Otis Reports 6% Organic Sales Growth Driven by Service and Modernization Expansion
Otis (OTIS) reported its third-quarter 2026 earnings, highlighted by a 6% increase in organic sales. The growth was primarily driven by the company's service business and a significant surge in modernization orders, which saw organic sales rise by 20%. This segment provides high-margin revenue and long-term servicing rights as aging elevator systems are upgraded. While the company faces market softness in China due to housing market adjustments, strong demand in North America helped offset these declines. New equipment organic sales in the Americas grew by 13%. Management is utilizing micro-pricing strategies and commercial AI tools to protect operating margins against rising labor costs and to enhance service quality across its global installed base.
