Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CARR

09/28/2026: CARR (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Carrier Global Corp is a leading global provider of HVAC and energy-efficient building solutions that became an independent entity in 2020. The company has a significant market position and benefits from a large installed base that drives consistent service revenue, an essential aspect of its financial model. Its primary investment story involves a strategic pivot toward sustainable technologies like heat pumps and smart building systems, bolstered by major acquisitions. Investors must monitor execution risks regarding the integration of these assets, as well as macroeconomic sensitivity to construction cycles. The stock may suit value and dividend-focused investors seeking exposure to essential industrial infrastructure through a more focused, climate-centric business.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CARR receives a 3-star rating, supported by strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CARR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 7.8%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-73.5%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.3%), soft profitability (net margin 6.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CARR's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.7B (7.8% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is CARR's strongest growth driver at +3756.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-3.3%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-73.5%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 89.9% and approximately 95.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.76% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 13.35%

Quantitative Style Profile
