Recently, Carrier has been actively transforming its portfolio. In April 2023, the firm announced plans to divest its fire and security and commercial refrigeration businesses.

In a recent announcement on March 5, 2024, Carrier entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Industrial Fire business to Sentinel Capital Partners for $1.425 billion.

Carrier continues to innovate, recently leading an investment in Strategic Thermal Labs for a revolutionary liquid cooling solution for data centers. This initiative aligns with the company's goal to enhance energy efficiency and support high-density computing needs. Additionally, Carrier's financial performance remains strong, as evidenced by its robust first-quarter 2024 results showing a 17% increase in sales, bolstered by the Viessmann acquisition and organic growth.
Further solidifying its transformation, Carrier successfully sold its Global Access Solutions business to Honeywell for $4.95 billion, marking a significant milestone in its portfolio realignment efforts.
