Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Allegion plc is a global provider of security products and solutions focused on securing people and property. The company operates primarily within the building security, access control, and safety solutions industries, serving both mechanical and electronic security markets. Allegion’s offerings are used in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings, with a strong emphasis on non-residential end markets such as education, healthcare, government, and commercial facilities.
The company’s primary revenue drivers are mechanical locks, electronic access control systems, credentials, and related software and services. Allegion holds a differentiated market position through a portfolio of well-established brands, a strong distribution network, and long-standing relationships with architects, security professionals, and institutional customers. Allegion was formed in 2013 through the spin-off of Ingersoll Rand’s security technologies business and has since operated as an independent, publicly traded company focused exclusively on access and safety solutions.

Allegion generates revenue through two main operating segments: Americas and International. The Americas segment represents the majority of revenue and profit, driven largely by mechanical locks, exit devices, and electronic security solutions sold under flagship brands.

The company controls a portfolio of proprietary technologies spanning mechanical locking systems, electronic access control, mobile credentials, and integrated security software.
