Efforts to Boost the Fire & Security Segment
The latest agreements are expected to aid the performance of Carrier’s Fire and Security segment in the days ahead.
Apart from strategic agreements, Carrier is also making strong endeavors to expand the offerings of this particular segment.
Recently, Onity teamed up with Comcast’s MachineQ to roll out a cloud-based smart lock solution by integrating its Passport Locking Solution with the latter’s IoT connectivity solution.
Another Fire and Security brand, Aritech, came up with two updates to its Dual Motion Detectors. These updates include digital pyro and neural algorithm to address the false alarm detection challenge.
Further, the introduction of a video surveillance recorder, namely the TruVision TVN12 by Aritech, remains an upside. The recorder comes with high channel capacities (up to 16), hard drives and different recording options.
Additionally, LenelS2 rolled out an advanced version of its browser-based, access control and event monitoring system called NetBox version 5.6.
Further, the introduction of the new core of land fire protection systems, namely the Marioff HI-FOG Land Pump Unit for land applications, by another brand Marioff remains noteworthy.
We believe all these endeavors are likely to aid the performance of the fire and security segment in the near term.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the segment generated $960 million in revenues, which accounted for 18.8% of the net sales.
We note that the growth prospects of the underlined segment are likely to benefit the overall performance of Carrier. This is likely to instill investors’ optimism in the stock in the days ahead.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter 2023 revenues is pegged at $4.99 billion, indicating growth of 7.2% from the year-ago reported figure.
CARR has dropped 5.6% in the past year compared with the industry’s decline of 25%.
