Otis Worldwide posted mixed Q2 results, beating revenue estimates but cutting full-year 2026 guidance due to persistent headwinds. Despite margin pressure and profit declines, OTIS's service segment remains the primary growth engine, with modernization up 24% and maintenance trends accelerating. Headwinds in China and higher labor and energy costs continue to weigh on New Equipment segment profits and overall margins.
I maintain a hold rating on Otis Worldwide Corporation as strong service and modernization demand is not yet translating into earnings growth. Service margins contracted due to higher labor costs and slower productivity ramp from new mechanics, despite robust backlog and retention improvements. New equipment sales remain weak overall, with China still a drag, but the Americas show promising order momentum and backlog growth.
