Cummins stock is seeing optimism amid diversified demand in its Power Systems and Distribution segments, which are heavily benefiting from demand for data center backup power, offsetting softer truck volumes. Investors are optimistic about a projected 3% to 8% revenue growth in 2026, driven by an anticipated recovery in North American on-highway truck markets, particularly in the second half of the year.

As of its fourth quarter 2025, Cummins reported $8.5 billion in revenue, up about 1% year-over-year, while adjusted EPS, came in at $5.81, above the consensus estimate.

For the current fiscal year, ending in December 2026, analysts expect CMI’s EPS to grow 9.6% YOY to $26.05 on a diluted basis. It beat the consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Among the 21 analysts covering the stock, the consensus is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on nine “Strong Buy” ratings, one “Moderate Buy,” and 11 “Holds.”

This configuration is more bullish than three months ago, when there was a “Strong Sell” rating.

Earlier this month, Raymond James raised its price target on Cummins to $675 from $585, maintaining an “Outperform” rating.

The stock has already surged past its mean price target of $582.39, while the Street-high price target of $703 suggests an upside potential of 17%.
