Description: LR Legrand January 28, 2026
Legrand SA (Ticker LR) designs, manufactures, and distributes a broad portfolio of electrical and digital building-infrastructure products across Europe, North & Central America, and roughly 170 other markets. Its offerings span energy distribution and management (including EV-charging stations, panels, switchboards, UPS), wiring and connected-home devices, security and communication systems (access control, fire alarms, IT networking, nurse-call), conduit and cable-management hardware, industrial power components, installation accessories, and lighting solutions. These products serve end-markets such as hotels, offices, data centers, retail, healthcare, industrial facilities, and residential buildings.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023 – Legrand annual report, Bloomberg, and industry forecasts):
• Revenue ≈ €7.1 billion, up ~6 % YoY, driven by a 12 % rise in the Digital Infrastructure segment and a 9 % increase in EV-charging solutions.
• Operating margin stabilized at 8.2 % after a 2022 dip, reflecting cost-efficiency programs and higher-margin services.
• The global EV-charging market is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~30 % through 2028 (IEA), positioning Legrand’s charging portfolio for outsized top-line upside.
• European construction spending, a primary demand driver, is expected to expand ~2 % YoY in 2024 (Eurostat), supporting steady demand for wiring, conduit, and smart-building products.
These figures suggest that Legrand benefits from both secular digital-building trends and the accelerating electrification of transport, though exposure to macro-cyclical construction activity remains a risk factor.
