CNH Industrial Gains on Robust Demand, Better Product Pricing
Read MoreHide Full Article
On Sep 3, we issued an updated research report on CNH Industrial N.V. (CNHI - Free Report) .
In second-quarter 2018, the company witnessed a year-over-year increase in revenues and adjusted earnings per share. Moreover, both earnings and revenues surpassed the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate. Further, all the industrial segments witnessed year-over-year gain, driven by positive price realization and improved market demand.
A similar trend is anticipated to continue for the rest of 2018 as well. This has encouraged CNH Industrial to raise its expectation for adjusted diluted earnings per share to 67-71 cents compared with the previous projection of 65-67 cents for 2018.
The demand for the company’s agricultural equipment is improving across regions and majorly in NAFTA (constituting the United States, Canada and Mexico). In the last-reported quarter, the segment’s NAFTA sales grew 9% for high horsepower tractors and 26% for combine harvesters. Restocking inventories, replacing old equipment with region’s row crop production, has led to this sales increase. Moreover, to sync with emission regulations and cater to farming requirements in the long term, CNH Industrial is investing in various product development programs.
Another major sales-generating segment, Commercial Vehicles is also gaining businesses, majorly across EMEA and LATAM regions. Moreover, the demand for light commercial vehicle market in Europe is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% through 2021. This growth rate will further strengthen the company’s Commercial Vehicles segment.
However, rising expenses, due to increased R&D expenses and raw material costs to develop products, are partly offsetting the company’s profit margin. In second-quarter 2018, CNH Industrial’s total costs and expenses rose almost 13% to $7.5 billion from the prior-year quarter.

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. It's not the one you think.
