Otis Service Growth Builds Momentum as Equipment Demand Stays Weak
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways OTIS grew second-quarter Service sales 11%, with maintenance, repair and modernization driving gains.Otis modernization backlog rose 26% at constant currency, supporting future Service revenue visibility.OTIS expects Service margin improvement in second half as UpLift and pricing initiatives continue. Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS - Free Report) is leaning harder on its recurring Service business as New Equipment demand stays uneven. Maintenance, repair and modernization now carry more of the revenue story while installation activity remains pressured.

The investor question is whether Service can keep enough momentum to offset weak equipment demand, especially in China. That balance is central to OTIS’ near-term operating setup.

Otis Service Revenue Becomes the Core Growth EngineService accounted for 65.4% of 2025 revenues, making it the larger of Otis’ two segments. The segment includes maintenance, repair and modernization services across a maintenance portfolio of more than 2 million units worldwide.

In the second quarter of 2026, Service net sales rose 11% year over year to $2.58 billion. Organic sales increased 9%, helped by broad gains across maintenance, repair and modernization activity.

OTIS Modernization Backlog Extends Revenue VisibilityModernization remains a key support for Service growth. Organic modernization sales increased 24% in the second quarter, while modernization orders rose 9% at constant currency.

Backlog grew 26% at constant currency, giving Otis better visibility into future modernization revenues. Management expects Service organic sales to grow in the mid-to-high-single-digit range in 2026, though second-half Service growth is expected to ease to about 6% as modernization normalizes to a low-teens rate.

Otis New Equipment Demand Remains Under PressureNew Equipment remains the weak spot. Second-quarter organic sales declined 1%, reflecting a high-teens revenue drop in China and a mid-single-digit decline in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Orders fell 5% at constant currency as declines in Asia Pacific and China offset growth in the Americas and Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The segment’s operating margin contracted 220 basis points to 3.1%, underscoring the impact of lower volume, unfavorable pricing and mix.

Carrier Global Corporation (CARR - Free Report) , a climate and energy solutions company, offers investors another lens on building systems demand. United Rentals, Inc. (URI - Free Report) , which serves construction and industrial customers with equipment rentals, provides a broader read on project activity tied to the same end-market cycle.

OTIS Cost Actions Target a Service Margin RecoveryOtis is trying to improve Service execution through its UpLift transformation. The effort focuses on standardized field processes, frontline execution and customer retention.

The company invested $15 million in Service Excellence during the second quarter and plans $50 million of Service Excellence and pricing initiatives in 2026. Management also completed non-frontline restructuring actions and expects Service margins to improve from 23.1% in the first half of 2026 to about the mid-24% range in the second half.

Otis Signals Favor Growth but Not Near-Term MomentumThe bottom line is that Otis has a durable Service thesis, but the stock does not yet show clean near-term confirmation. Recurring maintenance, repair and modernization revenues support the operating case, while China weakness, low New Equipment margins and cost pressure keep the earnings setup mixed.

OTIS currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). That ranking reflects weaker short-term estimate revision trends, so it tempers the appeal of the Service-led growth story for investors focused on the next one to three months.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

The Style Scores are more balanced. OTIS has a Growth Score of B and VGM Score of B, pointing to stronger operating potential across growth and combined style factors. Its Value Score of C and Momentum Score of C are more neutral, suggesting that valuation and price action are not yet providing the same level of support.

Is Otis Stock Attractive After Guidance Cuts and Its 19% YTD Slide?
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways OTIS trades at 16.1X forward earnings, below its five-year median and key industry benchmarks.Otis cut 2026 EPS, operating profit and free cash flow guidance while keeping net sales unchanged.OTIS faces margin pressure as earnings estimates decline despite ongoing buybacks and a higher dividend. Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS - Free Report) has fallen 19% year to date, putting valuation back near the center of the investment debate.

The pullback offers a lower entry multiple, but it also reflects weaker profit visibility. Investors now have to weigh the recurring Service business, cash generation and capital returns against reduced guidance and margin execution risk.

OTIS Valuation Sits Below Key Historical BenchmarksOTIS traded at 16.1X forward 12-month earnings, a discount to its five-year median of 23.01X. That gap suggests the stock already reflects a more cautious earnings outlook.

The discount also extends beyond its own history. The stock traded below the Zacks sub-industry multiple of 21.55X, the sector multiple of 21.86X and the S&P 500 multiple of 20.42X. The $76 price target was based on a 17.29X forward multiple, still below its longer-term median.

Carrier Global Corporation (CARR - Free Report) , another industrial building-systems name, offers a useful comparison because investors also evaluate its service and installed-base exposure. United Rentals, Inc. (URI - Free Report) sits in a different part of the industrial cycle, but it gives investors another read on equipment demand and construction-related spending.

Otis Guidance Cuts Weaken the Earnings CaseOtis lowered adjusted earnings per share guidance for 2026 to $4.01-$4.05 from $4.20-$4.24. Adjusted operating profit guidance was cut to about $2.4 billion from about $2.5 billion.

Adjusted free cash flow guidance also moved down to $1.50-$1.55 billion from $1.60-$1.65 billion. Net sales guidance stayed at $15.1-$15.3 billion, so the revision points less to a revenue shortfall and more to weaker conversion from sales into profit and cash flow.

OTIS Cash Returns Offer Partial Downside SupportCash returns remain part of the case for OTIS. First-half adjusted free cash flow reached $562 million, while the company repurchased roughly $800 million of shares in the first half.

The dividend was raised 5%, and the stock offered a dividend yield of 2.5%. These actions may not fully offset margin pressure, but they provide a measure of shareholder-return support while management works through cost and productivity issues.

Owens Corning Inc (OC - Free Report) , a building-products peer, is another relevant industrial comparison for investors tracking construction-linked demand and margin resilience. Its inclusion helps frame OTIS within a broader group where operating execution often matters as much as end-market exposure.

Otis Earnings Estimates and Margins Raise CautionMargin trends are the main reason the lower valuation does not automatically create a clear buying signal. Adjusted operating margin contracted 180 basis points to 15.2% in the second quarter.

Service margin fell 170 basis points to 23.2%, even as segment sales increased. New Equipment margin declined 220 basis points to 3.1%, pressured by lower volume, unfavorable pricing and adverse mix. The fiscal 2026 earnings per share estimate also fell 4.7% over four weeks, showing that expectations were still resetting.

OTIS Scores Point to a Mixed Investment SetupThe bottom line is that OTIS looks cheaper, but the discount comes with visible earnings and margin risks. A durable Service model and cash returns support the long-term profile, while guidance cuts keep near-term conviction limited.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). That rank weighs against treating the valuation discount as an immediate buying signal because the Zacks Rank is tied to short-term earnings estimate trends.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

The Style Scores show a mixed setup. OTIS has a Growth Score of B and a VGM Score of B, indicating better relative characteristics on growth and the combined value, growth and momentum framework. Its Value Score of C and Momentum Score of C are more neutral, reinforcing a cautious stance until estimate trends and margins show steadier footing.

Otis Worldwide: Don't Expect Meaningful Upside Near-Term, But I Remain Bullish
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Otis Worldwide posted mixed Q2 results, beating revenue estimates but cutting full-year 2026 guidance due to persistent headwinds. Despite margin pressure and profit declines, OTIS's service segment remains the primary growth engine, with modernization up 24% and maintenance trends accelerating. Headwinds in China and higher labor and energy costs continue to weigh on New Equipment segment profits and overall margins.

Otis Worldwide: Strong Service Growth Still Needs To Show Margin Expansion
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
I maintain a hold rating on Otis Worldwide Corporation as strong service and modernization demand is not yet translating into earnings growth. Service margins contracted due to higher labor costs and slower productivity ramp from new mechanics, despite robust backlog and retention improvements. New equipment sales remain weak overall, with China still a drag, but the Americas show promising order momentum and backlog growth.

Otis Worldwide NYSE: OTIS just gave income investors a gift wrapped in a sell-off. Shares dropped by more than 2% the day the elevator giant reported Q2 2026 earnings. 

The company met expectations with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.01. Then, management trimmed its profit outlook for the second consecutive quarter.

Get Otis Worldwide alerts:

But look past the short-term outlook, and a different story emerges. Sales are growing, the backlog is the strongest it's been in years, and the company’s dividend keeps getting bigger.

For investors willing to separate this quarter's cost pressure from next year's payoff, Otis looks less like a broken story and more like a company in the middle of a renovation.

Otis Earnings Show Strong Sales, But Margin Pressure PersistsNet sales in the quarter climbed 7% year-over-year to $3.86 billion, with organic growth of 6%. Service, which is Otis's highest-margin, most durable business at 94% of segment operating profit, grew organic sales 9%. Modernization orders were up 24%, and the backlog was up a striking 26% on a constant currency basis. That backlog number is a leading indicator of revenue that Otis hasn't even booked yet.

