Cummins After Q3: Is the Stock a Buy on AI Data Center Boom?

What happened: Cummins reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $9.44 billion, up 13.5% year over year but below the Zacks Consensus Estimate, as supplier constraints delayed generator shipments and pickup truck engine demand weakened. Key numbers: Q3 revenue $9.44 billion, up 13.5%. Adjusted EPS $7.71 versus consensus $8.38. Full-year 2026 revenue guidance cut to roughly 10% growth from 10-13%. Why it matters: Data center demand and a multiyear order pipeline support long-term growth, but supply constraints and truck market weakness weigh on results. Cummins carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
