Carrier Global Slides 1.92 as $250M Traded Volume Ranks 401st Amid Clashing Analysts and Mixed Fundamentals

On August 14, 2025, Carrier Global (CARR) closed at $65.76, down 1.92% with a trading volume of $250 million, ranking 401st in market activity. The stock’s performance reflects mixed signals from technical indicators and analyst ratings, with elevated costs and modest equity growth posing operational challenges despite strong profit conversion efficiency.

Analyst sentiment remains divided, with three "Buy" and one "Neutral" recommendation, though this contrasts with the recent price decline. Institutional outflows counterbalance retail inflows, and technical indicators like Williams %R and RSI suggest oversold conditions but limited directional bias. Dividend-related signals and profit efficiency offer cautious optimism, yet consolidation is advised to reassess risk-reward dynamics before committing to trades.

Fundamental metrics highlight a cost of sales ratio at 71.64%, constraining margins, while gross profit margin stands at 28.94%. Shareholders’ equity growth of 4.44% year-on-year appears modest, and net profit conversion at 78.68% remains a positive. Money flow trends show large institutional outflows (48.91% ratio) despite retail inflows (50.48% ratio), indicating mixed market positioning.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day from 2022 to 2025 yielded a 31.52% total return over 365 days, with a 0.98% average daily gain. Peak performance occurred in June 2023 (7.02%), while the lowest return was -4.20% in September 2022. The approach captured short-term momentum but remained volatile, aligning with Carrier’s recent mixed technical and fundamental landscape.
