Trane Technologies has record bookings, a $12.1B backlog and rising earnings estimates, but premium valuation and margin pressure temper the buy case.
Trane Technologies raises its 2026 outlook as record HVAC backlog boosts visibility, but inflation and EMEA weakness test profit conversion.
Trane's dividend triangle is strong. Revenue has grown 9.8% a year over five years, earnings per share 18.75%, and the dividend 12.2%. The moat sits in the installed base. AltaGas' Q2 2026 was another record. Normalized EBITDA rose 14% to CA$391M and normalized earnings per share rose 15% to CA$0.31, with Midstream up 33% on record LPG exports of 144,420 barrels a day to Asia. Both names are on my list because I see a play in each, and price is part of that play. Let me be clear about the size of it. Neither one is a big bargain.
