Earnings Summary
Carrier Global Corporation is a global provider of climate control and refrigeration solutions, operating through HVAC and refrigeration segments that serve residential, commercial, and transport markets. The company operates in the building products and equipment industry, offering a broad portfolio of HVAC and refrigeration solutions. In Q4 2024, Carrier reported EPS of $0.54 versus an estimate of $0.48471, while revenue reached $5.148 billion, slightly higher than the $5.218 billion reported in Q1 2025, indicating modest revenue growth. However, the company’s EPS trend has been mixed, with a decline in Q4 2025 to $0.34 against an estimate of $0.3819, and a subsequent rebound to $0.86 in Q2 2026, reflecting volatility in earnings. Historically, Carrier has shown a YoY revenue decline in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, but revenue rebounded in Q2 2026 to $6.351 billion, surpassing the estimate of $6.138 billion, suggesting a potential turnaround. The company has consistently missed EPS estimates in two of the last four quarters, indicating earnings volatility. Recent news includes a downgrade of the price target by Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs, reflecting a more cautious outlook, and a press release highlighting Carrier’s role in a projected integrated air conditioning systems market expected to grow significantly, which may provide a favorable long‑term backdrop.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into CARR?

RICH

At today's price, Carrier Global Corporation needs to grow free cash flow about 38.5% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.82% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at -17.8% a year, so the market is asking for 56.3 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis CARR looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Up days (1y)
51%

Carrier Global Corporation is currently running 21.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CARR's own 6 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 11th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 30.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

CARR is trading -32.6% below its running peak. Across 6 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -23.4%, and the deepest was -37.4% in 2025. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -9.5% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 19th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year CARR closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 6 years of records, CARR finished the month higher 4 of 6 times, with a median return of +0.3% and an average of -1.4%. Its strongest month historically has been July at +8.0% on average, its weakest September at -3.0%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CARR has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 95 of 1,644 sessions (5.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +11.8% and -8.1%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, CARR moved an average of 2.5% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -1.0% and a largest of -5.2%.

All figures computed from 1,645 daily closes between 2020-03-19 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CARR's own 7-year history, not a peer group or index.
