Tuesday, April 30, 11:54 AM More on Cummins' (CMI -5.5%) Q1: Revenues fall 12% Y/Y as "weakness in mining, oil and gas, and power generation" triggers an 18% Y/Y decline in total unit volumes in the engine business. CEO Tom Linebarger calls the weak demand "expected" and says "improving order trends in on-highway and construction markets in North America" should drive revenue improvement in the coming quarters. The company says FY13 revenues will be "flat to down 5%" while EBIT should come in at 13-14% of total sales, but happily notes that Q1 "will mark the low point of the year" for revenues.

Monday, February 25, 2:06 PM Cummins (CMI +0.5%) bucks a weak tape after Goldman Sachs ups the shares to Conviction Buy with a price target of $144. The price target represents a 30% upside from current levels, as Goldman says it's expecting a strong new product cycle in machinery, with contract awards in the coming months that could exceed $1B. The firm adds that CMI's core global truck markets are also in the early stages of recovery as production rises off trough 1Q levels. Comment! [On the Move]

Wednesday, February 6, 10:13 PM A dour management team on the Cummins (CMI +2.6%) earnings call today wasn't enough to shake the bulls. Full year North American revenue growth of 9% sounds good, but the CEO was quick to point out +40% Y/Y in Q1 was followed by -8% Y/Y in Q3 and Q4. In China, inventory levels are so high, even a big spring selling season may not be enough to clear them. Mining? "The weakest of any major end market we serve ... revenues could decline by as much as 25% for the full year." 5 Comments [U.S. Economy, Global & FX]

Shares +1.4% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
