Carrier reported second-quarter 2026 results with modest revenue growth and a stronger outlook for the rest of the year. The company said it is increasing its full-year expectations for sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted earnings per share.
The update pointed to strong order momentum across the business. Total company orders were up about 40%, while commercial HVAC orders climbed roughly 65%. Orders tied to data centers rose by more than 300%, highlighting a major area of demand supporting Carrier's performance.
For the quarter, net sales increased 4%, with organic sales up 3%. Carrier also posted GAAP earnings per share of $0.60 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.86, giving investors a clearer picture of both reported and adjusted profitability in the period.
Overall, the second-quarter report suggests Carrier is benefiting from solid commercial HVAC activity and especially strong data center-related demand. With orders rising sharply and the company lifting its 2026 outlook, the results indicate improving confidence in revenue and profit trends for the remainder of the year.
