Carrier Global Shares Plunge 248 on 370M Turnover Ranking 348th as Strong Q2 Metrics Clash with Flat Guidance

On August 1, 2025, Carrier Global (CARR) fell 2.48% to $66.92, with a trading volume of $370 million, ranking 348th in market activity. The decline followed mixed signals from earnings reports and strategic updates, despite strong operational metrics. The stock has risen 1.3% year-to-date after a 14.9% drop in July, reflecting sector volatility.

Jim Cramer highlighted CARR’s Q2 performance during a CNBC appearance, praising a 6% revenue increase, 26% earnings growth, and a doubling of data center sales. However, the stock weakened as the firm maintained unchanged full-year guidance, a move Cramer described as "the kiss of death in this market." Weakness in the U.S. residential market and cautious H2 forecasts contributed to the sell-off.

Carrier’s Automated Logic division announced the acquisition of British Columbia-based Control Solutions, Ltd., expanding its building-automation footprint in Western Canada. The deal, which establishes ALC’s first Vancouver office, aligns with Carrier’s focus on intelligent climate solutions. Leadership from Control Solutions will retain their roles, supporting integrated building systems for commercial and data center clients.

A strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to present, outperforming the 29.18% benchmark. This underscores liquidity concentration’s role in short-term stock performance, particularly in markets driven by rapid trading dynamics.
