Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Cnh Industrial N.v.

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We adjust our 12-month target price for CNH Industrial (CNHI) to $12 (cut from $14 on May 4), implying a 2026 P/E multiple of 30x, above its five-year average forward P/E of 12.4x, justified by expected margin recovery, in our view. We leave our EPS forecasts unchanged. We view management's reaffirmed 2026 guidance as a modest positive, as it suggests confidence in cost actions and inventory discipline. That said, we remain cautious because the recovery still depends on stabilizing agriculture demand, reducing dealer inventories, and offsetting tariff-related cost pressure. Looking ahead, we forecast CNHI's revenue to decline 1.9% Y/Y in 2026, reflecting continued weakness in agriculture equipment demand, lower production volumes, and ongoing dealer inventory normalization. However, we expect revenue to recover by 7.5% Y/Y in 2027, supported by a gradual improvement in end-market demand, and potential benefits from cost discipline and pricing actions. Hence, we maintain our Hold rating.
