â–²(6.82% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/04/26
CMI’s score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial performance (strong margins/returns and improved recent free cash flow) and a constructive earnings update with raised 2026 guidance and strong Power Systems/China momentum. These positives are tempered by a less supportive near-term technical setup (below key short-term moving averages with negative MACD) and a valuation headwind (P/E ~32.8 with a modest ~1.26% yield).
Positive Factors
Free cash flow strength
Consistent, sizable free cash flow (~$3.4B TTM) provides durable financial flexibility to fund capacity expansion, R&D, dividend growth and buybacks without relying on external financing. Over 2–6 months this underpins execution of strategic investments and shareholder returns.
Negative Factors
Ongoing Accelera losses
Accelera (zero-emissions/hydrogen/electrification) is growing revenue but remains loss-making with sizable projected net losses. Continued investment will pressure consolidated margins and cash generation until commercialization scales, creating multi-quarter earnings drag.

Earnings Call Date:Aug 04, 2026
(Q2-2026)

Next Earnings Date:Oct 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented strong operational and financial momentum: record revenue and EBITDA dollars, raised full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance, robust cash flow, meaningful data center and China demand, and expanded capacity/product plans. Offsetting pressures include margin percent compression driven by incentive compensation, higher R&D/product coverage and freight costs, ongoing Accelera losses, and power generation capacity constraints that temper upside. Management communicated clear plans to invest in capacity, execute a phased EPA-driven engine rollout to smooth transition risk, and return capital to shareholders.Positive Updates
