GATX Raises 2026 EPS Guidance to $9.90–$10.30 After Q2 Beat
GATX sits 25% above its 52-week low of $148.2.
Summary
GATX reported Q2 EPS of $2.84, well above last year's $2.06, and lifted its full-year 2026 EPS guidance to $9.90–$10.30. The beat was driven by strong railcar leasing demand and the Wells Fargo railcar acquisition. This follows the Q1 earnings beat and the recent increase in its GABX Leasing stake. The raised outlook signals management's confidence in sustained rail market strength. With shares at $185.81, the new guidance implies a forward P/E of roughly 18–19x, which may attract value-oriented buyers.
