Wabtec Inc. (WAB)

The company now

Wabtec reported third-quarter 2026 sales of $3.12 billion on 21 October, up 8.1 percent from a year earlier 1. Adjusted earnings per share were $2.83, up 22.0 percent, and cash from operations was $455 million 1.

Sales growth and better gross margins lifted operating margin, and both the Freight and Transit segments grew, helped by the Frauscher and Dellner Couplers acquisitions 1. Finance chief John Olin said the timing of some locomotive deliveries shifted from the third quarter into the fourth 10.

The company raised its 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance to $10.85 to $11.05 and continues to expect revenue of $12.30 billion to $12.60 billion 1. Backlog, meaning orders signed but not yet delivered, was $31.4 billion at 30 September 1.

Dellner Couplers, bought on 10 February 2026 for about $1.053 billion, is still in its first year of accounting, and the company has not finalized the purchase accounting for it 2. The open question is how much the three recent purchases add as they are folded in 1.
