Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Trane delivered 3% organic revenue growth and 7% adjusted EPS growth in Q1, raising FY2026 EPS guidance to $14.75-$14.95 and organic revenue growth to approximately 7% on the strength of record commercial HVAC bookings and a record backlog of $10.7B, up over 30% from year-end 2025. Data center demand continued driving applied growth while the Stellar Energy acquisition expanded capabilities, and residential HVAC showed stabilization ahead of expectations. Transport refrigeration appeared to be bottoming, though Middle East conflict created revenue headwinds in select regions.
