CNH's Q2 results came in stronger than expected
For the second quarter, CNH reported earnings per share of $0.11 on sales of roughly $4.8 billion. The earnings performance topped the average Wall Street analyst targets, which had a targeted per-share profit of $0.09, and revenue surpassed the average forecast by $50 million. While non-GAAP (adjusted) net income fell roughly 25% year over year to $161 million, the decline was smaller than anticipated -- and management believes that the business is now in the low point of the agricultural demand cycle.
What's next for CNH?
With its Q2 report, CNH said that it now expects the agricultural segment's net sales to be roughly flat annually in 2026 after accounting for a roughly 2% beneficial exchange rate impact. Previously, the company had said that agricultural segment revenue would likely come in between down 5% and flat on the year with the same currency tailwind -- so the company's updated guidance represents a major step up and seems to support the thesis that cyclical industry conditions are starting to move in more positive directions.
The company also raised its target for construction segment revenue growth to between 5% and 10% -- up from its previous guidance for performance to be roughly flat on an annual basis. Along with the improved sales outlook, the company raised its guidance range for adjusted earnings per share from between $0.35 and $0.45 to between $0.41 and $0.46. With significant guidance improvements, it looks like the business could be turning a corner.