That was the good news. The bad news showed up in margins. Adjusted operating profit fell to $587 million from $612 million, and adjusted operating margin contracted 180 basis points to 15.2%. Adjusted EPS, as stated earlier, came in at $1.01, down from $1.05 a year ago. New Equipment was the drag. Sales were flat, but operating profit was down 41% as new-equipment sales in China fell in the "high teens" and productivity investments bit into margins.

Why Otis Lowered Guidance Despite Solid Revenue GrowthOtis didn't touch its sales outlook. Total net sales guidance stays at $15.1B to $15.3B, still framed as "up low to mid-single digits" organically. What moved was cost: management now expects constant-currency adjusted operating profit down $45 million to $15 million for the year, versus a prior call for growth of $20M–$60M. Translate that to EPS, and 2026 guidance lands at $4.01 to $4.05, essentially flat against 2025's $4.05.

The culprit is a familiar one in this earnings season. That is, labor and material cost inflation outrunning pricing gains in the near term. The cut is also due to $20 million in spending to balance micro-pricing against customer retention, and $50 million in productivity and field-cost initiatives that management is choosing to absorb now rather than defer.

Why OTIS Still Appeals to Dividend InvestorsOtis raised its dividend by 5% this quarter and still repurchased approximately $400 million in stock. That brought year-to-date buybacks to approximately $800 million. That’s unchanged from the company’s prior guidance despite the profit cut.

Adjusted free cash flow guidance did dip slightly, to $1.5B–$1.55B from $1.6B–$1.65B, but management isn't pulling back capital return to fund the investment cycle. That should make investors comfortable that Otis is treating margin pressure as a controllable, temporary cost of building future capacity, not a sign of a deteriorating business.

The bet for income-oriented investors is straightforward: get paid a growing dividend to hold through a period where Otis is reinvesting in service quality, pricing discipline, and a backlog that's already up 26%. If modernization and repair volumes convert that backlog into revenue as planned in 2027, today's margin trough becomes tomorrow's operating leverage.

The Biggest Risks Facing OTISTwo consecutive guidance cuts on profitability is not nothing, and "flattish EPS" for a full year is a tough sell to growth investors. Labor and material cost inflation could persist longer than management expects. Also, a slowdown in its New Equipment business, particularly in China, where organic growth fell more than 20% in the first half, remains a genuine drag with no clear inflection point yet.

Otis Stock Tests Key Support After EarningsThe chart tells a story of a stock that’s still looking for a bottom. OTIS peaked near $96 in February 2026 and slid roughly 27% into a low near $70 by June, well below its 50-day SMA, which currently sits at about $72. That’s right where July 22's intraday decline stalled (high of $72.26) before reversing to close at $70.25.

The relative strength index (RSI) reading of 41, below its own 14-period average of 51, shows momentum has rolled over again after a brief attempt to reclaim the 50-day line in July. It's not oversold territory yet, but it's a stock that has repeatedly failed to hold above its 50-day average since March. This is a level bulls will want to see reclaimed and held before calling this a real turn.

OTIS chart displaying a price floor around $72, with RSI of 41.

For now, OTIS looks like a name in a basing pattern: beaten down, dividend-supported, and waiting on either a cost inflection or a technical breakout to confirm the next leg. But investors with a time horizon of over 12 months may be rewarded with growth as the company’s backlog drives future earnings.

Original source text
Why Otis Worldwide Stock Keeps Going UpOtis Worldwide NYSE: OTIS reported stronger second-quarter organic sales growth in 2026, driven by its service business, but lowered parts of its profit outlook as investments in service quality, retention initiatives and productivity pressures weighed on margins.

Chair, CEO and President Judy Marks said the company delivered “a solid quarter with a significant step-up in organic sales growth,” citing accelerating service revenue, improving new equipment trends and strong cash generation. Net sales were $3.9 billion, with organic sales up 6%.

Get Otis Worldwide alerts:

Why Investors Can Ride Otis Worldwide Stock for a Long TimeAdjusted operating profit declined by $32 million in the quarter, excluding a $7 million foreign exchange tailwind, as higher volume and price were offset by inflation, mix and productivity impacts. Adjusted operating margin fell 180 basis points to 15.2%, while adjusted earnings per share declined 4%, or $0.04, due to operational performance, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates.

Service Growth Leads Results, But Margins Decline Otis’ service segment remained the company’s main growth driver. Cristina Mendez, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said service organic sales rose 9% in the quarter, with growth across all lines of business and regions.

Maintenance and repair organic sales increased 6%, including 3% maintenance growth and 12% repair growth. Mendez said repair delivered its strongest performance in the past 10 quarters. Modernization organic sales increased 24%, which she described as the highest growth rate since Otis’ spin-off.

Modernization orders rose 9% in the quarter, helped by significant growth in China and low-single-digit growth in EMEA and Asia Pacific, partly offset by a mid-single-digit decline in the Americas due to a difficult comparison with the prior year. Modernization backlog increased 26% year-over-year at constant currency.

Despite the revenue growth, service operating margin declined 170 basis points from a year earlier to 23.2%. Service operating profit rose $16 million at constant currency to $599 million, as higher volume and pricing more than offset labor costs, strategic investments, productivity headwinds, material costs and unfavorable mix.

Marks said service margins were pressured by labor and material cost increases as Otis ramps operations to execute its repair and modernization backlog. She said the company expects margins to recover in coming quarters as service revenue growth continues.

New Equipment Shows Signs of Stabilization New equipment organic sales declined 1% in the quarter, which Mendez said was the lowest rate of decline in the past nine quarters. Growth in the Americas and Asia Pacific was more than offset by lower sales in China and EMEA.

Americas new equipment sales increased 10%, supported by backlog conversion and orders growth from prior periods. Asia Pacific sales grew in the low single digits, driven by strength in Japan and India and partly offset by lower sales in Korea. EMEA sales declined 4%, primarily due to weakness in the Middle East and Southern Europe. China new equipment sales declined in the high teens, consistent with the backlog decline, though Mendez said the region showed slight sequential improvement.

New equipment orders declined 5% year-over-year. Double-digit growth in the Americas and low-single-digit growth in EMEA were more than offset by declines in Asia Pacific, due to tough comparisons, and in China. New equipment backlog increased 4% year-over-year at constant currency, or 9% excluding China.

New equipment operating profit declined $30 million at constant currency to $40 million, and margin fell 220 basis points to 3.1%. Mendez said the decline reflected lower volume, unfavorable price and mix.

Service Quality Investments Affect Outlook Otis said it is investing in service quality as part of a broader effort to improve customer retention and strengthen its operating model. Marks said the company previously outlined a plan to invest $50 million in service excellence and pricing during 2026. Otis invested $15 million in the second quarter and $30 million in the first half, with another $20 million expected in the second half.

Marks said service quality metrics improved in territories targeted by the program, with the company’s service quality index up seven points in those operating territories. She said some territories also showed retention improvement, though overall retention excluding China was down in the quarter.

Marks said the timing of retention benefits has shifted, prompting Otis to temper its AI micro-pricing implementation in maintenance. She said the company continues to see strong results from micro-pricing in repair, where pricing actions flow through more quickly because repair backlog is typically executed within one or two months.

Mendez said Otis had expected $50 million of incremental price impact this year, including $35 million from repair and $15 million from maintenance. The repair portion remains in the outlook, while the maintenance micro-pricing upside is being balanced against retention concerns.

Otis also cited productivity and cost headwinds. Mendez said the company now anticipates an additional $50 million impact versus its prior outlook, with $30 million related to temporary ramp-up costs for resources and higher labor rates to accelerate execution, and $20 million tied to material inflation and service quality investments.

Full-Year Guidance Revised Otis maintained its 2026 sales outlook, continuing to expect net sales of $15.1 billion to $15.3 billion and organic sales growth in the low- to mid-single-digit range. Marks said the company still expects the global new equipment market to stabilize, with growth in all regions except China, and expects modernization to remain robust with double-digit growth across all regions.

However, Mendez said Otis now expects adjusted operating profit to range from down $30 million to flat on an actual currency basis, and down $45 million to down $15 million at constant currency. The revised outlook reflects retention and tempered maintenance micro-pricing impacts, as well as productivity and cost headwinds.

Adjusted free cash flow is now expected to be between $1.5 billion and $1.55 billion. Adjusted EPS is expected to be in a range of $4.01 to $4.05, reflecting the lower operating profit outlook and a $0.04 negative impact from foreign exchange.

For the third quarter, Mendez said service organic sales are expected to remain strong at mid-single-digit growth, driven mainly by repair and modernization. New equipment organic sales are expected to continue improving sequentially. She said total adjusted operating profit is expected to be roughly flat year-over-year in the third quarter, while adjusted EPS is expected to decline at a level similar to the first half due to tax rate timing.

