• Q2 Revenue Up 2% to $4.8B

  Driven by strength in construction equipment, consolidated revenues climbed 2% year-over-year to $4.8 billion, while Industrial Activities net sales advanced 3% to $4.14 billion.

• Full-Year Guidance Raised

  The 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance was narrowed to $0.41-$0.46 (from $0.35-$0.45) and Industrial Free Cash Flow to $200M-$400M (from $150M-$350M), both landing at the higher end of prior ranges.

• Tariff Impact Reduced

  Thanks to Section 232 rate reductions, the revised 2026 tariff cost impact was lowered to approximately 170 bps for Agriculture and roughly 470 bps for Construction, down from earlier estimates of 210-220 bps and about 600 bps, respectively.

• Agriculture Margins Under Pressure

  The Agriculture adjusted EBIT margin contracted to 5.2% from 8.1% a year ago, weighed down by lower South America volumes, an unfavorable mix, and higher SG&A/R&D, though full-year margin guidance of 5.0%-5.5% points to stabilization.

Second-quarter 2026 results showed CNH Industrial generating $4.8 billion in revenues, a 2% increase from the prior year, alongside net income of $141 million. Although earnings fell year-over-year, the company tightened its full-year 2026 guidance to the upper end of previous ranges—now projecting adjusted diluted EPS of $0.41 to $0.46 and Industrial Free Cash Flow of $200 million to $400 million. The brighter outlook stems from stronger-than-expected operational execution and a lower estimated tariff impact, suggesting management sees a route to improved profitability even as the agriculture cycle remains in a trough.
