Trane raises annual profit forecast on commercial HVAC demand

April 30 (Reuters) - Trane ‌Technologies raised ​its ​full-year profit and revenue forecast on Thursday after reporting better-than-expected quarterly results, as ‌rapidly growing AI-focused data centers boosted demand ⁠for its commercial heating and air-conditioning systems.

Rising temperatures, driven ‌by climate change, have ‌boosted sales for companies such as Trane, as households and businesses increasingly rely on air ​conditioning.

• For the full year, Trane now expects adjusted earnings per share between $14.75 and $14.95, compared ⁠with its earlier forecast of $14.65 to $14.85.

• The company now expects full-year ​2026 reported revenue growth of about 9.5%, above its prior estimate of between ​8.5% and 9.5%.

• Trane, which ‌owns transport refrigeration company Thermo King, saw an over 5% rise in ⁠quarterly net revenue in its Americas segment and an 11.5% increase in its EMEA business.

• Trane's first-quarter ⁠bookings grew 24%, led by nearly 40% growth in its ​Americas commercial HVAC business.

• Trane's adjusted profit rose to $2.63 per share in the quarter ended March 31, above ‌estimates of $2.53 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG.

• The Ireland-based ‌company's revenue rose 6% to $4.97 billion, from $4.69 billion ⁠a year ago. Analysts ‌on average had ​expected revenue of $4.82 billion.