Cash Flow and Capital Returns Remain Priorities Otis generated adjusted free cash flow of $290 million in the second quarter, up 19% from a year earlier. Marks said the company’s cash generation allows it to invest in growth and strategic investments, including the acquisition of a majority stake in WeMaintain, while returning capital to shareholders.

In the first half of 2026, Otis repurchased approximately $800 million of shares and raised its dividend by 5%, returning more than $1.1 billion to shareholders.

Marks said Otis remains confident in its strategy, pointing to revenue growth, improving service quality metrics and progress on operational initiatives. She said the company is working to standardize field and sales processes across its 1,400 operating territories through a service operating model aimed at improving frontline execution.

“While the timing of retention benefits has shifted and we have observed headwinds in productivity and cost, we are as confident as ever in our strategy and our service flywheel,” Marks said.

Otis Worldwide (OTIS) Q2 Earnings: How Key Metrics Compare to Wall Street Estimates
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
For the quarter ended June 2026, Otis Worldwide (OTIS - Free Report) reported revenue of $3.86 billion, up 7.3% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $1.01, compared to $1.05 in the year-ago quarter.

The reported revenue represents a surprise of +3.71% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.72 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $1.00, the EPS surprise was +1%.

While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.

Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.

Here is how Otis Worldwide performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

OTIS Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Up on Strong Service Growth
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways OTIS beat second-quarter EPS estimates, while revenues rose 7.3% year over year on Service strength.OTIS reported 9% modernization order growth and a 24% increase in modernization backlog at constant currency. OTIS reaffirmed its sales outlook but lowered adjusted operating profit, EPS and free cash flow guidance. Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS - Free Report) reported mixed second-quarter 2026 results, wherein earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate but declined year over year. Meanwhile, net sales surpassed the consensus mark and increased from the prior year's reported figure.

Following the results, OTIS’ shares declined 1.9% during today's pre-market trading session, likely reflecting negative investor sentiment toward its reduced full-year adjusted EPS, adjusted operating profit and free cash flow guidance despite continued strength in the Service business.

Otis' second-quarter performance reflected continued momentum in its Service business, driven by strong modernization and repair activity, accelerating maintenance trends and robust backlog growth. However, higher investments in Service initiatives and continued weakness in the New Equipment business weighed on profitability.

Inside OTIS' Q2 HeadlinesOTIS reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.01, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.00 by 1%. In the year-ago quarter, it reported adjusted EPS of $1.05.

Net sales of $3.86 billion surpassed the consensus mark of $3.72 billion by 3.7% and increased 7.3% from $3.60 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Organic sales increased 6% year over year, led by continued strength in the Service segment. Modernization orders increased 9% at constant currency, while modernization backlog expanded 24% year over year, highlighting healthy demand across the business.

Adjusted operating margin contracted 180 basis points (bps) year over year to 15.2%, reflecting unfavorable segment performance and ongoing investments in strategic Service growth initiatives, partly offset by a favorable business mix.

Segment Details of OTISService: Net sales from the segment increased 11% year over year to $2.58 billion. Organic sales rose 9%, driven by broad-based strength across maintenance, repair and modernization activities. Our model estimated organic sales for the segment to grow 5.4%.

Organic maintenance and repair sales increased 6%, while organic modernization sales jumped 24% from the prior-year quarter.

Segment operating profit increased to $599 million from $578 million a year ago. However, segment operating margin contracted 170 bps year over year to 23.2% as higher labor costs, ongoing investments in strategic Service initiatives, productivity headwinds, material costs and unfavorable mix more than offset higher volume and favorable pricing.

New Equipment: Net sales from the segment were $1.28 billion, flat year over year. Organic sales decreased 1%, reflecting a high-teens decline in China and a mid-single-digit decline in EMEA, partly offset by approximately 10% organic growth in the Americas and low single-digit growth in Asia Pacific. Our model predicted organic sales for the New Equipment segment to decrease 3.3%.

New Equipment orders declined 5% at constant currency, while backlog increased 3% at actual currency and 4% at constant currency.

Segment operating profit declined to $40 million from $68 million in the year-ago quarter. Segment operating margin contracted 220 bps year over year to 3.1%, primarily due to lower volume, unfavorable pricing and adverse mix.

Financial Position of OtisNet cash provided by operating activities totaled $267 million during the second quarter compared with $215 million in the prior-year period.

Free cash flow improved to $223 million from $179 million a year ago, while adjusted free cash flow increased to $290 million from $243 million. During the quarter, the company repurchased approximately $400 million of shares, underscoring its continued focus on returning capital to shareholders.

OTIS Revises 2026 GuidanceOtis reaffirmed its 2026 net sales outlook of $15.1-$15.3 billion, implying approximately 4.6-6% year-over-year growth. Organic sales growth is also still expected in the low to mid-single-digit range.

Organic New Equipment sales are now expected to range from down low single digits to flat, compared with the previous outlook of flat to low single digits. Organic Service sales guidance remained unchanged at mid to high-single-digit growth.

The company lowered its adjusted operating profit outlook to approximately $2.4 billion from the previous expectation of approximately $2.5 billion. Adjusted EPS is now expected in the range of $4.01-$4.05, down from the prior outlook of $4.20-$4.24.

Otis also reduced its adjusted free cash flow guidance to $1.50-$1.55 billion from the previous $1.60-$1.65 billion.

Otis Worldwide (OTIS) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Beat Estimates
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Otis Worldwide (OTIS - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.01 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.05 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +1.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.91 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.89, delivering a surprise of -2.2%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Otis Worldwide, which belongs to the Zacks Manufacturing - General Industrial industry, posted revenues of $3.86 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.71%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3.6 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Otis Worldwide shares have lost about 17.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.7%.

What's Next for Otis Worldwide?While Otis Worldwide has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Otis Worldwide was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.09 on $3.82 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.16 on $15.06 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Manufacturing - General Industrial is currently in the top 26% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Xometry (XMTR - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 4.

This marketplace for on-demand manufacturing is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.36 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +300%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 350% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Xometry's revenues are expected to be $215.54 million, up 32.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Second quarter net sales of $3.9 billion, increased 7% versus the prior year, driven by Service sales with growth in all lines of business.

Second quarter GAAP operating profit of $575 million increased $28 million driven primarily by the absence of UpLift transformation costs, separation-related adjustments, and other non-recurring items in the prior year. Adjusted operating profit of $587 million decreased $25 million at actual currency and $32 million at constant currency, driven by growth in Service more than offset by a decline in New Equipment and other corporate adjustments. GAAP operating profit margin contracted 30 basis points to 14.9% and adjusted operating profit margin of 15.2% declined 180 basis points versus the prior year driven by unfavorable segment performance and other corporate adjustments, partially offset by segment mix. The performance was impacted by ongoing investment in key Service growth initiatives, which were expanded this year to capitalize on strong repair and modernization demand, enhance Service excellence, and build long-term pricing capabilities.

GAAP EPS of $1.12 increased 13% compared to the prior year primarily driven by the absence of UpLift transformation costs, separation-related adjustments, and other non-recurring items in the prior year. Adjusted EPS of $1.01 decreased 4% driven by operational performance, higher interest, and higher tax rate, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates, a lower share count, and lower noncontrolling interest.

See "Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis") reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures (referenced in this press release) to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the attached tables. These tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures. Below are our non-GAAP financial measures:

Non-GAAP measure

Definition

Organic sales

Represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and other significant items of a non-recurring and/or nonoperational nature ("other significant items"). Management believes organic sales is a useful measure in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Adjusted selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense

Represents SG&A expense (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items.

Adjusted operating profit

Represents income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items.

Adjusted net interest expense

Represents net interest expense (a GAAP measure), adjusted for the impacts of non-recurring acquisition related financing costs and related net interest expense pending the completion of a transaction and other significant items.

Adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings

Represents noncontrolling interest in earnings (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted net income

Represents net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted earnings per share ("EPS")

Represents diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders (a GAAP measure), adjusted for the per share impact of restructuring and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted effective tax rate

Represents the effective tax rate (a GAAP measure) adjusted for other significant items and the tax impact of restructuring costs and other significant items.

