Key Factors to Note

Carrier’s growing momentum across the core, aftermarket and digital offerings is expected to have benefited its third-quarter performance.

Carrier is witnessing key wins in entailed system level solutions, including hardware, controls and aftermarket. This is expected to have contributed well to the top line in the quarter under review.

Strength in the HVAC segment and increasing demand for CARR’s healthy, safe, sustainable & intelligent building offerings, and cold chain solutions might have continued supporting its performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for HVAC revenues of $3.56 billion implies a rise of 16.4% from the prior-year quarter’s reading.

Solid demand for the Breeze platform among new national account customers is expected to have benefited Carrier’s residential and light commercial businesses in the underlined quarter.

Constant momentum across transport and commercial refrigeration is likely to have augmented Refrigeration revenues in the quarter to be reported. The Zacks Estimate for the underlined segment’s revenues is pegged at $1.09 billion in the third-quarter, suggesting growth of 7.5% from the year-ago quarter’s level.  

However, uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results. The pandemic-induced fresh lockdowns in China are expected to have remained a headwind.

Also, softness in the Fire & Security segment is likely to have negatively impacted the performance in the quarter under review. The Zacks Estimate suggests Fire & Security revenues of $954 million, implying a 30.7% decline from the prior-year quarter’s actuals.

Supply-chain constraints, the ongoing geopolitical tensions and mounting expenses are expected to have hurt CARR’s profitability in the third quarter.
