BofA update shows where active managers are putting money
Investing.com - HSBC downgraded Trane Technologies (NYSE:TT) from Buy to Hold on July 20th, 2025, while raising its price target to $460.00 from $415.00. The stock, currently trading at a P/E ratio of 37.14x, appears overvalued according to InvestingPro analysis.
The downgrade comes despite HSBC acknowledging Trane’s "impressive top- and bottom-line growth" in the second quarter, driven primarily by strong performance in Americas commercial HVAC. The company has demonstrated solid execution with 11.43% revenue growth over the last twelve months and maintains a "GREAT" financial health score.
Trane achieved these results while navigating challenges including a refrigerant shortage and continued weak demand from both China and the transport sector.
Despite the company’s strong execution, HSBC believes Trane’s positive outlook is "mostly priced into the shares," which currently trade at 32 times 2025 estimated earnings and 28 times 2026 estimated earnings.
The stock fell 7% following its earnings report, which HSBC suggests indicates high market expectations and that "the bar for further beats and guidance increases may be raised quite high near term."
In other recent news, Trane Technologies reported its second-quarter financial results, which included adjusted earnings that surpassed analyst expectations. However, the company’s revenue did not meet the estimates set by analysts. Despite this, Trane Technologies achieved record enterprise bookings of $5.6 billion, representing a 5% increase from the same period last year. These developments come amid a challenging market environment. The earnings report has attracted attention from various analyst firms. The company continues to focus on its strategic initiatives. Investors are closely monitoring these updates for potential impacts on future performance.
