Memo
CUMMINS INC. (CMI). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-06-30.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 33.7 bn USD in 2025; YoY growth -1.3%; net margin 8.1%; ROE 23.0%; net debt/EBITDA -0.6x.
The estimated value range is 282.79–522.96 USD per share (median of 4 methods, agreement: medium); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 412.48 USD, the price of 471.84 USD leaves a potential of -12.6% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -14.4% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.
olivLaw score 67/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Not investment advice.

In fiscal 2025 net sales were 33.7 billion USD and net income attributable to the company was 2.8 billion USD 1. In the second quarter of 2026 revenues reached a record 9.5 billion USD and the company raised its full-year outlook 3.
SWOT
Strengths

- Power Systems and Distribution generate a large share of profit and showed solid growth in recent quarters 3.
- The company has a long history of partnerships with major truck and equipment manufacturers, which supports long-term customer relationships 1.
Weaknesses
- Results depend on the cycles of truck and construction markets, which can fall quickly when the economy slows 1.
- The Accelera segment is loss-making and required impairments and restructuring, showing how difficult zero-emission technologies are to make profitable at this stage 13.
- The company has incurred large costs related to emissions regulations in the past, including a settlement with US authorities, which shows the risk of compliance failures 1.
Opportunities
- Rising demand for backup power and data center infrastructure could open further growth opportunities for power generation segments 3.
- Development of Asian and other emerging markets could support sales, particularly in construction and power generation 3.
- Next-generation engine technologies and energy transition solutions could strengthen the company's long-term position if adopted widely 1.
Threats
- Changes in regulatory policy, including loosening emissions standards, could reduce demand for new products and for investments already made 1.
- Trade wars and tariffs could raise production costs and affect relationships with customers and suppliers 1.
- Competition from local manufacturers, especially in China, and from electrification specialists could compress margins 1.
Risks
- Emissions regulationhigh
An agreement with US environmental authorities imposed major costs in the past, and failure to meet its terms could lead to further penalties and litigation 1.
- Tariffs and international tradehigh
Trade measures, sanctions and export restrictions can affect demand, costs and access to the Chinese market, where the company has significant operations 1.
- Deregulation and new technology investmentsmedium
If regulations are relaxed, demand for new products could fall and investments made in anticipation could become hard to recover 1.
- Accelera segmentmedium
Losses and write-downs in the Accelera segment show the risk that electrification investments may not earn the expected return in the near term 13.
- Dependence on cyclical marketsmedium
Demand in truck and construction markets fluctuates with the economy, and a slowdown could significantly reduce sales and margins 1.
Investment thesis
What would need to be true (bull case)
- The company reported a record quarter and raised its 2026 outlook, suggesting solid demand across several markets. If demand for data center power and the recovery in North American trucks hold, growth could continue 3.
- A portfolio spread across five segments and a global distribution network reduces reliance on any single market. The Power Systems segment has shown high margins and rapid growth 13.
- If emissions rules remain stable and demand for cleaner technologies grows, the company could benefit from its investments in next-generation engines and components 1.
What would break the thesis
- Results for 2025 were weaker than the prior year, and demand in the commercial truck segment declined. If this trend continues, profitability could be affected 1.
- The Accelera segment is loss-making, and its electrification strategy has not yet produced enough revenue to offset costs. If these losses persist, further impairments could follow 13.
- Uncertainty over tariffs and regulation could reduce demand and raise costs. The history of emissions-related litigation and penalties shows that compliance risks can be costly 1.

The business
Segments
Power Systems
The Power Systems segment offers standby and prime power generators, high-horsepower industrial engines and alternators. At 18 percent of consolidated net sales and 31 percent of consolidated EBITDA in fiscal 2025, it was the most profitable segment relative to its size 1. In the second quarter of 2026 its sales rose 19 percent to 2.3 billion USD and its EBITDA margin reached 24.5 percent, supported by data center demand 3.
Distribution
The Distribution segment is the company's primary sales, service and support channel. It accounted for 30 percent of consolidated net sales and 34 percent of consolidated EBITDA in fiscal 2025 1. In the second quarter of 2026 its sales grew 9 percent to 3.3 billion USD, with North American revenues up 13 percent 3.
Market context
Demand in power generation, particularly for data centers, has been the main driver of recent growth, and the company reported robust orders for standby power in the second quarter of 2026 3. The North American truck market has improved and China contributed to higher construction revenues 3.
Net sales in the United States and Canada fell 3 percent in fiscal 2025 on weaker heavy and medium-duty truck demand, while international sales rose 2 percent 1. The company raised its 2026 revenue growth guidance to a range of 10 to 13 percent as demand outpaced expectations in several key markets 3.
Trends
- Data center power demandtailwind
Strong orders for generators serving data centers have supported sales in the Power Systems and Distribution segments. If this demand holds, it could continue to offset weakness in other markets 3.
- Recovery in North American trucksmixed
The North American on-highway truck market shows signs of improvement, and the company pointed to clearer regulatory conditions in the US. A slower adoption pace or new delays could limit this recovery 3.
- Tariffs and trade measuresheadwind
Uncertainty over tariffs and trade disruptions can raise costs and reduce demand. The net financial impact of tariffs on 2025 profitability was immaterial, but future costs could become significant 1.
- Energy transition and emissions rulesmixed
Stricter emissions standards encourage investment in new technologies, but deregulation or lower incentives could delay demand and lead to write-downs of investments made in anticipation 1. The company is ramping its X10 and X15 engines gradually for model year 2027 3.
Competitive position
The company competes in every segment with several manufacturers and distributors, and products are differentiated on performance, price, total cost of ownership, fuel economy, emissions compliance, delivery speed, quality and customer support 1. In engines, local manufacturers are often dominant in their home markets, and independent competitors include Weichai Power, Yuchai and Deutz AG 1.
In generators and industrial engines, competition comes from manufacturers with their own engine products and from generator set assemblers. The Accelera segment competes with battery companies, powertrain component makers and vertically integrated OEMs 1.
