Wabash National stock (ISIN US9295661071) closed at USD 14.09 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, gaining 13.11 percent from the prior session. The move left the shares 2.63 percent below their 52-week high of USD 14.47, while the latest quarterly figures still showed pressure on sales and earnings.
Quarterly loss beats estimates
Wabash National reported a second-quarter 2026 loss of USD 0.53 per diluted share, compared with a consensus loss of USD 0.56, according to MarketBeat on July 29, 2026. Revenue reached USD 417.24 million in the quarter, exceeding the USD 402.85 million estimate but falling 9.1 percent from the same period a year earlier.
The earnings comparison is mixed rather than uniformly positive. Wabash National narrowed the loss against expectations by USD 0.03 per share, yet the prior-year quarter had produced a loss of USD 0.15 per share, leaving the earnings recovery incomplete.
Hold consensus targets USD 21.67
The analyst picture points to a Hold consensus based on four analysts, with an average price target of USD 21.67, a high target of USD 25.00 and a low target of USD 20.00, according to MarketBeat. The average target lies 53.7 percent above the October 2 closing price of USD 14.09.
That spread places the recent price rise beside a cautious earnings backdrop. MarketBeat lists two Buy ratings, one Hold rating and one Sell rating, a distribution that explains why the average target is materially higher than the consensus label suggests.
Dividend date arrives October 8
Wabash National declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.08 per share, with an annualized payout of USD 0.32, according to MarketBeat. The ex-dividend date is October 8, 2026, and the payment date is October 29, 2026, as listed by MarketScreener.
Stock stays near yearly high
Wabash National designs and services transportation equipment including dry van, refrigerated, platform and tank trailers, while also supplying parts and service solutions, according to the company's investor-relations page. The business therefore combines original equipment demand with aftermarket activity across transportation and logistics markets.
The October 2 close of USD 14.09 stood above the USD 12.46 prior close and near the USD 14.47 yearly high. The market capitalization was USD 574.15 million on that session, giving the price reaction a small-cap profile even as the quarterly revenue comparison remained negative.

Wabash National stock closed at USD 14.09 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, after a 13.11 percent daily gain; the 52-week range was USD 6.63 to USD 14.47.