Constant currency

GAAP financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ("AFX"). We use the non-GAAP measure "at constant currency" or "CFX" to show changes in our financial results without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under U.S. GAAP, income statement results are translated in U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period presented. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Free cash flow

Represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing Otis' ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash flows provided by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted free cash flow

Represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures, adjusted to exclude certain items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Management believes adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity that provides investors additional information regarding the Company's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash flows provided by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that organic sales, adjusted SG&A expense, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and the adjusted effective tax rate are useful measures in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

When we provide our expectations for adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted EPS, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS from continuing operations, operating profit, the effective tax rate, net sales and expected cash flow from operations) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Otis to Report Q2 Earnings: Here's What to Expect This Season
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Otis is expected to post higher Q2 sales, driven by Service growth and modernization demand.OTIS may face lower earnings from labor, material, tariff and geopolitical cost pressures.OTIS' Q2 EPS estimate slipped to $1.00, while revenues are projected to rise 3.5% year over year. Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2026 results on July 22, before the opening bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.2%, while net sales topped it by 2%. On a year-over-year basis, the bottom line declined 3.3%, while the top line grew 6.4%.

OTIS’ earnings surpassed the consensus mark in two of the trailing four quarters, missed on one occasion and met on the remaining occasion, with an average surprise of 1.4%.

How Are Estimates Placed for OTIS Stock?For the second quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share (EPS) has trended downward to $1.00 from $1.01 in the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 4.8% decline from the year-ago adjusted EPS of $1.05.

The consensus mark for net sales is pegged at $3.72 billion, indicating 3.5% growth from the year-ago figure of $3.6 billion.

Key Factors to Note for OTIS’ Q2 EarningsSales

Otis’ second-quarter top line is likely to have gained year over year, driven by the increased contributions from the Service segment (which contributed 67.8% to first-quarter 2026 net sales). The Service segment is expected to have gained due to favorable market trends for maintenance and repair demand, alongside an improvement in the modernization business. The company’s focus on its modernization strategy has been boding well for its prospects and is likely to have added incremental value to its orders and backlog during the quarter, thus boosting the top line.

Besides, the company’s investments in digital connectivity and product innovation are likely to have added to the top-line growth. Recent initiatives like Otis ROBUST and Viva Solutions, alongside major investments in WeMaintain, an AI-enabled service provider, support long-term differentiation and higher-value service opportunities for OTIS.

However, weak performance in the New Equipment segment (which contributed 32.2% to first-quarter 2026 net sales) is likely to have restricted the top-line growth to some extent during the second quarter due to ongoing demand softness and pricing pressure, mainly in China and the broader Asia Pacific region.

For the second quarter, our Zacks model predicts the Service segment’s net sales to increase year over year by 7.5% to $2.49 billion, with the New Equipment segment’s net sales declining 2.5% to $1.24 billion.

Margins

The bottom line of OTIS is expected to have decreased in the second quarter due to elevated labor and material costs, investments in field and sales resources, and an unfavorable portfolio mix toward lower-value units. Ongoing tariff uncertainties, shipment delays linked to geopolitical issues, project delays in the Middle East and growing inflationary pressures are likely to have been taking a toll on OTIS’ margins and profitability structure.

Although through the UpLift transformation, Otis continues to enhance operating efficiency and cost structure, the current macro headwinds are pulling back near-term profitability prospects.

We expect the adjusted operating margin in the Service and New Equipment segments to contract 100 basis points (bps) and 180 bps year over year to 23.9% and 3.5%, respectively.

Moreover, the selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the quarter are likely to have increased due to annual wage increases, higher costs from organizational initiatives, costs supporting ongoing operational execution and the impacts from foreign exchange. For the to-be-reported quarter, our model expects SG&A expenses to increase year over year by 4.3% to $520.6 million.

What Our Model Unveils for OTISOur proven model does not predict an earnings beat for Otis this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. However, it is not the case here.

OTIS’ Earnings ESP: The company has an Earnings ESP of -0.57%. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Analysts Estimate Otis Worldwide (OTIS) to Report a Decline in Earnings: What to Look Out for
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Otis Worldwide (OTIS - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 22. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.00 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -4.8%.

Revenues are expected to be $3.72 billion, up 3.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.16% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Otis Worldwide?For Otis Worldwide, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.57%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Otis Worldwide will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Otis Worldwide would post earnings of $0.91 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.89, delivering a surprise of -2.20%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Otis Worldwide doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Otis Brazil Completes Elevator Modernization at Christ the Redeemer; Begins Installing New Escalators, Inclined Elevators to Improve Accessibility to Monument
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
22 years after installation, the Otis elevators and escalators at the monument are being upgraded to enhance performance and accessibility for all visitors, particularly people with limited mobility.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Otis Brazil, part of Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS), the world's leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation, service and modernization company, has completed comprehensive technical upgrades to the three elevators that connect visitors who access Alto Corcovado through the Corcovado Train to see Christ the Redeemer, a monument located in the Tijuca National Park, in Rio de Janeiro.

Otis installed the original elevators and escalators at Christ the Redeemer in 2003, and has maintained them ever since. Now, Otis is undertaking a comprehensive modernization of both systems to enhance performance, durability and accessibility for visitors. Otis will also install four new escalators and two inclined elevators at the iconic site, further enhancing accessibility to the world-renowned monument. The execution of this improvement project is commissioned by the concessionaire Trem do Corcovado, based on a revitalization plan established by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), which manages the National Park.

"We are proud to safely move millions of passengers every year to Christ the Redeemer, supporting their journey to one of the world's most iconic landmarks. This next phase reflects our focus on advancing the performance of existing systems and introducing new solutions — enhancing reliability and expanding access to ensure every visitor can experience Alto Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer with greater confidence and ease," said Álvaro Netto, Managing Director of Otis Brazil. "Our ongoing maintenance and attention to detail, familiarity with the equipment and customer responsiveness ensure these systems perform well over time, minimizing future disruptions and reinforcing the trust our customers have placed in us for more than two decades."

Otis Brazil originally installed the elevators and escalators at Christ the Redeemer, in the Tijuca National Park, in 2003 and has maintained them ever since. Building on this long-standing relationship, Otis is now undertaking a comprehensive modernization of both systems to enhance performance, durability and accessibility for visitors.

The three Otis Gen2® elevators that transport visitors to and from the different levels of Alto Corcovado have undergone a comprehensive modernization, including the replacement of machinery and controls, as well as the installation of new signage, fixtures, and buttons. Now, the escalators that carry visitors up the monument will be replaced with four new Otis Public Escalators, designed for durability in outdoor environments, as well as two inclined elevators customized specifically for this project. These inclined elevators will provide important accessibility for passengers with limited mobility, who may not have previously been able to access the monument by escalator or stairs.

This year marks the 120th anniversary of Otis operations in Brazil.

Otis introduces Gen3™ elevator modernisation solutions in EMEA
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Enables building owners to improve the safety and reliability of their elevators and provide better passenger experience. Suitable for elevators already equipped with belts; and offers options to transition rope-based systems to coated steel belt-based systems. , /PRNewswire/ -- Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS), the global leader in the manufacture, installation, service and modernisation of elevators and escalators, today announced the introduction of Otis Gen3 MOD solutions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Otis Gen3 MOD solutions are already available in the U.S., Canada and Asia.

All Otis Gen3 MOD solutions are powered by Otis' signature technologies, giving customers flexibility to choose the scope and pace of their elevator modernisation. These solutions enable building owners to update their vertical mobility systems with the digitally native Otis Gen3 elevator platform for modernisation projects, helping extend equipment lifespan while improving performance, reliability and passenger experience compared to their existing systems.

There are more than six million elevators in use in Europe today. In many European countries, more than half of these are over 25 years old1, while building managers begin considering modernisation when equipment reaches 15 to 20 years of service. Otis Gen3 MOD is Otis' next-generation elevator modernisation solution designed to upgrade existing systems to align with the latest safety regulations of the relevant region and updated technologies.

All Otis Gen3 MOD solutions are powered by Otis' signature technologies, giving customers flexibility to choose the scope and pace of their elevator modernisation.

The Otis Gen3 MOD solutions can upgrade legacy belt systems and facilitate the transition from traditional rope systems to Otis' patented coated steel belt technology, an innovation that delivers smooth rides and quiet operation. Otis experts will guide you through every step – from early planning to installation and ongoing service.

Further enhancing modernisation value, Otis Gen3 MOD solutions are compatible with Otis Viva™ solutions – a purpose-built set of elevator features that improve safety, reliability and offer more instinctive operation features for aging populations. As global populations continue to age, accessible and reliable mobility solutions are increasingly necessary. Together, Gen3 MOD and Otis Viva solutions help building owners and decision makers enhance accessibility and reliability of their equipment.

"Modernisation is a powerful way to transform how people experience a building every day: enhancing performance and reliability and bringing in the latest technology and safety features to create a smoother and more connected passenger journey," said Thibault Lefébure, President of Otis EMEA. "The flexible Otis Gen3 MOD packages allow customers to tailor modernisation solutions to their building's needs and investment strategy. Complementing our Otis Viva and Otis Gen3 new equipment solutions, modernisation packages offer a comprehensive and scalable range of accessible and future-ready vertical mobility technologies that contribute to enhancing everyday experiences by improving passenger flow, comfort, and helping people connect and thrive."

