Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cummins Inc. (CMI) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $9.438 billion, up 13% from a year earlier. Net income attributable to Cummins was $1.140 billion versus $536 million, and diluted EPS was $8.25 versus $3.86. EBITDA was $1.786 billion, or 18.9% of sales, compared with $1.187 billion and 14.3% a year earlier. Engine, Components and Power Systems sales rose 20%, 23% and 15%, respectively; Accelera sales fell 15% to $103 million and had a $56 million EBITDA loss.

For 2026, Cummins expects revenue growth of approximately 10%, versus prior guidance of 10% to 13%, and EBITDA margins of approximately 18.2%, consistent with prior guidance of 18% to 18.5%; the margin outlook excludes charges related to the first-quarter sale of its low-pressure fuel cell business. The company attributed the revenue outlook update primarily to weaker-than-expected North American pickup-truck demand, expected to persist through year-end. Cummins returned $661 million through dividends and share repurchases in the quarter and raised its quarterly dividend in July from $2.00 to $2.20 per share.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

The year-over-year earnings comparison has two stated qualifiers: third-quarter 2025 included $240 million in noncash Accelera charges, while third-quarter 2026 diluted EPS included $0.54 per share from favorable discrete tax items, so both periods’ reported results reflect these items.

EBITDA financial
"EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used in this release"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
non-GAAP financial
"EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used in this release"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
discrete tax items financial
"net favorable discrete tax items of $75 million"
battery energy storage systems (BESS) technical
"battery energy storage systems (BESS)"
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are large installations that store electricity in batteries and release it when needed, like a giant rechargeable battery for the power grid. They matter to investors because they help smooth out supply and demand, support more renewable energy, and create new revenue streams (selling stored power, providing backup and stability), which can change utility costs, business models, and the value of energy-related companies.
diluted EPS financial
"Diluted EPS of $8.25"
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) shows how much profit a company makes for each share of stock, assuming all possible shares from stock options or convertible securities are used. It provides a more conservative estimate than basic EPS, accounting for potential share increases that could dilute ownership. Investors use diluted EPS to get a clearer picture of a company's true profitability on a per-share basis.

Cummins Reports Strong Third Quarter 2026 Results

•Third-quarter revenues of $9.4 billion; GAAP1 Net Income of $1,140 million, or 12.1% of sales
•EBITDA2 in the third quarter was a record 18.9% of sales; Diluted EPS of $8.25
•The company expects full-year revenue growth of approximately 10% and EBITDA of approximately 18.2%
•The company returned $661 million to shareholders in the third quarter in the form of cash dividends and share repurchases
COLUMBUS, IND. – Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today reported results for the third quarter of 2026.
“We delivered record EBITDA and earnings per share in the third quarter, led by continued strength in our Power Systems business.” said Jennifer Rumsey, Chair and CEO of Cummins. “Global demand for power generation equipment remains exceptionally strong, driven by data center buildout. While the U.S. medium- and heavy-duty truck markets strengthened, customer orders in the pickup truck market have weakened. I’m proud of our employees’ focus on execution and confident our market-leading positions and broad portfolio will enable us to continue to deliver for customers, improve our financial performance cycle-over-cycle and return cash to shareholders.”
Third-quarter 2026 revenues of $9.4 billion increased 13% from the same quarter in 2025. Sales in North America grew 15% while international revenues, led by growth in China, increased 11%.
Net income attributable to Cummins in the third quarter was $1.14 billion, or $8.25 per diluted share, compared with $536 million, or $3.86 per diluted share, in 2025. Third-quarter 2025 results included $240 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, of Accelera non-cash charges. Third-quarter 2026 diluted EPS included $0.54 per share of favorable discrete tax items.
EBITDA in the third quarter was a record $1.8 billion, or 18.9% of sales, compared to $1.2 billion, or 14.3% of sales, a year ago. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 included costs noted above.

2026 Outlook:
Based on its current forecast, Cummins expects revenue growth of approximately 10% compared to our prior guidance of 10% to 13%. EBITDA margins are expected to be approximately 18.2%, consistent with our prior guidance range of 18% to 18.5%, and excluding charges related to the sale of the low-pressure fuel cell business in the first quarter.
Cummins plans to continue generating strong operating cash flow and returns for shareholders and is committed to our goal of returning 50% of operating cash flow back to shareholders.
"We have updated our full-year revenue and profitability guidance primarily due to continued weaker than expected pickup truck demand in North America, which impacted our third quarter and is expected to persist through the end of this year,” said Rumsey. “Global power generation and North America heavy duty truck demand remain strong, and we expect fourth quarter revenues to step up from third quarter levels and set a new record."
Third Quarter 2026 Highlights:
•In July, Cummins increased its quarterly common stock cash dividend from $2.00 to $2.20 per share. The company has increased the quarterly dividend to shareholders for 17 consecutive years.
•In August, Cummins announced that its Power Generation business had been selected to supply battery energy storage systems (BESS) for a large U.S. data center project, supporting utility-defined requirements for managing AI-driven load fluctuations, mitigating load oscillations and enhancing ride-through performance. This announcement marks a significant milestone for Cummins’ BESS business as this project will be the company’s largest BESS deployment to date. It also reflects Cummins’ continued role in supporting the data center market with reliable, sustainable power solutions.
•Cummins made important progress preparing for the launch of its upcoming HELM™ engine platforms. During the quarter, it completed the 2026 Forever Rising Tour, giving more than 500 customers and dealers the opportunity to experience its 2027 X15 engine, alongside the X10 and natural gas X15N engines.
•Cummins was named as a World's Top Disability Inclusive Business® for the sixth consecutive year, earning a top score of 100 on the Disability Index®.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Information
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used in this release and is defined and reconciled to what management believes to be the most comparable GAAP measure in a schedule attached to this release, except for forward-looking measures of EBITDA where a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the non-cash items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measure. Cummins presents this information as it believes it is useful to understanding the Company's operating performance, and because EBITDA is a measure used internally to assess the performance of the operating units.
Webcast information
Cummins management will host a teleconference to discuss these results today at 10 a.m. EDT. This teleconference will be webcast and available on the Investor Relations section of the Cummins website at www.cummins.com. Participants wishing to view the visuals available with the audio are encouraged to sign-in a few minutes prior to the start of the teleconference.

“NM” - not meaningful information
(1) Included intersegment sales, intersegment profit in inventory and unallocated corporate expenses. There were no significant unallocated corporate expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
(2) EBITDA is defined as earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors.
(3) Depreciation and amortization, as shown on a segment basis, excludes the amortization of debt discount and deferred costs included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income as interest expense. A portion of depreciation expense is included in research, development and engineering expenses.
(4) Included a $210 million goodwill impairment charge and a $30 million inventory write-down for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
(5) In the first quarter of 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. These transactions resulted in a net charge of $199 million which is reflected in other operating expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

Reconciliation of Non GAAP measures - Earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA)
We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. We believe EBITDA excluding special items, as noted in the table below, is a useful measure of our operating performance. This statement excludes forward looking measures of EBITDA where a reconciliation to the corresponding accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of non-cash items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measure.
EBITDA is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. It should be considered supplemental data; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income. Below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Cummins Inc. to EBITDA for each of the applicable periods:
