MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Carrier Global
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Carrier Global Co.:

  • Carrier Global Co. recently reported strong third-quarter results, beating consensus estimates with earnings per share of $0.86 compared to the expected $0.82, while also exceeding revenue forecasts with $6.35 billion in sales against a consensus of $6.02 billion, demonstrating robust operational performance.
  • The company has raised its full-year 2026 earnings guidance to $2.90 per share, which is higher than the average sell-side analyst estimate of $2.87, suggesting management confidence in continued growth and potential for further upside in shareholder returns.
  • Carrier Global Co. offers a stable income stream with a quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share, resulting in an annualized yield of approximately 1.75%, which provides a cushion for investors seeking consistent cash flow alongside capital appreciation.
  • Institutional interest in the stock remains strong, with 91% of shares owned by hedge funds and other institutional investors, and recent filings show significant increases in holdings by firms like Professional Advisory Services Inc. and YHB Investment Advisors Inc., indicating broad market confidence.
  • The stock is currently trading at $55.83, which is below its 50-day moving average of $58.68 and significantly below its 52-week high of $76.76, potentially presenting a value entry point for investors looking to capitalize on a pullback in a fundamentally sound company.

Carrier Global
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Carrier Global Co. for these reasons:

  • Several major financial institutions have recently lowered their price targets and ratings, including Sanford C. Bernstein cutting its target from $78.00 to $64.00 and Deutsche Bank reducing its target from $71.00 to $64.00, reflecting a more cautious outlook on the stock's near-term potential.
  • The stock is trading below its 200-day moving average of $62.92, indicating a longer-term downtrend, and the price has declined from its 52-week high of $76.76, suggesting persistent downward pressure on the share price over the past year.
  • Short interest in Carrier Global Co. has increased recently, with shares shorted rising to 15,860,118 as of the latest record date, a 3.7% increase from the previous month, indicating that a portion of the market is betting against the stock's future performance.
  • The company's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 0.77, which, while manageable, indicates a significant level of leverage that could constrain financial flexibility or increase risk during periods of economic uncertainty or rising interest rates.
  • Recent earnings have shown volatility, with the second quarter of 2026 reporting a revenue decline of 6.0% year-over-year and a miss on earnings per share, suggesting that the company's growth trajectory may not be as consistent as the recent strong quarter implies.
