For fiscal 2025, analysts forecast the elevator maker to report adjusted EPS of $4.04, up 5.5% from $3.83 in fiscal 2024. Moreover, adjusted EPS is expected to grow 9.2% year-over-year to $4.41 in fiscal 2026.
Otis Worldwide has risen over 4% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) over 13% return and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLI) 22.2% gain over the same period.
Despite beating expectations with Q1 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.92, Otis Worldwide saw its shares drop 6.7% on Apr. 23, as net sales fell 2.5% to $3.4 billion, missing consensus estimates. The decline was attributed to soft demand in the New Equipment segment, particularly in China's struggling property market, as well as concerns over a projected $45 million to $75 million hit to operating profit from U.S.-China tariffs. Still, the company raised its full-year revenue outlook to a range of $14.6 billion to $14.8 billion.
Analysts' consensus view on Otis Worldwide stock is cautious, with an overall 'Hold' rating. Among 11 analysts covering the stock, two suggest a "Strong Buy," one "Moderate Buy," six give a "Hold," and two provide a "Strong Sell" rating. As of writing, OTIS is trading below the average analyst price target of $101.09.

Bitcoin $200K Target Still in Play, Driven by ETF, Corporate Treasury Buying: StanChart
Bitcoin (BTC) is set to defy historical post-halving patterns and push toward an all-time high in the second half, investment bank Standard Chartered (STAN) said in a research report Wednesday. The cryptocurrency's price typically falls about 18 months after the halving, a quadrennial event that slows the rate of growth in bitcoin supply. This time, structural support from institutional investors is expected to counter any such weakness, said Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered. "The bitcoin halving cycle is dead," Kendrick wrote. The analyst reiterated his year-end bitcoin price forecast of $200,000, and said he expects the largest cryptocurrency to rise to around $135,000 by the end of the third quarter. Strong inflows from spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and renewed corporate treasury demand, which combined totaled 245,000 BTC in the second quarter, are seen as key drivers, and are expected to accelerate in the coming months, the report said. Macro tailwinds include a possible early departure by Fed Chair Jerome Powell and progress on U.S. stablecoin legislation, both of which could fuel further upside, the report in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Stocks set another record and yields leap on signals the U.S. economy is solid
U.S. stocks climbed further into record heights on Thursday after a report showed the U.S. job market looks stronger than Wall Street expected. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% and set an all-time high for the fourth time in five days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 344 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. The market's gains were widespread, and companies whose profits can get the biggest boosts when workers are feeling confident helped lead the way. Expedia climbed 3.2%, and Norwegian Cruise Line steamed 2.9% higher. Bank stocks were also strong, with Citigroup up 2.3%, and JPMorgan Chase up 1.9%. The reaction was bigger in the bond market following the report from the U.S. government, which said employers added 147,000 more jobs to their payrolls last month than they cut. The unexpected acceleration in hiring signals the U.S. job market is holding up despite worries about how President Donald Trump's tariffs may hurt the economy and inflation. 'There is nothing to complain about here,' according to Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics. 'You cannot find any evidence of a nascent recession in these figures.' A separate report, meanwhile, said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week, an indication of easing layoffs. Yields jumped in the bond market as investors bet the better-than-expected data could keep the Federal Reserve on hold when it comes to interest rates, instead of cutting them like Trump has loudly been calling for. Traders in the futures market now see less than a 5% chance that the Fed could cut its main interest rate at its next meeting later this month. That's down sharply from the nearly 24% chance they saw just a day earlier, according to data from CME Group. The Fed's chair, Jerome Powell, has been insisting that he wants to wait and see how Trump's tariffs affect the economy and inflation before making its next move. While lower rates give a boost to the economy by making it easier to borrow money, they can also give inflation more fuel. And that could be dangerous if Trump's tariffs are about to send inflation higher. Many of Trump's stiff proposed taxes on imports are currently on pause, but they're scheduled to kick in next week unless Trump reaches deals with other countries to lower them. Many U.S. companies in the services industries are still saying they're concerned about the impacts of tariffs, even if they returned to growth last month following May's contraction, according to the most recent survey by the Institute for Supply Management. 'Increased cost from tariffs and the potential for tariffs is impacting cost increases,' one company in the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting industry said in the survey. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.34% from 4.30% late Wednesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which moves more closely with expectations for the Fed, jumped even more. It climbed to 3.88% from 3.78%. On Wall Street, Datadog rallied 14.9% after learning that its stock will join the widely followed S&P 500 index before trading begins on Wednesday. Many managers of funds either directly mimic or at least compare themselves against the S&P 500, which drives investment into any stock that joins the index. Datadog will replace Juniper Networks, which combined with Hewlett Packard Enterprise in a merger. On the losing side of Wall Street were companies that can feel pain from interest rates staying high. Homebuilders would like rates to fall in order to make mortgages cheaper to get, for example, and Lennar sank 4.1%, while D.R. Horton dropped 2.7%. All told, the S&P 500 rose 51.93 points to 6,279.35. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 344.11 to 44,828.53, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 207.97 to 20,601.10. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. South Korea's Kospi climbed 1.3%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.6% for two of the bigger moves.
