Cummins Inc. stock (ISIN US2310211063) is trading around USD 558.86 on the New York Stock Exchange as of September 11, 2026, with investors weighing strong recent revenue growth against a mixed earnings picture and an increased dividend.
Revenue grows but EPS misses expectations
According to MarketBeat on September 11, 2026, Cummins most recently reported quarterly revenue of USD 9.46 billion, an increase of 9.4 percent year over year and above analyst estimates, underscoring robust demand across its engine and component businesses.
In the same quarter, Cummins delivered earnings per share of USD 6.73, which fell short of the USD 7.21 consensus estimate by USD 0.48 per share, highlighting margin and cost pressures even as the top line continues to expand.MarketBeat
For investors, this combination of nearly double-digit revenue growth with an earnings miss makes the operating margin trend a central focus, particularly as Cummins invests in electrification and energy storage solutions such as battery energy storage systems for data centers.
Dividend increase and analyst view support the shares
Cummins has recently strengthened its shareholder return profile by raising its quarterly dividend from USD 2.00 to USD 2.20 per share, lifting the annualized payout to USD 8.80 and implying a yield of about 1.6 percent at recent prices.MarketBeat
Despite the latest earnings miss, analyst sentiment remains constructive: based on data compiled by MarketBeat, Cummins carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating, with eleven Buy recommendations and four Hold ratings and an average price target of USD 764.54, indicating roughly 24.1 percent upside from the intraday level of around USD 558.86 on September 11, 2026.
Institutional investors continue to play a key role in the shareholder base: Corient Private Wealth LP recently reduced its stake by 3.6 percent in the second quarter, selling 10,788 shares to hold 288,832 Cummins shares valued at approximately USD 206 million, while Tidal Investments LLC increased its position by 35.9 percent to 28,312 shares worth about USD 20.2 million.MarketBeatMarketBeat
Stock trades below its 52-week high
As of the latest data on September 11, 2026, Cummins shares trade around USD 558.86 on the New York Stock Exchange, with intraday indications from recent portal data placing the quote near USD 556.87 to USD 558.86 and showing a modest gain of about 1.6 percent compared with the previous close.Yahoo FinanceMarketBeat
According to MarketBeat, Cummins stock recently opened at USD 549.54, significantly below its 52-week high of USD 737.76 but comfortably above its 52-week low of USD 400.72, giving investors a clear sense of the current trading range.
This positioning roughly one quarter below the 52-week high means the shares offer upside potential if the company can translate its revenue growth into stronger earnings and cash flow, while still reflecting some caution over recent profit trends.
Next earnings expectations and key risk
Looking ahead, the next earnings release for Cummins is expected around November 5, 2026 for the quarter ending September 2026, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate currently at USD 8.46 per share, implying a projected year-over-year increase of more than 50 percent.Zacks Investment Research
Zacks notes that in its last reported quarter Cummins earned USD 6.94 per share versus a consensus of USD 7.33, a negative surprise of 5.32 percent, underscoring the execution risk if cost inflation or investment spending continues to weigh on profitability.Zacks Investment Research
For investors, the key risk is that Cummins may again miss consensus expectations if margins do not improve, even as revenue is projected to grow, which could limit the ability of the stock to move closer to the average analyst price target near USD 764.54 in the medium term.
