Revenue of $2.32 billion edged ahead of expectations by 1.11% but was essentially unchanged from a year ago, rising just 0.2% as pricing and currency adjustments offset weaker volume. The most significant drag on profitability came from the Access segment, where operating income plunged 66.3% to $34.70 million on adverse sales mix and unfavorable price-cost dynamics, pulling consolidated operating margin down to 3.5% from 7.6% in the prior-year quarter. A relative bright spot was the Transport segment, where surging Next Generation Delivery Vehicle production for the U.S. Postal Service lifted sales 10.8% to $512.80 million. Analysts at multiple firms lowered price targets following the report, though management reaffirmed its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of approximately $11.50 on net sales of roughly $11.00 billion, citing solid demand visibility across segments for the remainder of the year.

“We delivered first quarter adjusted earnings per share of $0.85 reflecting lower results in our Access and Vocational segments compared with last year. While fire truck production improved year-over-year, deliveries were below our expectations, driven in part by weather- and travel-related disruptions.”
