For fiscal 2025, analysts forecast the elevator maker to report adjusted EPS of $4.04, up 5.5% from $3.83 in fiscal 2024. Moreover, adjusted EPS is expected to grow 9.2% year-over-year to $4.41 in fiscal 2026.
Otis Worldwide has risen over 4% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) over 13% return and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLI) 22.2% gain over the same period.
Despite beating expectations with Q1 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.92, Otis Worldwide saw its shares drop 6.7% on Apr. 23, as net sales fell 2.5% to $3.4 billion, missing consensus estimates. The decline was attributed to soft demand in the New Equipment segment, particularly in China's struggling property market, as well as concerns over a projected $45 million to $75 million hit to operating profit from U.S.-China tariffs. Still, the company raised its full-year revenue outlook to a range of $14.6 billion to $14.8 billion.
Analysts' consensus view on Otis Worldwide stock is cautious, with an overall 'Hold' rating. Among 11 analysts covering the stock, two suggest a "Strong Buy," one "Moderate Buy," six give a "Hold," and two provide a "Strong Sell" rating. As of writing, OTIS is trading below the average analyst price target of $101.09.
