About
Otis Worldwide Corporation is a Farmington, Connecticut-based elevator and escalator manufacturing and service company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: OTIS) as an S&P 500 Industrials component — designing, manufacturing, installing, and servicing elevators, escalators, and moving walkways through approximately 71,000 employees in 200+ countries and territories. Otis was spun off from United Technologies Corporation (now RTX Corporation) in April 2020, establishing itself as the world's largest elevator and escalator company by revenue and installed base. In fiscal year 2024, Otis reported revenues of $14.7 billion, with the Service segment (maintenance, repair, and modernization of approximately 2.2 million units under service contracts) generating $9.1 billion (+7% organic growth) and the New Equipment segment (elevator and escalator installations for new construction) generating $5.6 billion (flat-to-declining amid China new construction slowdown). CEO Judy Marks' strategy prioritizes service segment growth over new equipment: Otis's 2.2 million service units generating recurring maintenance contract revenue at 20%+ operating margins — providing revenue and earnings predictability regardless of construction cycle volatility — grow as new equipment installations accumulate in the service base over 15-25 year service contract lifetimes. The Otis ONE IoT connected elevator platform (sensors, connectivity, and predictive analytics on the global service base) enables remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and digital service dispatch that reduces emergency call frequency and improves technician productivity.
