Carrier
Carrier Global Corporation (CARR) is a leading provider of heating, ventilation and air‑conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, fire and security systems for commercial, residential and industrial customers. With a market capitalisation around $50.9bn, Carrier combines product sales with recurring aftermarket services and controls software, giving investors exposure to both new‑build activity and steady service revenue. Key growth drivers include energy‑efficiency regulations, building retrofits and the rollout of smarter controls; the company also pursues margin improvement through services and digital offerings. At the same time Carrier is exposed to cyclical construction trends, commodity and shipping costs, and competitive pressure across regions. It has a history of returning cash to shareholders and maintaining operational discipline, but outcomes depend on execution and the macroeconomic environment. This summary is educational only and not investment advice; values can rise or fall and past performance is not a reliable guide to the future.
