Carrier Global's (NYSE:CARR) Q2 Earnings Results: Revenue In Line With Expectations
Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration company Carrier Global (NYSE:CARR) met Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q2 CY2025, with sales up 3% year on year to $6.11 billion. The company's outlook for the full year was close to analysts' estimates with revenue guided to $23 billion at the midpoint. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.92 per share was 2% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Carrier Global? Find out in our full research report. Carrier Global (CARR) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Revenue: $6.11 billion vs analyst estimates of $6.10 billion (3% year-on-year growth, in line) Adjusted EPS: $0.92 vs analyst estimates of $0.90 (2% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $1.20 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.45 billion (19.6% margin, 17.6% miss) The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $23 billion at the midpoint Management reiterated its full-year Adjusted EPS guidance of $3.05 at the midpoint Operating Margin: 14.8%, up from 12.2% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 9.3%, similar to the same quarter last year Organic Revenue rose 6% year on year (2% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $68.4 billion "We delivered another quarter of strong financial performance," said Carrier Chairman & CEO David Gitlin. Company Overview Founded by the inventor of air conditioning, Carrier Global (NYSE:CARR) manufactures heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration products. Revenue Growth Reviewing a company's long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Unfortunately, Carrier Global's 5.5% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was tepid. This fell short of our benchmark for the industrials sector and is a rough starting point for our analysis. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within industrials, a half-decade historical view may miss cycles, industry trends, or a company capitalizing on catalysts such as a new contract win or a successful product line. Carrier Global's annualized revenue growth of 5.3% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was consistently weak. We can better understand the company's sales dynamics by analyzing its organic revenue, which strips out one-time events like acquisitions and currency fluctuations that don't accurately reflect its fundamentals. Over the last two years, Carrier Global's organic revenue averaged 3% year-on-year growth. Because this number is lower than its normal revenue growth, we can see that some mixture of acquisitions and foreign exchange rates boosted its headline results. This quarter, Carrier Global grew its revenue by 3% year on year, and its $6.11 billion of revenue was in line with Wall Street's estimates. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 5.5% over the next 12 months, similar to its two-year rate. This projection doesn't excite us and indicates its newer products and services will not lead to better top-line performance yet. Software is eating the world and there is virtually no industry left that has been untouched by it. That drives increasing demand for tools helping software developers do their jobs, whether it be monitoring critical cloud infrastructure, integrating audio and video functionality, or ensuring smooth content streaming.

Operating Margin Operating margin is an important measure of profitability as it shows the portion of revenue left after accounting for all core expenses – everything from the cost of goods sold to advertising and wages. It's also useful for comparing profitability across companies with different levels of debt and tax rates because it excludes interest and taxes. Carrier Global has been an efficient company over the last five years. It was one of the more profitable businesses in the industrials sector, boasting an average operating margin of 15.3%. This result was particularly impressive because of its low gross margin, which is mostly a factor of what it sells and takes huge shifts to move meaningfully. Companies have more control over their operating margins, and it's a show of well-managed operations if they're high when gross margins are low. Analyzing the trend in its profitability, Carrier Global's operating margin decreased by 5 percentage points over the last five years. This raises questions about the company's expense base because its revenue growth should have given it leverage on its fixed costs, resulting in better economies of scale and profitability. This quarter, Carrier Global generated an operating margin profit margin of 14.8%, up 2.6 percentage points year on year. The increase was a welcome development and shows its expenses recently grew slower than its revenue, leading to higher efficiency. Earnings Per Share Revenue trends explain a company's historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth – for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Carrier Global's EPS grew at an astounding 18.2% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 5.5% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a shorter period to see if we are missing a change in the business. For Carrier Global, its two-year annual EPS growth of 9.3% was lower than its five-year trend. We hope its growth can accelerate in the future. In Q2, Carrier Global reported EPS at $0.92, up from $0.87 in the same quarter last year. This print beat analysts' estimates by 2%. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Carrier Global's full-year EPS of $2.88 to grow 14%. Key Takeaways from Carrier Global's Q2 Results Revenue was in line, but Carrier's EBITDA missed. Looking ahead, its full-year EPS guidance was in line with Wall Street's estimates. Overall, this was a softer quarter. The stock traded down 2.6% to $78.20 immediately following the results. Carrier Global's earnings report left more to be desired. Let's look forward to see if this quarter has created an opportunity to buy the stock. We think that the latest quarter is just one piece of the longer-term business quality puzzle. Quality, when combined with valuation, can help determine if the stock is a buy. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.

