Data center construction and broader commercial tailwinds drove robust second-quarter demand across the HVAC industry, benefiting Carrier alongside Johnson Controls and Trane Technologies. HVAC companies reported high-single-digit to low-double-digit sales growth as data centers increased demand for cooling and climate-control systems. Commercial HVAC demand was strong, while residential HVAC was bifurcated, with consumer anxiety weighing on demand for companies such as Lennox and Watsco. The reporting indicates a favorable commercial end market for Carrier relative to more pressured residential applications.
