Renaissance Investment Management - Large Cap Growth Renaissance Investment Management | “During the second quarter, we added a new position in the Industrials sector with Trane Technologies (TT), a leading provider of heating and cooling systems, building controls, and energy-related services. In the near term, we believe that Trane will benefit from the pent-up demand after refrigerant regulations are resolved, technical, legal, and supply-chain complications are worked through, and residential inventory levels normalize. We like that Trane is a direct beneficiary of AI data center growth, which is highlighted by its inclusion in Nvidia's reference designs for data centers. The company's vertical product infrastructure gives it the ability to deliver system-level solutions, helping to reinforce Trane's dominant position in the data center market. We also believe that Trane's service revenue growth remains underappreciated, especially as the installed base of data center customers grows. Service already represents one-third of the company's total revenue, with a faster growth, higher-margin profile.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 22, 2026 | View Pitch |
Fenimore Dividend Focus Strategy John Fox | “Trane Technologies (TT) continued to be a juggernaut, in our view, as earnings and backlog remained strong. AI data center cooling was a strong contributor while its residential HVAC business is experiencing weakness as the industry changes over to a new refrigerant. This softness runs across all residential HVAC firms and we expect clarity regarding this challenge in the near future. BSD Analysis: Trane is being underwritten as a high-quality HVAC compounder with strong backlog and earnings durability, supported by secular tailwinds in data-center thermal management. The manager separates end-markets: data center cooling is a clear positive, while residential HVAC is temporarily soft due to an industry-wide refrigerant transition creating near-term friction. Valuation remains premium—forward P/E recently mid-20s—so continued backlog strength and data-center momentum are central to the bull case. Catalysts include sustained hyperscaler buildouts, margin resilience, and clarity/normalization in residential demand as the refrigerant transition settles. Risks are a sharper slowdown in construction/retrofit cycles or an AI capex pause that reduces high-margin cooling growth.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
