Wabtec stock reports 17.5 percent revenue growth in Q2 2026, while the shares were trading at USD 290.92 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026. The latest quarterly figures combine stronger sales with an earnings beat that gives the stock a measurable operating reference.
Revenue reaches USD 3.18 billion
Yahoo Finance reports that Wabtec generated USD 3.18 billion in Q2 2026 revenue, an increase of 17.5 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. The result exceeded analysts' revenue consensus by 3.3 percent, making sales growth the clearest numerical feature of the quarter.
The earnings comparison was also positive. MarketBeat reports EPS of USD 2.76 against a consensus estimate of USD 2.60, a USD 0.16 beat. The same report lists prior-year EPS of USD 2.27, giving the quarter a second comparison point for profitability.
JPMorgan raises its target
JPMorgan Chase and Co. raised its Wabtec price target from USD 315.00 to USD 320.00 while maintaining a Neutral rating, according to MarketBeat. The target change places the research view above the September 23 trading price, but the unchanged rating keeps the signal measured rather than directional.
Wabtec's fiscal 2026 EPS guidance is USD 10.60 to USD 10.90, while the reported analyst average is USD 10.86. That narrow relationship matters because the Q2 beat supports the annual framework without removing the gap between quarterly execution and full-year expectations.
Stock stays below its yearly high
At USD 290.92 on September 23, 2026, Wabtec traded below its 52-week high of USD 306.64 and above its 52-week low of USD 186.06. The market capitalization stood at USD 49,138,743,565 on the same date, giving the earnings and target discussion a clearly defined valuation backdrop.