Visit www.otis.com for full details and to learn more about our complete portfolio of modernisation solutions.

Otis Gen3 MOD FAQs:

What are the key features and benefits of the Otis Gen3 MOD solution?

Otis Gen3 elevators feature safety technologies that comply with the latest and most stringent safety standards of the relevant region. Modern floor-leveling and door systems reduce tripping hazards. The patented coated steel belt technology does not require any lubrication and delivers smooth, quiet rides. Otis ReGen™ drive technology recaptures energy generated by the elevator and returns it to the building's grid, with actual energy savings depending on various factors, such as the use and configuration of the elevator. The Otis ONE™ IoT digital platform2 enables predictive maintenance, real-time health monitoring, and remote intervention where permitted – helping to improve uptime and service quality. The Otis eView™ sleek and smart in-car display offers customised screens with building news, weather and equipment updates, while also connecting passengers via voice or video calls to the OTISLINE® customer care centre in case of an emergency. The Gen3 platform is equipped with gearless machines which, depending on the existing solution, may free additional space in the building when choosing a machine room-less Pro or Full Replacement package. The optional Otis Compass® 360 dispatching technology supports efficient building traffic flows and provides usage data, helping building owners identify opportunities for potential energy savings through optimised dispatching. What Otis Gen3 modernisation options are available?
Three flexible packages address customers' different modernisation needs:

Plus includes core upgrades noted above, such as a controller with the Otis ONE2 IoT digital platform and the Otis ReGen drive, an Otis eView display, landing fixtures and hall signage, a gearless machine and Otis Pulse™ electronic system that monitors the condition of the belts 24/7, as well as coated steel belts with car and counterweight interfaces. Pro3 includes all upgrades available in the Plus package, along with a newly installed elevator car featuring a refreshed interior design. The new elevator car includes a new frame, safety gear system, and car door system. The Pro package also offers a new counterweight, an overspeed governor and new guiderails for both the car and counterweight. Full Replacement provides a new Otis Gen3 elevator within the existing hoistway. Where space permits, a larger car can be installed to help improve accessibility and enhance the comfort of passengers. Your Otis representative will help plan your options.  What is the difference between Otis Arise™ MOD and Otis Gen3 MOD solutions?
Otis Arise MOD and Otis Gen3 MOD solutions incorporate connected technologies, including IoT-enabled capabilities, to improve elevator safety, performance and reliability. However, they differ in their underlying technology, and upgrade path:

Otis Arise MOD, introduced in EMEA in September 2025, is designed for elevators that utilise conventional rope-based systems and offers a flexible, phased modernisation approach, enabling building owners to upgrade key components over time based on their operational priorities and budget. It focuses on delivering incremental improvements to safety, reliability and performance, while extending the life of existing equipment with minimal disruption. Otis Gen3 MOD, our flagship elevator platform technology, supports both existing belt-driven systems and conversions from rope to Otis' coated steel belt technology, upgrading elevators to the digitally native Gen3 platform. It delivers a more comprehensive modernisation, with deeper system integration, enhanced performance, and an advanced passenger experience. About Otis

These 3 Stocks Could Still Be Winning Investments When You Retire. Warren Buffett Would Likely Agree, Too.
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
We often encourage investors to think long-term, and to invest long-term, aiming to hang on to your stocks for many years, if not decades. It can be hard to think long-term, though, in this age of artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing, and cryptocurrencies. Everything seems to be changing so fast, it can seem hard to pinpoint businesses that are very likely to prosper for a long time.

There are some such companies, though, which should keep rewarding you until you retire -- and beyond. They're the kinds of companies that Warren Buffett would probably appreciate, as he has said that he likes to have a good idea of where the company will be in the years ahead. Here are three such companies to mull over.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Berkshire Hathaway My first suggestion is Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA +0.33%) (BRKB +0.06%). It's in a new phase, as 95-year-old Buffett has stepped down and Greg Abel is the new CEO. Many expect Abel to follow in Buffett's footsteps, and he is already continuing Buffett's habit of repurchasing shares when they seem sufficiently undervalued.

I believe that Berkshire will be in good shape many years from now because it was intentionally built to last, and many of its dozens of subsidiaries are in sturdy industries -- such as transportation and energy. These businesses include GEICO, Benjamin Moore, Dairy Queen, McLane, and the entire BNSF railroad, along with sizable chunks of other companies, such as Apple, Chevron, American Express, Coca-Cola, and Bank of America. Thanks to many of Berkshire's stock holdings, it collects billions of dollars in dividend income annually.

With a recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.6 a bit below the five-year average of 21.2, the stock seems slightly undervalued.

2. Otis Worldwide Next, consider Otis Worldwide (OTIS +0.76%), which is in a business that isn't likely to be replaced by AI. It has specialized in elevators since 1853, and it has grown to a recent market value of nearly $31 billion. It's a dividend-paying stock, too, recently yielding 2.2%, and its dividend payout has doubled over the past five years. This isn't a fast-growing company -- its last quarter featured net revenue up 3% year over year and adjusted earnings per share up 11% -- but it's one that can deliver a meaningful income stream now and into your retirement years.

Otis's business model doesn't just involve selling elevator systems -- it also updates them and services them, which results in considerable recurring income. (In its last quarter, maintenance and repair revenue was up 7% year over year.) Like Berkshire, Otis has also been buying back lots of shares, leading to a total yield for shareholders of 4.8%.

Otis's stock is looking appealingly priced, too, at recent levels, with a recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 17.7, well below the five-year average of 23.3.

3. Waste Management In a similar vein, WM (WM +0.36%) -- the company formerly known as Waste Management -- is also likely to be delivering for shareholders decades from now. Changing times aren't likely to change our need for garbage collection and recycling services, and WM is America's largest solid waste services business.

WM has been growing at a good clip, averaging annual gains of nearly 14% over the past 15 years, and it's a solid dividend payer, as well. Its dividend yield was recently 1.45% -- and that payout has averaged annual increases of 10% over the past five years.

The stock seems a bit overvalued at recent levels, with a recent forward P/E ratio of 28.2, above the five-year average of 27.5. But that's not a huge premium, and this company is likely to reward shareholders for a long time.

If these companies don't interest you sufficiently, know that there are plenty of other compelling stocks out there, too.

Otis Worldwide (OTIS) Reports Next Week: What Awaits?
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Wall Street expects flat earnings compared to the year-ago quarter on higher revenues when Otis Worldwide (OTIS - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 22, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.92 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter.

Revenues are expected to be $3.51 billion, up 4.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.96% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Otis Worldwide?For Otis Worldwide, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -2.27%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Otis Worldwide will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Otis Worldwide would post earnings of $1.03 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.03, delivering no surprise.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Otis Worldwide doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Otis Worldwide to Report Q1 Earnings: Here's What You Need to Know
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Otis Q1 EPS estimate cut to $0.92 from $0.95 in 30 days; sales seen at $3.51B, up 4.7% YoY.OTIS Service segment drives growth via maintenance, repair and modernization, with repair nearing 10% growth.OTIS Service segment drives growth via maintenance, repair and modernization, with repair nearing 10% growth. Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2026 results on April 22, 2026, before the opening bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, but net sales missed the same. Meanwhile, on a year-over-year basis, both top and bottom lines grew 3.3% and 10.8%, respectively.

OTIS’ earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise of 2.3%.

Trend in Otis’ Estimate RevisionFor the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for adjusted earnings per share (EPS) has trended downward to 92 cents from 95 cents in the past 30 days. The estimated figure remains flat year over year.

The consensus mark for net sales is pegged at $3.51 billion, indicating 4.7% growth from the year-ago figure of $3.35 billion.

Key Factors to Note for OTIS’ Q1 EarningsNet SalesOtis’ first-quarter net sales are likely to have increased year over year, supported by robust operational growth in the Service segment (which contributed 65.4% of 2025 net sales). Service organic sales growth is expected to have been supported by solid execution in maintenance and repair, along with steady modernization activity backed by a strong backlog. Repair activity is likely to have shown acceleration, with management expecting growth to move toward 10% or higher, supported by rising demand linked to an aging installed base and improving execution in the field.

Modernization revenues are also expected to have contributed, driven by backlog conversion and sustained demand trends across regions. However, the pace of conversion might vary due to project timing and execution cycles, particularly in larger or multi-year projects.

In contrast, New Equipment sales (which contributed 34.6% of 2025 net sales) are expected to have remained under pressure. The segment is likely to have declined year over year, broadly in line with recent trends, as continued weakness in China offsets growth across other regions. While orders and backlog trends outside China remain supportive, lower volumes and pricing pressure in China are expected to have weighed on overall performance.

