Strong 2026 Outlook
The company projects robust growth for 2026, with net sales expected to be between $7.5 billion and $8.1 billion, EBITDA between $930 million and $1 billion, and EPS between $4.50 and $5.00, reflecting the full impact of the REV Group merger.

Analysis
Terex Corporation's annual report details a pivotal strategic transformation with the finalized acquisition of REV Group, a significant event that will reshape its business profile. While 2025 saw a decline in operating profit and net income, largely influenced by market conditions in certain segments, the company's forward-looking guidance for 2026, incorporating the newly merged entity, projects substantial growth. The issuance of 48.1 million new shares for the REV Group merger represents a considerable dilution to existing shareholders but is part of a larger strategy to diversify into less cyclical, high-growth markets. Investors should weigh the short-term financial headwinds and dilution against the long-term strategic benefits and robust 2026 outlook for the expanded company.
