Carlisle Companies Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
In the reported quarter, Carlisle’s revenues came in at $1,029 million, flat year over year. This was attributable to 1.4% fall in organic revenues, partially offset by 0.4% benefit from acquired assets and a positive impact of 0.9% from changes in foreign exchange rates.

In the first quarter, organic revenues increased 5.3% on account of solid growth across general industrial markets, along with benefits from acquisitions.