E-waste control: Axe that floor price and adapt to market reality
Gift this article A wave of litigation by top electronics companies like Samsung, LG, Carrier, Daikin, Havells and Voltas has brought India's 2024 e-waste rules into the spotlight. At the centre of the dispute is a mandatory floor price of ₹ 22 per kilogram of e-waste that producers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) must pay formal recyclers. A wave of litigation by top electronics companies like Samsung, LG, Carrier, Daikin, Havells and Voltas has brought India's 2024 e-waste rules into the spotlight. At the centre of the dispute is a mandatory floor price of ₹ 22 per kilogram of e-waste that producers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) must pay formal recyclers. EEE producers argue that this raises compliance costs by up to four times compared to the pre-2024 norms, which did not mandate a floor price. Also, they argue, the policy will be environmentally ineffective, as it turns the 'polluter pays' principle into a blunt mechanism. A March 2024 amendment to India's e-waste rules introduced a floor price as part of the system of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) certificates. It allows the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to fix a price band within which EPR certificates can be traded between producers and recyclers. The lowest price in this range is set at 30% of the penalty for non-compliance, while the highest price is set at 100%. Also Read: Ashok Lavasa: Address the missing link in e-waste recycling The problem here is its attempt to bridge a supervisory gap in India's waste management ecosystem through intervention in the market price of e-waste. The CPCB regulates the safe management of e-waste. A key part of its mandate involves formalizing the informal recycling sector, which still handles 90% of India's e-waste and yields very low recovery rates of useful metals. Unlicensed recyclers are banned from operating, but to join the formal system, they must invest in expensive upgrades. Yet, informal recycling remains India's mainstay. The limited involvement of organized private players is a systemic issue that demands proactive regulation and a formalization pathway for informal actors. A floor price is not a panacea for this. It leaves no room for recyclers and producers to negotiate prices based on market factors. Also, a guaranteed price disincentivizes recyclers from cutting costs through process innovations. That the current floor price is too high was revealed by recent bids as low as ₹ 5.90 per kg in a reverse auction that saw the participation of formal players. Recyclers earn EPR credits based on the recovery of such metals as gold, copper, aluminium and iron from e-waste. While recyclers need financial assistance to modernize operations, private producers should not be expected to shoulder the responsibility. Public funding should be used to develop the core infrastructure necessary for efficient recycling. The current regime also imposes a heavy financial burden on India's electronics manufacturers. Such regulatory constraints reduce competitiveness and discourage investment. Expensive compliance can also push recycling back into the informal sector, defeating the purpose of the regulation. Given the CPCB's ever-expanding mandate, it operates with insufficient staff and financial resources. Its staff strength declined from 389 to 379 between 2017-18 and 2022-2023 despite a rise in sanctioned posts. Vacancies nearly doubled, indicating that even as roles were added on paper, positions remained unfilled. Over roughly the same time frame, e-waste generation more than doubled to over 1.6 million tonnes, the number of regulated EEE categories jumped from 21 to 106 and the count of authorized recyclers rose from 275 to 567. So the Board's monitoring task has grown. Budget allocations have not kept pace. The CPCB was allotted ₹ 126 crore in 2025-26, even though electronics production has crossed ₹ 8.25 trillion. Additionally, funds already collected for environmental purposes remain underused. The CPCB spent less than 1% of its environmental compensation funds last year, for example. Also Read: Let India's AC market evolve to find its own comfort zone To address these gaps, three immediate reforms are necessary. First, the government must enhance the CPCB's operational and financial capacity significantly. This should include filling sanctioned staff positions, establishing regional offices and ensuring the full and timely use of collected funds. Second, the floor price should be withdrawn, with the option kept open to reinstate it later if need be. Allowing producers to sign contracts directly with certified recyclers at market rates would reduce costs, improve efficiency and reward innovation. Third, the informal sector must be better integrated into India's e-waste management system, which is critical to scaling up safe recycling infrastructure. The International Labour Organization's Recommendation No. 204 outlines how informal workers could be moved to the formal economy via legal recognition, access to finance, skills training and supply chain integration. Municipal authorities in countries such as Brazil have executed pilot projects to rally informal waste pickers into cooperatives, with access to proper infrastructure, formal contracts and health protection. With India's recycling ecosystem so heavily dependent on rag pickers, scrap dealers and repair workers, their legal recognition and support through training, finance and access to EPR systems can make this critical activity more inclusive, safer and scalable.

