Trane Technologies surpasses Q4 earnings estimates due to strong demand for commercial air-conditioning and heating systems, driven by climate change and AI data centers.
(Reuters) - Trane Technologies on Wednesday beat Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter revenue and profit, helped by rising demand for heating and air-conditioning for commercial buildings.
Shares of the company were up 2.5% in premarket trade.

The Ireland-based company, which owns transport refrigeration company Thermo King, saw a 12% rise in quarterly net revenue in its Americas segment and a 5% rise in its EMEA segment on the back of strong commercial demand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
The company posted a 10% rise in total quarterly net revenue to $4.87 billion, compared with analysts' estimates of $4.79 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
On an adjusted basis, Trane Technologies earned $2.61 per share for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with estimates of $2.54 per share.
Trane now expects revenue to grow between 6.5% and 7.5% in 2025. The company forecasts annual adjusted profit between $12.7 per share and $12.9 per share, compared with analysts' expectation of $12.66 per share.
