Read MoreHide Full Article
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, rising demand for its engines among OEMs, and focus on cost reduction. Further, Cummins’ Distribution segment is poised to gain from the acquisitions in North America and expansion through partnerships.
Estimate Trend & Surprise History
Investors should note that the second-quarter earnings estimate for Cummins have been rising over the last 7 days.
The company has delivered positive earnings surprises in recent quarters. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters with an average beat of around 14.52%. Thus, investors have been eagerly awaiting Cummins’ latest earnings report.
We have highlighted some of the key stats from this just-revealed announcement below:
Earnings
Cummins’ earnings reported earnings of $2.53 per share in the second quarter of 2017, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.58.
Cummins reported revenues of $5.08 billion, up 12% year over year. Revenues also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.79 billion. This was due to increased demand of trucks and construction equipment in North America and China.
Key Stats/Developments to Note
For 2017, Cummins anticipates revenues to grow by 9-11%, compared to the prior guidance of 4-6% growth in revenues. EBIT is expected in the range of 11.75–12.5%, unchanged from the previous guidance. These expectations exclude the impact of the joint venture between Cummins and Eaton. The joint venture, launched in Apr 2017, is known as Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies.
Cummins’ shares have declined 5.17% in the pre-trading session so far. It would be interesting to see how the market reacts to the results during the trading session today.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