Overall, sales growth is expected to have remained modest, with service-driven expansion partially offset by continued softness in New Equipment.

For the first quarter, our model predicts the Service segment’s net sales to increase year over year by 10.2% to $2.41 billion, with the New Equipment segment’s net sales declining 5% to $1.1 billion.

MarginsOn the margin front, service mix is expected to have remained as a key support. Higher service volumes, pricing actions and productivity initiatives are likely to have supported margins, even as continued investments in service excellence and field resources limit near-term expansion.

Repair growth is expected to have supported profitability given its higher-margin nature, while modernization margins have been improving with scale. The mix between repair and modernization might have influenced overall margin performance in the quarter.

New Equipment margins are expected to have remained a headwind due to lower volumes, pricing pressure in China and tariff impacts, with only partial support from productivity and restructuring benefits.

Overall, earnings are expected to remain broadly flat year over year, reflecting steady service-driven support offset by continued pressure in New Equipment and ongoing investments.

We expect the adjusted operating margin in the New Equipment segment to decrease year over year to 5.1% from 5.7%, while the same for the Service segment is anticipated to grow 100 basis points to 25.6%.

Our model predicts adjusted EBITDA during the quarter to be up year over year by 0.8% to $606.5 million, with the adjusted EBITDA margin to contract 70 bps to 17.8%.

What Our Model Unveils for OTISOur proven model does not predict an earnings beat for Otis this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here.

OTIS’ Earnings ESP: OTIS has an Earnings ESP of -1.01%. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Zacks Rank of Otis: Currently, the company carries a Zacks Rank of 3.

Stocks With the Favorable CombinationHere are some stocks from the Zacks Industrial Products sector, which, per our model, have the right combination of elements to deliver an earnings beat this time around.

ATS Corporation (ATS - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +1.05% and a Zacks Rank of 3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

The company’s earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 9.7%. In the to-be-reported quarter, ATS Corporation’s earnings are expected to register a 14.3% year-over-year increase.

Deere & Company (DE - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +6.24% and a Zacks Rank of 3.

The company’s earnings beat estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed on the remaining one occasion, the average surprise being 11.3%. In the to-be-reported quarter, Deere’s earnings are expected to register a 12.7% year-over-year decrease.

Kennametal (KMT - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +5.88% and a Zacks Rank of 1.

The company’s earnings beat estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed on the remaining one occasion, the average surprise being 35.4%. In the to-be-reported quarter, Kennametal’s earnings are expected to register a 44.7% year-over-year increase.

First quarter net sales of $3.6 billion increased 6% versus the prior year, driven primarily by Service sales with growth in all lines of business, partially offset by a decrease in New Equipment sales in China and Asia Pacific.

First quarter GAAP operating profit of $539 million increased $128 million driven primarily by a favorable comparison due to UpLift transformation costs, separation-related adjustments, and other non-recurring items in the prior year. Adjusted operating profit of $550 million decreased $10 million at actual currency and $38 million at constant currency, driven by declines in both segments. GAAP operating profit margin expanded 280 basis points to 15.1% and adjusted operating profit margin of 15.4% declined 130 basis points versus the prior year driven by unfavorable segment performance partially offset by segment mix. The performance was impacted by an unfavorable year‑over‑year comparison due to tariff impacts versus the prior year, continued Service investments that began in the second quarter of last year and accelerated this year to support strong repair and modernization order momentum, and shipment delays in New Equipment and modernization related to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.

GAAP EPS of $0.87 increased 43% compared to the prior year primarily driven by a favorable comparison due to UpLift transformation costs, separation-related adjustments, and other non-recurring items in the prior year. Adjusted EPS of $0.89 decreased 3% driven by operational performance, higher interest, and higher taxes, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates and a lower share count.

See "Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

About Otis
Otis is the world's leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation, service and modernization company. We move 2.5 billion people a day and maintain approximately 2.5 million customer units worldwide, the industry's largest Service portfolio. Headquartered in Connecticut, USA, Otis is 72,000 people strong, including 45,000 field professionals, all committed to manufacturing, installing and maintaining products to meet the diverse needs of our customers and passengers in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis") reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures (referenced in this press release) to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the attached tables. These tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures. Below are our non-GAAP financial measures:

Non-GAAP measure

Definition

Organic sales

Represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and other significant items of a non-recurring and/or nonoperational nature ("other significant items"). Management believes organic sales is a useful measure in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Adjusted selling, general and

administrative ("SG&A") expense

Represents SG&A expense (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items.

Adjusted operating profit

Represents income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items.

Adjusted net interest expense

Represents net interest expense (a GAAP measure), adjusted for the impacts of non-recurring acquisition related financing costs and related net interest expense pending the completion of a transaction and other significant items.

Adjusted noncontrolling interest in

earnings

Represents noncontrolling interest in earnings (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted net income

Represents net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted earnings per share ("EPS")

Represents diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders (a GAAP measure), adjusted for the per share impact of restructuring and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted effective tax rate

Represents the effective tax rate (a GAAP measure) adjusted for other significant items and the tax impact of restructuring costs and other significant items.

Constant currency

GAAP financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ("AFX"). We use the non-GAAP measure "at constant currency" or "CFX" to show changes in our financial results without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under U.S. GAAP, income statement results are translated in U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period presented. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Free cash flow

Represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing Otis' ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash flows provided by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted free cash flow

Represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures, adjusted to exclude certain items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Management believes adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity that provides investors additional information regarding the Company's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash flows provided by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that organic sales, adjusted SG&A expense, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and the adjusted effective tax rate are useful measures in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

When we provide our expectations for adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted EPS, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS from continuing operations, operating profit, the effective tax rate, net sales and expected cash flow from operations) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Otis Worldwide (OTIS) Lags Q1 Earnings Estimates
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Otis Worldwide (OTIS - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.89 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.91 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.92 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -2.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $1.03 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.03, delivering no surprise.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Otis Worldwide, which belongs to the Zacks Manufacturing - General Industrial industry, posted revenues of $3.57 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.99%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3.35 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Otis Worldwide shares have lost about 9.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.2%.

What's Next for Otis Worldwide?While Otis Worldwide has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Otis Worldwide was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.04 on $3.74 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.21 on $15.01 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Manufacturing - General Industrial is currently in the bottom 33% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, DNOW (DNOW - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026.

This energy and industrial distribution company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -77.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 10% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

DNOW's revenues are expected to be $1.13 billion, up 88.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Otis Worldwide Q1 Earnings Fall Short of Estimates, Sales Beat
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Otis Worldwide's Q1 Service grew broadly, led by repairs, while modernization orders and backlog improved.Otis Worldwide said healthy modernization orders and a growing backlog boost visibility into future revenues.Otis Worldwide said tariffs, Service investments and Mideast delays pressured margins, trimming earnings. Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS - Free Report) reported mixed first-quarter 2026 results, wherein earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and declined year over year. Meanwhile, net sales surpassed the same and increased from the prior year's reported figure.

Otis Worldwide’s first-quarter results reflected broad-based momentum in Service, led by repair activity, alongside solid order and backlog improvement in the modernization business. The company has emphasized actions around operational execution, pricing and cost efficiency as it works to monetize investments and improve margin performance in the coming quarters.

However, management attributed the margin pressure to tariff impacts relative to the prior year, continued Service investments that began in the second quarter of last year and accelerated this year, and shipment delays tied to geopolitical disruption in the Middle East.

Inside OTIS’ Q1 HeadlinesOTIS reported earnings per share (EPS) of 89 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 91 cents by 2.2%. In the year-ago quarter, it had reported an adjusted EPS of 92 cents.

Net sales of $3.57 billion surpassed the consensus mark of $3.5 billion by 2% and increased 6.4% on a year-over-year basis. Organically, net sales were up 1% year over year. Favorable foreign exchange movement supported sales growth by 5%. A standout in the quarter was repair, with net sales up 16% at actual currency and organic repair sales up about 10%.

Adjusted operating margin contracted 130 basis points year over year to 15.4%, reflecting weaker segment performance, partially offset by a favorable segment mix. Our model predicted the adjusted operating margin to decrease 70 bps (basis points) year over year to 16%.

Segment Details of OTISService: The net sales of this segment increased 11% year over year to $2.42 billion. A 5% rise in organic sales was accompanied by a 5% favorable foreign exchange movement. Organic maintenance and repair sales increased 4%, and organic modernization sales rose 6% from the year-ago quarter. Our model estimated organic sales for the segment to grow 10.2%. The Modernization backlog at constant currency increased 30% year over year.

Segment operating margin contracted 160 bps year over year to 23% due to higher volume and favorable pricing, which were more than offset by higher labor and material costs, investments and mix effects.

New Equipment: This segment’s net sales of $1.15 billion fell 1% from the prior-year period. Organic sales declined 5%. Our model predicted organic sales for the New Equipment segment to decrease 5%.

