Carrier Global Stock After Viessmann Deal: Is CARR Still A Buy For U.S. Investors?

Carrier Global (CARR) has transformed into a pure-play climate and HVAC company after acquiring Viessmann Climate Solutions and divesting its fire & security and commercial refrigeration units. The strategic shift positions Carrier for higher growth and margins, particularly in the European heat pump market, but investors are weighing the integration risks and elevated leverage against the potential for long-term shareholder returns. Analysts maintain a “Moderate Buy” to “Hold” consensus, emphasizing the importance of successful execution and deleveraging to justify current valuation and future upside.
