Cummins Inc. (CMI - Free Report) is a leading global designer, manufacturer and distributor of diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems, and engine-related components, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems. Cummins is poised to benefit from its innovative products. Further, Cummins’ Distribution segment is poised to gain from the acquisitions in North America.
However, Cummins operates in a highly competitive environment. Additionally, the company is facing challenges in its Power Generation business due to weak global demand, mainly for larger units. In addition supplier concentration is also challenging for the company.