New Equipment orders rose 1% at constant currency, with more than 20% strength in the Americas and low single-digit growth in EMEA, partially offset by more than 20% decline in the Asia Pacific and a low teens decline in China. The segment’s backlog increased 6% at actual currency and 3% at constant currency, providing some support for future revenue conversion despite near-term delivery challenges.

Segment operating margin contracted 240 bps year over year to 3.3%. The downtrend was due to the impacts of lower volume, unfavorable price, and mix, which was partially offset by productivity tailwinds.

Financial Position of OTISOtis Worldwide had cash and cash equivalents of $834 million as of March 31, 2026, down from $1.1 billion reported at 2025-end. Long-term debt decreased to $6.88 billion as of March 31, 2026, from $6.9 billion at the end of 2025.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $413 million as of March 31, 2026, up from $190 million a year ago.

Adjusted free cash flow (FCF) totaled $272 million as of March 31, 2026, up from $186 million a year ago.

OTIS Revises 2026 GuidanceThe company expects net sales in the range of $15.1-$15.3 billion (up from the prior outlook of $15-$15.3 billion), implying approximately 4.6%-6% year-over-year growth. Organic sales growth is still projected in the low- to mid-single-digit range.

Organic New Equipment sales are now expected to range from low single digits to flat (previously projected as flat to low single digits), while Organic Service sales are still anticipated to grow in the mid- to high-single-digit range.

Q & A Highlights Q: Can you explain the expected progression of service margin expansion throughout 2026?
A: Cristina Mendez, CFO, explained that service margins started at 23% in Q1 with a 160 basis point decline. They expect sequential improvement, with Q2 margins around 24%, stabilizing in Q3, and returning to margin expansion in Q4. Full-year margins should be slightly below 2025 levels. This progression is due to actions like pricing adjustments and strong backlog in modernization and repair.

Q: Regarding maintenance growth, is the 3% growth target for the full year or just the exit rate?
A: Judith Marks, CEO, clarified that the 3% growth is for the full year. The focus is on higher-value parts of the portfolio, with investments in service excellence and personnel to drive this growth. Retention rates have stabilized, and they are confident in achieving the 3% growth target.

Q: What challenges did Otis face in the high-value markets in Q1?
A: Judith Marks noted that the biggest challenge was in Europe, where they didn't see significant portfolio gains. This region represents half of their portfolio, and the team is focused on ensuring portfolio gains in high-revenue countries. The war in the Middle East was not a factor in this challenge.

Q: How does the acquisition of WeMaintain address concerns about ISPs competing with OEMs?
A: Judith Marks explained that WeMaintain is a digitally native ecosystem that uses AI and machine learning to enhance customer service. This complements Otis ONE and provides access to non-Otis units. The acquisition is expected to drive long-term value and growth.

Q: Can you provide more details on the repair business and its growth prospects?
A: Judith Marks highlighted that the repair business is non-discretionary and growing due to the aging installed base. It is the highest-margin product offering, with both reactive and proactive repair driving growth. Cristina Mendez added that repair is the second-largest activity within the service segment and is very accretive to profit.

OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Students from schools in Athens, Greece and Hong Kong SAR win STEM and AI competition with concepts to help people during natural disasters

, /PRNewswire/ -- With their ideas to use advanced technology to support city officials, first responders and residents before and during natural disasters, student teams from Hong Kong and Athens, Greece were named co‑champions of Otis' Made to Move Communities™ student challenge, in recognition of the exceptional strength and impact of both teams' solutions. Otis (NYSE: OTIS) is the world's leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation, service and modernization company.

Students from HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College in Hong Kong SAR and Geniko Lyceum Filothei in Athens, Greece are global co-champions in this year’s Otis Made to Move Communities challenge, with their concepts to use advanced technology to support city officials, first responders and residents before and during natural disasters. "Congratulations to the student teams from and HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College and Geniko Lyceum Filothei, this year's co‑champions of our Made to Move Communities global challenge. Their projects reflect not only technical ingenuity and creativity, but also a clear focus on helping vulnerable communities and first responders when it matters most," said Randi Tanguay, Otis Chief Communications Officer. "The students — with support from their mentors — demonstrate the confidence and capability of a new generation, ready to apply technology with thoughtfulness and purpose. We hope they continue exploring, identifying challenges, and finding ways to use technology to help their communities connect and thrive."

About this year's challenge: A focus on natural disasters

The annual Made to Move Communities program inspires students to address real-world mobility challenges aligned with global trends and areas where Otis' business expertise can make meaningful impact. This year's theme focused on natural disasters, as students applied STEM skills and AI-driven thinking to develop mobility solutions to help vulnerable populations and first responders react to increasingly frequent and severe events.

The team from Geniko Lyceum Filothei in Filothei, Athens, Greece developed a concept for an AI-enabled container that tracks rainfall fluctuation and resultant water levels and activates a preventive response system to alert local emergency management personnel and protect vulnerable residents during flood risk events.

The team from HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College in Hong Kong SAR developed a concept for a combined AI and augmented reality system to help first responders see and stay connected in smoke-filled, low-visibility situations.

More than 200 high school students from 18 schools in 14 countries and territories participated in this year's Made to Move Communities challenge.

Continuing STEM education

As global co-champions, the students at HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College and Geniko Lyceum Filothei earned $35,000 in grants for each of their respective schools.

"This achievement reflects the creativity, curiosity and hard work our students bring to everything they do," said Lin Chun Pong, Principal of HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College. "They've transformed classroom learning into a practical solution with the potential to address real challenges beyond our school walls, and that's an experience that will stay with them. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishment."

"It has been inspiring to watch these students grow and apply technical and critical‑thinking skills to real‑world challenges," said Petros Matzakos, Principal of Geniko Lyceum Filothei. "We are incredibly proud of their achievement and thankful to our staff and the Otis volunteer mentors who made this experience — and future opportunities — possible."

Over the past several months, the student teams worked alongside more than 150 Otis mentors to develop and refine their concepts, presenting them to panels of Otis judges across the company's four regions: Americas, Asia Pacific, Greater China and EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa). Four regional winners then went on to compete in a final, global competition, judged by members of the Otis Executive Leadership Team.

What are the goals of the Made to Move Communities program?

The Made to Move Communities program brings together students, educators and Otis colleagues as mentors, with the goals of advancing STEM and leadership skills to help build the next generation of talent, ensuring future workforce readiness and sustaining innovation.

What is the community impact of the Made to Move Communities program?

Since 2020, Made to Move Communities has engaged over 1,000 Otis colleagues in mentoring more than 1,250 students, and delivered 145 grants totaling nearly $1.5 million to support ongoing STEM education at participating schools.

Why is the Made to Move Communities program focused on natural disasters this year?

Each year, Otis identifies a theme grounded in global trends and areas where its business expertise can make meaningful impact, such as aging populations, accessibility or emerging technology.

Elevator mechanics can make over $150,000, and this CEO says they can't hire them fast enough
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News

Otis CEO Judy Marks said the company can't hire elevator mechanics fast enough. Bloomberg/Getty Images In an era of rampant layoffs, it can feel like no job is safe.

Except, perhaps, elevator mechanics.

Judy Marks is the CEO of elevator giant Otis and oversees a workforce of roughly 72,000 employees. That includes about 45,000 mechanics — and she says the company can't hire them fast enough.

"The demand is high," Marks told Business Insider.

When Otis spun off from its parent company in April 2020, it employed about 40,000 of these field professionals. Today, that number has increased by about 12.5% to 45,000, Otis said. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that elevator and escalator installers and repairers will grow by 5% between 2024 and 2034, which is 2% above the average for all occupations.

Beyond installing elevators and escalators, mechanics also maintain and repair equipment, she said. In some markets, including Japan, she said a declining population combined with a boom in refurbishment and construction has made hiring a challenge.

Mechanics also don't have to worry about losing their jobs to automation in the immediate future. As a regulated industry in most countries, Marks said humans are essential to the job. The role requires years of training and physical labor, which hasn't been easily replaced by robots so far.

"This is truly a craft skill," Marks said.

A long-term careerMany skilled-trade jobs have been on the rise in recent years. LinkedIn released data last year that revealed construction was the fastest-growing industry for new college grads. In 2026, it ranked construction fifth among the fastest-growing industries for new grads.

Marks said elevator mechanics, in particular, tend to stay in the profession for decades. She said Otis has roughly as many mechanics with zero to five years of experience as it does workers who have been with the company for more than 30 years.

"We don't have this kind of 'silver cliff' that's coming," Marks said, referring to how some older workers struggle in other trades.

"Most of them stay in the trade the rest of their life, and a lot of them, their fathers or mothers or grandfathers were in it."

