The midpoint of that range was slightly below the average analyst estimate of $10.33 billion.- Carrier Global Corp. (CARR) shares are up. The company said said its tariff exposure has been alleviated in part through price increases, allowing it to boost its full-year profit outlook and sending its shares higher.
