The company reported revenue of $8.32 billion, down 1.6% year-over-year but ahead of the $7.99 billion consensus by 4.10%, while diluted EPS of $3.86 fell well short of the $4.77 analyst estimate, a miss of 19.04%. The shortfall traced largely to $240 million in non-cash charges in the Accelera segment, including a $210 million goodwill impairment tied to the electrolyzer business, compounded by $36 million in tax costs from new federal legislation that pushed the effective tax rate to 32.7% from 19.2% a year earlier. Beneath those charges, underlying performance was notably resilient, with Power Systems surging on data center demand and adjusted EBITDA margins expanding to 17.2% from 16.4%. Morgan Stanley raised its price target on the stock to $600, citing strong execution in power generation. With end-market visibility still clouded, Cummins withdrew its full-year 2025 outlook, planning to reinstate guidance alongside its 2026 forecast in February.
Key Takeaways
- • Rising demand for backup power for data centers drove Power Systems and Distribution growth
- • Effective cost management across the company offset North American truck market decline
- • Power generation demand increased in North America, India, and China
- • Sharp decline in North American medium-duty and heavy-duty truck demand pressured Engine and Components segments
- • International revenues increased 2% due to higher demand in China and Europe
- • North America sales declined 4%