Why a great company's beat and raise was sold, and what I plan to do with the stock
When is a beat and raise not a beat and raise? That's a question that has frustrated us this earnings season. Case in point: How about Honeywell 's beat and raise last week? Here's a conglomerate splitting into three different companies, which also has a quantum computing business that's probably more advanced than any of the publicly traded quantum entities. Honeywell has an amazing aerospace business that handles the cockpit for most commercial airlines and a host of other accoutrements, including propulsion. It will very much participate in the aerospace boom and is only being held back by how many planes Boeing is allowed to make each month. That number will be going up soon. The automation business is about, among other things, industrial cybersecurity, smart grid, and regulated energy. There are underperforming divisions that if they are not fixed will be sold. The chemicals and materials businesses, including sustainable refrigerants, chemicals needed to make semiconductors and materials for carbon capture. Boring stuff but stuff that tends to be No. 1 in its category. The advanced materials business seems to be the legacy of Allied Chemical, which became Allied Signal, before merging with Honeywell. On last week's earnings call , management updated the timing on the breakup, saying the spinoff of advanced materials will happen in the fourth quarter. The other two are slated for the second half of 2026. At no point will these divisions be static. When there is something that can be done to make each better, it will be done, like the acquisition of Carrier 's global security business for $4.9 billion last year, a great price because Carrier needed to get to investment grade and did so by selling the division to Honeywell. Vimal Kapur, who became Honeywell's CEO in June 2023, takes after Dave Cote, the CEO before Darius Adamczyk. Cote is a legendary figure when it comes to creating value. I give you that history because Honeywell's stock, as of Friday's close, was down 0.7% year to date versus the S & P 500 's gain of 8.6% in 2025. Shares of Honeywell are trading nowhere near where they will trade as the split comes to fruition. Oddly, if it weren't breaking up, I think, at this point, it would trade higher than it does right now after that astonishing collapse last week based on, well, nothing. There was a margin issue in one division that will be fixed. There were two underperforming segments that will most likely go. There will be three companies that will either stand on their own or be bought by private equity, although the scarcity in aerospace company coupled with a pro-merger Federal Trade Commission will probably make that company a takeover target almost immediately. HON 1M mountain Honeywell 1-month performance While I have no idea why Honeywell's stock really collapsed, I can take the conspiratorial view, that some of the hedge funds who were short Kohl's decided to blow me up using a complex method of call buying and shorting. I know it seems phantasmagorical. But, when I started my Charitable Trust, whose holdings make up the CNBC Investing Club portfolio, I played open-handed and took fire quite often — even dealing with some who hinted that's exactly what they were doing. That's a dangerous game. I know what I am doing. I make mistakes, but a company like Honeywell — and Dover and DuPont , for that matter — are not among them. The Club owns all three. Another possible reason: Honeywell's structure could be too hard to understand. There are a huge number of divisions within divisions. You could ChatGPT these all day long and not figure out how they come together. But that's OK. That's what is being rectified by the planned split. But all of them are part of the reshoring and the reindustrialization of America. When you hear President Donald Trump getting $550 billion from the Japanese, Honeywell will get its share, whether it is from plane orders, or industrial buildings, or the myriad chemicals it takes to make things safely. Honeywell's split could be too far off. We call it spin purgatory , a period where nothing happens other than the back off separation of the divisions. Like with Honeywell, we're seeing that happen in DuPont, too, which trades like death. So, did Kenvue , when Johnson & Johnson spun it off. There's all of this red tape about new boards and new procedures that aren't everyday occurrences. No one can explain the length of time it takes. But it takes time and people aren't patient. They really want to wait until they see the whites of their separation eyes. It could also be the lack of real data center exposure. The only industrials that are working are the ones with data center exposure. While building automation within Honeywell has some, it is obviously not enough. What's my conviction based on then? How can I believe in Honeywell's stock, which does a beat and raise and it gets clobbered anyway; or that it has had a previous ones that were also poorly received, too? I give you a few reasons. First, discouragement is not a good quality to base an investment decision on. That's what I did with Emerson . It had two shortfalls, and I decided that its reorganization based around electrification wasn't going to work. I bolted after the second one. My total bad. They got it together even after a hostile bid that they won, and this very difficult to understand ugly duckling became a swan. I felt the same way with Oracle . The company had made a somewhat dispiriting acquisition of medical records company Cerner, and I had no idea what the hell that was about. Then it decided to get into data centers. Not