IPG Market Overview

According to Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked across Lowe's, Menards, Home Depot and Ace Hardware from January 1 to August 31, 2026, IPG — a Clearlake Capital portfolio company — posted modest overall revenue growth of 1.1%. Lowe's is the brand's dominant retail channel at 45.2% of year-to-date revenue, with Menards (25.7%) and Home Depot (24.3%) splitting most of the remainder and Ace Hardware trailing at 4.8%. Pricing has softened over the period, with the average product price down 5.1% to $17.80 in the most recent month against a year-to-date average of $19.57. Momentum also cooled in the summer stretch, as revenue fell 12.9% month over month in the latest period tracked. The combination of a slightly positive full-period trend and recent price and revenue declines suggests promotional pressure and mix shifts across the brand's four retail accounts.
