CARRIER GLOBAL Corp Earnings Summary — Q1 2026
Carrier Global Achieves Positive Q1 Revenue Growth and Improved Net Profits Amid Strategic Portfolio Shifts
Key Takeaways
- Revenue grew 2.36% year-over-year to $5.34 billion, reflecting steady organic demand despite wide-scale portfolio transformations.
- Net income attributable to common shareholders reached $238 million, recovering significantly from the previous quarter's low of $53 million.
- Operating income of $259 million shows a decline from $629 million in Q1 2025, largely due to increased Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses and integration costs.
- The basic share count reduced from 867 million to 835 million YoY, indicating aggressive capital return via share repurchases.
- Gross profit margins faced slight compression compared to Q1 2025, landing at 23.3% for the current quarter.
- The absence of substantial 'Other Operating Income' (gains from divestitures) that padded prior years resulted in a cleaner, normalized operating profile.
- Management has successfully divested legacy businesses like Commercial Refrigeration and Fire & Security to focus exclusively on HVAC and climate solutions.
