Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS) showcased its resilience amid challenging market conditions. Despite a slump in Chinese orders due to tariffs and a lower sales forecast, OTIS managed to emerge victorious boasting strong service growth and an increased quarterly dividend, from $0.42 to a whopping 110% boost since 2020. The firm marked its Q1 2025 with impressive earnings, beating estimates, while sales missed expectations. However, resulting from a cautious optimism for its earnings, there has been trading activities with partners increasing their holdings in OTIS and fresh investment coming in. On the downside, there was a 31% decline in Q1 profits amid slumping China sales and Otis projects the tariffs will cost it tens of millions. Despite this, the firm doesn't lack in investors showing their trust, acquiring thousands of shares, thus sales forecast have been lifted. In terms of governance, Judy Marks leads Otis through uncertainty and technological evolution, indicating a balanced leadership managing external and internal circumstances effectively. Barclay's reduce their price target for Otis, however this was countered by a rise in position from BI Asset Management.
