Wabtec Leads Heavy Transportation Q2 as Greenbrier Posts Group's Weakest Results
Wabtec reported second-quarter revenues of $3.18 billion, up 17.5% year on year and 3.3% above analysts' expectations, as the 12 heavy transportation equipment stocks tracked posted a satisfactory quarter with group revenues beating consensus by 2.2% and next-quarter revenue guidance 8.6% above estimates. Chairman and CEO Rafael Santana said Wabtec delivered a strong first half with solid second-quarter execution driving robust sales growth, margin expansion and a 22% increase in adjusted EPS growth, though the quarter was mixed as full-year EPS guidance only slightly topped expectations while organic revenue estimates missed significantly. Wabash posted the group's best quarter, with revenues of $417.2 million, down 9.1% year on year but 3.6% above expectations, alongside a solid EBITDA beat and next-quarter revenue guidance exceeding analysts' expectations. Greenbrier delivered the weakest performance of the group, with revenues of $576.5 million, down 31.6% year on year and 5.9% short of expectations, plus full-year revenue and EPS guidance missing significantly. PACCAR reported revenues of $7.55 billion, flat year on year and in line with expectations, while Commercial Vehicle Group reported revenues of $195.2 million, up 13.5% year on year and 13.8% above expectations, delivering the group's biggest estimate beat and highest full-year guidance raise. On average, shares of the tracked companies are down 11.3% since the latest earnings results.
