Reuters06-24

** Shares of air conditioner maker Carrier Global up 1.2% at $63.64 premarket after Citigroup upgrades to "buy" from "neutral"

** Brokerage raises PT to $74 from $65, implying a 17.7% upside to stock's last close of $62.88

** Citi says CARR's business portfolio transformation is progressing well; expects mid-single digits percentage growth in CARR's core markets over next two years

** CARR remains a work-in-progress and we don’t expect 'straight-line' improvement, but the company is well run... and we see room for further upside - Citi

** Says CARR has levers to help offset near-term headwinds from its Viessmann business unit