once, but twice, they disappointed in their data center goal. I was livid. So, I kicked it out. It then ran higher. I had isolated two fantastic stock ideas. And, just when they got hammered a second time, I fled, right before they were recognized as great situations by everyone. I can't let that happen again. Curiously, the pain was the greatest after that second miss, when people were truly fed up. This one is the worst and, yet, I would argue it wasn't as bad a miss, if it were a miss at all. Second, people don't believe that Kapur can actually improve each of the three companies that are developing. They fear lost focus. They fear economic cycles. They fear that he is in the "wrong" industries even as private equity firms are routinely in the wrong industries, yet they are fine. Kapur knows how to multitask. Three, there is tremendous fright here in the way Honeywell stock trades, The moves are particularly vicious. They are from peak to trough, tremendously ugly, devoid of any support whatsoever. I wish I had an answer to this one. All I can say is that the decline has to be bought because the overreaction is ridiculous. I know when a stock is down nearly 14 points on a given day, as it was after Thursday's earnings print, it is typically not done going down. The selling from the previous day tends not to be finished. Too many sellers. And, that's what happened. Friday's opening hours were hideous as the sellers from Thursday finished. The stock market typically gives you clues about what a stock will do. When I find a stock breaking down as much as Honeywell, I know the queue to get out is a deep one and the process, if heavy institutional selling, means that a broker usually buys stock to work it by finding clients. If they can't be found you get what you got Thursday and Friday, the brokers just throw out what's left. Hence the Day 2 ugliness. Barring some craziness from the president, Honeywell is recharged and ready to go because, you see, it was a beat and raise. It was real — as will the next move. Bottom line So, what am I doing? Standing pat initially, waiting for my restrictions to run out. Remember, when I mention a stock on television, the Club must wait three days to trade it. Then, I am going to buy some because I am being given a chance to do so, like I did with Oracle and Emerson, and I didn't take them. Were they unique? Who knows? I do know this. I had done the work. I had conviction. Out of pique and frustration, I gave up. I am doing the opposite this time. (See here for a full list of the stocks in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust.)

Yes, a 2-ton AC is generally suitable for halls measuring 200–260 sq. ft. However, room size isn't the only factor. High ceilings, number of windows, direct sunlight, and occupancy can also affect cooling. If your hall has poor insulation or faces extreme heat, you might need a more powerful unit or an additional AC. Always assess your hall's layout and insulation to ensure the 2-ton capacity provides optimal cooling. Which is better for large halls—split AC or window AC? Split ACs are better suited for large halls as they offer more powerful and efficient cooling, quieter operation, and flexible indoor unit placement. They often come with inverter technology, which adjusts power based on need, saving energy. Window ACs are more affordable and easier to install but may struggle with uniform cooling in large spaces. For consistent and comfortable cooling in big halls, a split AC is the preferred choice. How energy efficient is a 2-ton AC? A 2-ton AC can be energy efficient if it has a 5-star BEE rating or inverter technology. These models consume less electricity by adjusting power usage based on the cooling requirement. While the initial cost of such models may be higher, they significantly reduce monthly power bills. Also, look for features like sleep mode, eco-mode, and programmable timers to optimise energy use in large halls. Regular maintenance also ensures long-term efficiency. Factors to consider while buying a 2 ton AC for large halls Room Size & Layout: Ensure the hall is around 200–260 sq. ft. A 2-ton AC is suitable for such spaces, but if the room has high ceilings, large windows, or poor insulation, cooling efficiency may be impacted. Energy Efficiency: Always look for a 5-star BEE rating and inverter technology. These ACs adjust compressor speed as needed, consuming less power and reducing electricity bills. Airflow & Cooling Speed: Choose an AC with wide-angle air throw, turbo or fast-cooling mode, and a high airflow rate (measured in CFM). This ensures the entire hall gets cooled quickly and evenly, without hot spots. Type of Condenser: Prefer a copper condenser over aluminium. Copper offers better heat transfer, is more durable, and easier to maintain—important for consistent performance in large areas. Smart & Convenience Features: Look for Wi-Fi control, app or voice operation, auto-clean, self-diagnosis, and timers. These features make managing a large space easier and more convenient.

Yes, inverter ACs are more energy-efficient, adjust cooling based on room temperature, and provide consistent performance in large areas. How much electricity does a 2-ton AC use? A 2-ton inverter AC typically consumes 1.5–2 units per hour, depending on usage, settings, and energy rating. Can a 2-ton AC cool a high-ceiling room? Yes, but cooling may be slower. Use fans or ceiling insulation to improve air circulation and efficiency in high-ceiling halls. Do I need a stabiliser for a 2-ton AC? Many modern ACs support stabiliser-free operation within a voltage range. Check the specs; if your area has frequent fluctuations, a stabiliser is safer.
