A standout quarter for Trane Technologies was fueled by a 39% surge in bookings to a record $7.8 billion, lifting backlog to $12.1 billion. Revenue climbed 10.6% to $6.35 billion, propelled by robust commercial HVAC demand in the Americas. Although gross margins compressed 200 basis points on inflation and investments, operating income still advanced 5.2%. Free cash flow generation hit $1.6 billion in the first half, a 90% year-over-year jump, enabling $1.2 billion in shareholder returns through buybacks and a 12% dividend increase.
