Trane Technologies increased its quarterly dividend by 12%, setting the new dividend at $1.05 per share, or $4.20 annually. The hike brings the quarterly payout to the highest level the company has offered in recent years, following a prior dividend of $0.94 per share.
The decision follows a robust free‑cash‑flow performance in 2024, when the company generated $2.8 billion in free cash flow—an increase of roughly 34% from $2.098 billion in 2023. Free‑cash‑flow conversion reached 109%, and the payout ratio remained low at about 27.9%, giving management confidence to reward shareholders while preserving capital for growth and strategic investments.
Trane’s growth drivers underpin the dividend increase. Commercial HVAC demand, especially in the Americas, has remained strong, and data‑center cooling has become a key revenue engine. The company reported a record backlog of $7.8 billion at the end of 2025, providing visibility for continued expansion in high‑margin commercial and data‑center segments.
Dave Regnery, Trane’s chair and CEO, said the dividend rise reflects the company’s disciplined execution and purpose‑driven strategy. He highlighted that since launching Trane Technologies in 2020, the firm has nearly doubled its dividend while maintaining a balanced capital‑allocation policy that includes reinvestment, share repurchases, and strategic acquisitions such as Stellar Energy.
The dividend increase signals Trane’s confidence in sustaining robust cash flows and its ability to fund future growth initiatives while delivering value to shareholders. The move aligns with the company’s long‑standing commitment to consistent dividend payments, dating back to 1919 for quarterly cash dividends and 1910 for annual dividends.
