Trane Technologies plc TT

Three-pass checkedFresh as companies report

Trane bought a data centre cooling company in February and the rest of the market has not repriced the shares for it.

Americas revenue grew 12.3% last quarter, the fastest in two years, on what management calls strong demand in commercial heating and cooling.

The business

Trane makes the equipment that heats and cools large buildings: rooftop units, chillers, air handlers, and the controls that run them, sold to schools, hospitals, offices and factories. Thermo King, the second brand, makes refrigeration for lorries and shipping containers. Roughly 83% of revenue is the Americas.

The commercial business is not a product sale so much as a fifteen-year relationship, because a chiller lasts two decades and the service contract is where the margin compounds.
