CNH Industrial: The AG Upcycle Isn't Here Yet

CNH Industrial N.V. delivered a modest Q2 2026 beat, but margins are compressing, and the stock remains in a cyclical trough. South America sales plummeted 27%, and 96% of net income came from CNH's internal bank, raising concerns about core industrial profitability. Management raised 2026 guidance slightly, but EBIT margin and FCF outlooks remain subdued; valuation at ~25x fwd PE appears aggressive for current fundamentals.
