Key Factors to Note

Carrier’s strong order momentum is expected to have continued aiding its performance in the first quarter.

Growing momentum across core, aftermarket and digital offerings is expected to have supported its performance in the quarter under review.

The company’s strength across residential HVAC and light commercial businesses might have continued supporting the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.

It has been consistently gaining order momentum in the Americas and EMEA regions. This is likely to have remained a positive in the underlined quarter.

Further, the quarterly performance is likely to have been driven by increasing investments in cold chain solutions and solutions related to healthy, safe, and sustainable building.

The company has been enhancing its focus on core areas. In this regard, CARR completed the sale of its Chubb fire and security business to APi Group Corporation for an enterprise value of $3.1 billion in the first quarter. This might have been a tailwind.

Further, the acquisition of Integrated Control Systems to bolster the building automation and controls business is expected to have contributed well to top-line growth in the first quarter.

CARR has been continuously gaining momentum for its BlueEdge offerings. During the quarter, the Marioff division extended its BluEdge Elite service agreement with Carnival Corporation & PLC to provide a comprehensive preventive maintenance program for Carnival’s fleet. This is anticipated to have been a tailwind.

Yet, uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results. Further, supply-chain constraints and mounting expenses related to acquisitions are expected to have affected its first-quarter performance.