In the US, Otis elevator mechanics are represented through a multi-employer union. Marks said it offers an apprenticeship for people starting at 18 years old, working for Otis during the day as helpers while attending elevator service school at night. After completing a four-year apprenticeship and passing a mechanic's exam, workers achieve journeyman status in the trade.

One of the highest-paying trade jobsElevator mechanics sit at the top of the pay scale when it comes to trade jobs.

The BLS released data on Friday that found that elevator and escalator installers and repairers earned the highest average salary among construction and extraction occupations in May 2025, at $109,820, with the 90th percentile at $158,890. That's well above both the category's average wage of $65,360 and the overall US average wage of $69,770, according to the report.

Other top-paying trades in the category included first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers, who earned an average of $86,450, and terrazzo workers and finishers, who made $84,920, the report said.

In addition to solid pay, elevator mechanic roles at Otis also include eligibility for paid college tuition.

"When they come out and come work for us, I'll pay if they want to go to college," Marks said.

Otis Unveils New Commercial Escalator Modernization Packages
OTIS Otis Worldwide Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
­Includes options for factory preassembled modules to streamline installation time Offers modernization packages for commercial escalators that improve safety and reliability, and reduce disruption during the modernization process Flexible upgrade options allow customers to select the level of modernization that best fits their building, budget and operational needs , /PRNewswire/ -- Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS), the world's leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation, service and modernization company, has announced the global launch of its Otis Link™ MOD suite of commercial escalator modernization solutions, giving building owners a safer, smarter and more efficient way to upgrade aging escalators.

Otis’ modernization solutions provide improved reliability, less disruption to building operations and tenants, and a clearer more manageable roadmap for long-term performance. Global populations, infrastructure and equipment continue to age. Of the more than 1 million escalators installed globally, predominantly commercial escalators, nearly 20%1 are now in the modernization window, requiring updates to keep pace with evolving safety standards, usage demands and performance expectations. Otis' modernization solutions provide improved reliability, less disruption to building operations and tenants, and a clearer more manageable roadmap for long-term performance.

Otis Link MOD offers a suite of comprehensive upgrade packages, including the new Otis Link MOD Pro package, which delivers a complete modernization of critical commercial escalator components and aesthetics while retaining the existing truss—the escalator's structural backbone. Its modular, factory‑preassembled design streamlines modernization, significantly shortening project timelines. By minimizing on‑site work, the system reduces jobsite hazards and downtime in busy commercial environments and adapts easily to a wide range of building layouts.

"Across the globe, our customers are balancing aging infrastructure with the need to keep people moving safely and reliably every day. That challenge is only intensifying as populations age and demand for buildings – and the systems that support them – continues to grow," said Claire Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Growth Officer, Otis. "Our Otis Link MOD solutions are designed to help customers extend the life and value of their escalators while minimizing disruption to their daily operations, so passengers can continue to move with confidence. By combining advanced technology and engineering with our deep modernization expertise, we're enabling building owners to extend the life of their escalators and deliver a mobility experience that meets modern safety and performance expectations."

The Otis Link MOD suite of solutions includes four packages2 – Link MOD Prime, Link MOD Plus, Link MOD Pro and full replacement with an Otis Link escalator. All Link MOD packages are powered by Otis' industry-leading technology and designed to allow customers to choose the scope and pace of their escalator modernization.

Visit www.otis.com for full details.

What are the benefits of Otis' Link MOD packages?

Enhance Safety

Improved step stability featuring the Otis Step Safety System, engineered to keep escalator steps firmly on their tracks. Optional patented mini moving skirt, designed to help prevent objects from becoming caught (available with full replacement solution). Integrated handrail sanitizing and cleaning options that help reassure users about the cleanliness of the equipment. Minimize the unexpected

Customers are in control, making informed choices about the scope, cost and pace of their escalator modernization with guidance from Otis experts. The Otis Link MOD Pro package offers a modular, pre-assembled design that minimizes disruption on site. Improve performance with technology-driven reliability

The self-adjusting handrail system automatically adjusts the handrail tension while the escalator is running and reduces handrail-related callbacks by over 90% compared to units without this technology.3 An upgraded electronic controller minimizes shutdowns and keeps escalators available when customers need them. The Otis ONE™ IoT platform (where available4) collects and analyzes data from escalators' smart sensors to deliver performance information, proactive communication and predictive insights to Otis' customers, and the field professionals servicing their units. Available in the U.S. and Canada, Otis Link MOD escalators feature a direct drive system that eliminates the traditional drive chain, offering greater flexibility for installation in existing buildings, improved reliability and reduced lubrication needs. Operational features

An intelligent lubrication system reduces oil consumption by adjusting the amount of oil automatically at each lubrication point. A standby or intermittent use mode option reduces downtime, energy consumption and operating costs when the escalator is idle. Bring passenger experience to the next level

Options include aesthetic packages, handrail colors and customizable LED lighting. Seamless support

Otis' highly trained technicians and support teams are available to properly maintain escalators, with a focus on safety, efficiency and reliability. About Otis

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Otis Worldwide (OTIS - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 9.9% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Otis Worldwide due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Otis Worldwide Corporation before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

Otis Worldwide Q1 Earnings Fall Short of Estimates, Sales BeatOtis Worldwide reported mixed first-quarter 2026 results, wherein earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and declined year over year. Meanwhile, net sales surpassed the same and increased from the prior year's reported figure.

Otis Worldwide’s first-quarter results reflected broad-based momentum in Service, led by repair activity, alongside solid order and backlog improvement in the modernization business. The company has emphasized actions around operational execution, pricing and cost efficiency as it works to monetize investments and improve margin performance in the coming quarters.

However, management attributed the margin pressure to tariff impacts relative to the prior year, continued Service investments that began in the second quarter of last year and accelerated this year, and shipment delays tied to geopolitical disruption in the Middle East.

Inside OTIS’ Q1 HeadlinesOTIS reported earnings per share (EPS) of 89 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 91 cents by 2.2%. In the year-ago quarter, it reported an adjusted EPS of 92 cents.

Net sales of $3.57 billion surpassed the consensus mark of $3.5 billion by 2% and increased 6.4% on a year-over-year basis. Organically, net sales were up 1% year over year. Favorable foreign exchange movement supported sales growth by 5%. A standout in the quarter was repair, with net sales up 16% at actual currency and organic repair sales up about 10%.

Adjusted operating margin contracted 130 basis points year over year to 15.4%, reflecting weaker segment performance, partially offset by a favorable segment mix.

Segment Details of OTISService: The net sales of this segment increased 11% year over year to $2.42 billion. A 5% rise in organic sales was accompanied by a 5% favorable foreign exchange movement. Organic maintenance and repair sales increased 4% and organic modernization sales rose 6% from the year-ago quarter. The Modernization backlog at constant currency increased 30% year over year.

Segment operating margin contracted 160 bps year over year to 23% due to higher volume and favorable pricing, which were more than offset by higher labor and material costs, investments and mix effects.

New Equipment: This segment’s net sales of $1.15 billion fell 1% from the prior-year period. Organic sales declined 5%.

New Equipment orders rose 1% at constant currency, with more than 20% strength in the Americas and low single-digit growth in EMEA, partially offset by more than 20% decline in the Asia Pacific and a low teens decline in China. The segment’s backlog increased 6% at actual currency and 3% at constant currency, providing some support for future revenue conversion despite near-term delivery challenges.

Segment operating margin contracted 240 bps year over year to 3.3%. The downtrend was due to the impacts of lower volume, unfavorable price and mix, which was partially offset by productivity tailwinds.

Financial Position of OTISOtis Worldwide had cash and cash equivalents of $834 million as of March 31, 2026, down from $1.1 billion reported at 2025-end. Long-term debt decreased to $6.88 billion as of March 31, 2026, from $6.9 billion at the end of 2025.

OTIS Revises 2026 GuidanceThe company expects net sales in the range of $15.1-$15.3 billion (up from the prior outlook of $15-$15.3 billion), implying approximately 4.6-6% year-over-year growth. Organic sales growth is still projected in the low to mid-single-digit range.

Organic New Equipment sales are now expected to range from low single digits to flat (previously projected as flat to low single digits), while Organic Service sales are still anticipated to grow in the mid to high-single-digit range.

Adjusted operating profit is projected at $2.5 billion (down from the prior range of $2.5-$2.6 billion), now reflecting an increase of $20-$60 million at constant currency and $60-$100 million at actual currency.

Adjusted earnings are forecasted at $4.20-$4.24 per share, while adjusted free cash flow is expected to be between $1.6 billion and $1.65 billion (compared with the earlier outlook of $1.6-$1.7 billion).

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a upward trend in estimates review.

VGM ScoresAt this time, Otis Worldwide has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a score of C on the value side, putting it in the middle 20% for value investors.
