Recent operating and analyst developments

Revenue for the quarter was reported at $2.12 billion, above the forecasted $2.09 billion, a 1.44% revenue surprise.
Following those results, RBC Capital raised its price target for APi Group to $53 from $45 and maintained an Outperform rating on the shares. In its commentary, RBC Capital expects APi Group to exceed and raise its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance, citing a substantial backlog and continued demand in the company's end-market.
