Housing is slowing. That is not good for pluming or A/C business. Big commercial building is expected to slow in 06. That hurts the large A/C equipment sales. Truck sales for larger trucks with anti brake system in Europe are slowing. That hurts brake division.
Some budget cuts in Research at Trane can affect product line of future. My info comes from good source. Estimate cut at 35% to 40%. Folks let go last 5 years over 30000 but they need who's left now so no easy fix by job cuts. Trane loosing many good trained sales people with fight over compensation. At this time number not accurate but estimate more then 60. This hurts because it takes over 18 months to have a salesman producing in this type of field. And those who left are going independent and selling compition products. These guys have the contacts and they will take business away from Trane. Dog's I guess I would just be careful. The great run up and with the split. Just may have capped any large run up in near future.
