Otis Worldwide Corp
Otis Worldwide Corp makes elevators, escalators, and moving walkways, and it also installs, repairs, and maintains that equipment. Its products move people inside buildings, from apartment towers and offices to airports, hospitals, and transit hubs. Otis earns money both when it sells and installs new systems and, just as importantly, when it provides long-term service and maintenance contracts. The company’s main customers are building owners, developers, property managers, governments, and transit operators. These customers need equipment that is safe, reliable, and easy to service over many years, so Otis sells not just machines but also an ongoing support relationship. That service work gives Otis a recurring revenue stream tied to the installed base of equipment already in use. What makes Otis different is that it sits at a critical point in the building lifecycle: it helps put vertical transportation into new buildings and then keeps it running afterward. In this industry, the service network matters as much as the initial sale because elevators and escalators must be inspected, maintained, and repaired over their long lives. That mix of new equipment sales and recurring service makes Otis more than a simple manufacturer.

Sales: Otis said it had a solid start to 2026, with total organic sales up 1% as service growth offset a decline in new equipment.
Service pressure: Service margins were under pressure in the quarter, with operating margin down to 23% from investments, mix, and inflation-related costs, but management expects sequential improvement through the year.
Modernization strength: Modernization remained a bright spot, with orders up 11% and backlog up about 30% at constant currency, giving Otis strong visibility.
China weakness: China continued to weigh on new equipment, but management said the worst of the decline may be behind it and that stabilization is improving.
Cash returns: Otis generated about $272 million of adjusted free cash flow, raised its quarterly dividend by 5%, and repurchased about $400 million of stock in the quarter.
Outlook: Full-year guidance was narrowed on EPS to $4.20 to $4.24, while sales, profit, and cash flow guidance were otherwise reaffirmed or nudged higher.
