-in, and regulatory complexity. The electronics mix shift (26% of revenue, growing low-double-digits) toward mobile credentials, cloud platforms, and RFID readers (ELATEC acquisition) extends the moat from mechanical hardware into recurring software/service revenue. At ~17x CY2027E EPS, the stock prices in modest growth but underappreciates the margin expansion from electronics mix shift and pricing power in a fragmented market.
