After separating from United Technologies, Carrier is in full control of its destiny. Organic reinvestment should boost its long-term growth prospects, and cost-cutting initiatives should result in stronger profit margins.
The company has significant franchise value with leading brands across its product portfolio. The flagship Carrier brand has demonstrable pricing power.
In the wake of the coronavirus, air filtration, air-quality assessment, cold-chain solutions, and touchless access control solutions should become larger market opportunities.
