Read MoreHide Full Article
Trane Technologies plc’s (TT - Free Report) stock has had an impressive run over the past three months. Shares appreciated 21.6% against a 3.8% decline of the industry it belongs to and a 0.9% fall of the Zacks S&P 500 composite.
Let’s delve into the factors that have contributed to the company’s outperformance.
Consecutive Earnings & Revenue Beat
Trane came up with better-than-expected earnings and revenue performances in the past three quarters. The top line benefited from the company’s steps to increase the revenue stream from parts, services, controls, used equipment and rentals. The bottom line was aided by improving the quality of products and services, and operating efficiencies.
Trane raised its guidance for full-year 2022. The company expects revenues to increase 11% on a reported basis and 12% on an organic basis compared with the prior expectation of a 9% increase on a reported basis and 10% on an organic basis.
Adjusted EPS is expected to be between $7.05 and $7.15 compared with the previously expected range of $6.95-$7.15. The midpoint of the raised guided range is the same as the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.10.
Consistent Dividend Payer

In 2021, 2020 and 2019, the company repurchased shares worth $1.10 billion, $250 million and $750.1 million, respectively. It paid out $561.1 million, $507.3 million and $510.1 million in dividends during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
