SG&A Efficiency: A Tale of Two Companies

In the competitive landscape of industrial manufacturing, understanding the efficiency of Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses is crucial. Trane Technologies plc and Pentair plc, two giants in the sector, offer a fascinating study in contrasts over the past decade.

From 2014 to 2023, Trane Technologies consistently outpaced Pentair in SG&A spending, peaking at nearly 3 billion in 2019. This represents a 25% increase from their 2014 figures. In contrast, Pentair's SG&A expenses saw a significant drop of over 65% from 2014 to 2018, before stabilizing around 680 million in 2023.

This divergence highlights Trane's aggressive investment in administrative efficiency, while Pentair's strategy appears more conservative. As the industry evolves, these trends may offer insights into each company's strategic priorities and market positioning.
