Lennox International Inc. (LII) rose 3.00% on Sept. 4, with a trading volume of $0.21 billion, ranking 492nd in market activity. Recent developments highlight strategic moves and product innovations driving investor interest.

The company signed an agreement to acquire the HVAC division of NSI Industries, expanding its residential heating, ventilation, and air conditioning offerings.

Corporate governance updates include the appointment of Tracy Embree to the board and a boost in quarterly dividend and stock repurchase authorizations. These actions reflect confidence in the company’s financial resilience and long-term value creation.

Backtesting of historical data from 2025 shows LII’s performance relative to the S&P 500: a 7.46% year-to-date return, 1.83% over one year, 135.30% over three years, and 114.78% over five years. The stock’s trailing P/E of 23.31 and forward P/E of 20.37 indicate mixed valuation dynamics compared to peers.
