Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS), the world's largest manufacturer of elevators and escalators, has underperformed the broader market in 2025, with shares down 4.8% year-to-date, compared to the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 9.6% gain, according to a report. Over the past year, OTIS declined 4.5%, while the SPX surged 20.6%. The stock also lagged behind the Industrial Select Sector SPDR (XLI), which rose 15.3% YTD and 22.9% over the past 52 weeks. Analysts attribute the underperformance to mixed quarterly results, including a slight earnings beat but a revenue miss in Q2 2025. Otis reported adjusted EPS of $1.05, slightly above estimates but down YoY, while net sales of $3.6 billion fell short of expectations. For fiscal 2025, analysts project diluted EPS growth of 5.2% to $4.03. Despite recent challenges, RBC Capital maintained an 'Outperform' rating on OTIS, though it reduced its price target to $105. The mean price target stands at $99.45, suggesting a potential 12.8% upside. Data from IndexBox indicates that while Otis remains a leader in the vertical transportation sector, broader industrial market trends have favored companies benefiting more directly from AI-driven infrastructure demand.
