Summary
- Carrier Global’s organic revenue trajectory has been strong, at a time when CARR is transforming its portfolio. It is becoming a pure-play HVAC business and selling over $5b of its portfolio.
- We are supportive of the approach, owing to tailwinds benefiting the HVAC segment, albeit have challenged specific decisions. Realistically, it will take many years to assess the success of this.
- CARR appears primed for margin improvement and a small step-up in growth rate to MSD/HSD, which could allow for considerable shareholder returns with distributions.
- We do not believe CARR’s current valuation allows sufficient margin of error to make this an attractive business. We suggest investors remain patient and monitor progress.
