Welcome to our dedicated page for Carrier Global Corporation news (Ticker: CARR), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Carrier Global Corporation stock.
Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR) is a leading provider in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, and fire & security sectors. The company serves both residential and commercial markets, with the HVAC segment contributing significantly to its revenue—60% from commercial and 40% from residential markets. Carrier's refrigeration segment includes transportation refrigeration, Sensitech supply chain monitoring, and commercial refrigeration businesses. The fire and security division manufactures a range of products, including fire detection and suppression systems, access control, and intrusion detection solutions.
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. This strategic move was complemented by the acquisition of Germany-based Viessmann Climate Solutions for approximately $13 billion, aiming to bolster its climate and energy solutions offerings.
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. This sale includes prominent brands like Det-Tronics, Marioff, Autronica, and Fireye. The transaction, expected to close in the third quarter of 2024, will allow Carrier to focus on its vision of becoming a global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions. The firm plans to use the proceeds from this sale to pay down debt and resume share repurchases.
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. This transaction is part of Carrier's broader strategy to focus on high-growth, high-margin segments within the intelligent climate and energy solutions market.
