CNH Industrial (NYSE:CNH) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results

CNH Industrial (NYSE:CNH) released its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.01 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, meeting the consensus estimate of $0.01, Zacks reports. CNH Industrial had a return on equity of 8.90% and a net margin of 2.82%.The firm had revenue of $3.83 billion for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $3.80 billion. During the same quarter last year, the business posted $0.10 EPS. The company’s revenue for the quarter was down .1% on a year-over-year basis. CNH Industrial updated its FY 2026 guidance to 0.35-0.45 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from CNH Industrial’s conference call:

• Q1 results were in line with guidance but weak: consolidated revenues of $3.8 billion (flat YoY), adjusted net income of $21M (EPS $0.01), industrial adjusted EBIT loss of $45M, and an industrial free cash flow outflow of $569M.
• Management reaffirmed 2026 targets: industrial net sales flat to down 4%, industrial EBIT margin of 2.5%–3.5%, industrial free cash flow $150M–$350M, and adjusted EPS $0.35–$0.45.
• Tariff changes materially raise headwinds — Section 232 now applies to total unit/component value, leaving Ag roughly net neutral (~210–220 bps drag) but worsening Construction margin impact to ~600 bps, while Section 301 actions remain an unquantified risk.
• Operational discipline and tech initiatives are progressing: production kept low to target a ~$500 million dealer inventory reduction, AI Tech Assist rolled out to ~70% of dealers, and manufacturing projects delivered ~$45M of savings and quality gains.
• South America (notably Brazil) remains a key risk — tight credit, higher fertilizer and transportation costs, elevated delinquencies and higher Financial Services risk costs drove a 28% sales decline in the region and warrant continued caution into H2/2027.
