Otis Q3 2026: Service modernization surge drives 6% total revenue growth while New Equipment China drag and labor cost inflation compress margins 120bps

Otis delivered Q3 2026 net sales of $3.914 billion, up 6% year-over-year on 6% organic volume growth, with Service segment modernization revenues accelerating 20% organically — the strongest sub-segment result in the filing. The structural story is the widening divergence between Service (growing, margin-diluted by labor) and New Equipment (China down greater than 20%, operating margin contracting to 3.2% from 4.7%). Gross margin compression of 120 basis points in the quarter reflects a cost structure where labor and commodity inflation is outpacing volume-driven absorption, and no new pricing lever is disclosed.
