The latest announcement is out from Leggett & Platt ( (LEG) ).
On February 19, 2026, Leggett & Platt’s board committee approved modest 2026 base salary increases for its president and CEO Karl G. Glassman and other named executives, while confirming their long‑term incentive award multiples and slightly raising the LTI multiple and KOIP target percentage for General Counsel Jennifer Davis. The committee also set 2026 cash incentive targets under the Key Officers Incentive Plan and detailed award formulas tying payouts for corporate and profit center executives to EBITDA, cash flow or free cash flow thresholds and caps, with strict adjustment rules for acquisitions, divestitures, non‑core items, and compliance performance.
The committee adopted a 2026 Performance Stock Unit framework that splits PSU performance equally between three‑year cumulative EBITDA and return on invested capital, then applies a relative total shareholder return multiplier capped at 200% and constrained when absolute TSR is negative. On the same date, it approved grants of performance stock units and time‑based restricted stock units to current named executives effective February 26, 2026, reinforcing a compensation design that links executive pay more tightly to long‑term profitability, capital efficiency, safety and shareholder returns while defining clear vesting, retirement, and change‑in‑control provisions.
The most recent analyst rating on (LEG) stock is a Hold with a $12.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Leggett & Platt stock, see the LEG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on LEG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LEG is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by weaker financial performance (multi-year revenue declines, earnings volatility, and still-elevated leverage) partially offset by resilient cash flow and progress on deleveraging. The earnings outlook is balanced: restructuring and margin focus support profitability, but guidance signals continued demand headwinds. Valuation is a relative positive due to a low P/E, while technicals are broadly neutral with limited near-term momentum.
