Cummins Inc. (CMI)

Cummins Inc. stock has experienced notable movements, increasing approximately 50% in the six months leading up to February 2026 and around 144% over the past year. Key events include the Q1 2026 earnings report, where Cummins reported sales of $8.4 billion and raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance, driven by strong demand for power generation products and an improving North American truck market. Net income in Q1 2026 fell by 21% due to higher costs and investments. In 2025, a forecast slowdown in demand for engine products negatively impacted the Engine segment's sales. Cummins completed a $4.1 billion acquisition of Solventum's purification and filtration business in 2025 and sold its hydrogen fuel cell activities dedicated to rail to Alstom in April 2026.

Demand for Cummins' products and services exhibits some seasonality and cyclicality. The company has experienced strong and consistent demand for its power generation products, particularly for data center applications. The engine business, especially for North American heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks, faced a slowdown in demand throughout much of 2025, but the North American truck market began to show signs of improvement in early 2026.
