BULLISH
On the 1D view, CARR is trending bearish with a score of 32 and declining momentum. The SELL signal is technically clear, and price is compressed. The nuance is sentiment: at 58, it's diverging from the price action, suggesting news flow hasn't caught up to the selling yet. That gap between technicals and sentiment doesn't invalidate the chart-based read, but it does add a wildcard. If sentiment eventually turns to confirm the weakness, the move likely has further to run. If sentiment holds and draws in buyers near $50.76, a base could form before a recovery toward $56.16. Position sizing should reflect the unresolved nature of this split. Mixed setups like this tend to punish traders who commit early to either side. The more disciplined approach is waiting for $50.76 or $56.16 to actually trade and hold, rather than anticipating which one wins based on the diverging from sentiment read alone - Carrier Global Corporation's current structure doesn't yet reward that kind of conviction.

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. In the most recent quarters, Carrier posted EPS of $0.67 in Q3 2025 and $0.34 in Q4 2025, both slightly below estimates of $0.56931 and $0.3819, while revenue fell from $5.579 billion to $4.837 billion, a 13.4% decline that contrasts with the prior two quarters’ growth. Despite the recent dip, Carrier has delivered EPS beats in Q1 2025 and Q2 2025, and revenue growth in Q1 2025 and Q2 2025, indicating a pattern of strong performance in the first half of the year. Historically, the company has shown a YoY revenue growth trend in the first half of the year, with occasional revenue misses in the fourth quarter, yet overall earnings have remained above analyst expectations in most periods. Recent news includes a downgrade of Carrier’s price target by Bernstein on Oct 7, citing concerns over earnings trajectory and competitive pressures, and a market outlook report on Oct 2 projecting significant growth in the global air‑conditioning market, which could provide a tailwind for Carrier’s cooling business.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into CARR?

RICH

At today's price, Carrier Global Corporation needs to grow free cash flow about 37.8% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.79% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at -17.8% a year, so the market is asking for 55.6 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis CARR looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Up days (1y)
50%

Carrier Global Corporation is currently running 18.4% 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 4th 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 -34.1% 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 -11.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 15th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year CARR closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 7 years of records, CARR finished the month higher 4 of 7 times, with a median return of +0.0% and an average of -1.3%. 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 1,651 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 1,652 daily closes between 2020-03-19 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CARR's own 7-year history, not a peer group or index.
