Power Technology & Industrial Equipment - Engine Manufacturers, Power Generation, Electrified Powertrains
Strategic Profile
Long-term tailwinds from data center, mining, and high-horsepower demand support the business, with demand expected to be slightly better in the North America on-highway truck markets, particularly in the second half of 2026, paired with continued strength in data center power generation markets. The company expanded its Power Systems business by acquiring First Mode's assets and collaborating with Komatsu on hybrid powertrains for mining equipment.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Cummins achieved record EBITDA and earnings per share in 2025, excluding one-time items, demonstrating operational resilience. The company increased its common stock cash dividend for the 16th straight year, reflecting financial discipline. However, tariff headwinds and truck market recovery timing present key uncertainties for 2026.
