Otis Worldwide OTIS
Otis Worldwide is the world's largest manufacturer and maintainer of elevators, escalators, and moving walkways, with a mixed business model combining the sale of new equipment with a recurring, high-margin service business. Otis presents a high-quality business with a 15.13% operating margin and a well-covered dividend (43.7% payout), but its 3.04x EBITDA net debt and China exposure add risk in a high-rate environment. Valuation is reasonable (16.95 P/E), though negative momentum (-18.91%) reflects recent price weakness.
