Cummins Inc. has reported fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results.
“Cummins delivered strong operational results in the fourth quarter and full year despite continued weakness in North America truck markets. Our Distribution and Power Systems segments achieved record full-year sales and profitability as a result of disciplined execution and robust demand for data center backup power,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Chair and CEO of Cummins. “In the fourth quarter, we recorded charges related to our electrolyzer business within the Accelera segment, reflecting actions taken as part of a strategic review initiated in response to shifts in hydrogen adoption expectations. These decisions were aimed at streamlining operations and reducing ongoing costs in light of the weaker outlook for demand.”
“2025 marked a historic year for Cummins as we made significant progress in advancing key strategic priorities while continuing to raise performance cycle over cycle. I am tremendously proud of our employees for their resiliency and commitment to delivering for our customers amid persistent market uncertainty and change. Our disciplined cost management, diversified portfolio and effective execution allowed us to deliver strong results despite this challenging environment,” concluded Rumsey.
Fourth quarter 2025 revenues of $8.5 billion increased 1% from the same quarter in 2024. Sales in North America decreased 2% while international revenues increased 5%.

2026 Outlook:
Based on its current forecast, Cummins projects full-year 2026 revenue to be in the range of up 3% to 8%, and EBITDA to be in the range of 17.0% and 18.0% of sales.
Cummins plans to continue generating strong operating cash flow and returns for shareholders and is committed to our long-term strategic goal of returning 50% of operating cash flow back to shareholders.
“In 2026, we anticipate that demand will be slightly better in the North America on-highway truck markets, particularly in the second half of the year, paired with continued strength in data center power generation markets. Cummins remains well-positioned to invest in future growth, deliver strong financial results and return cash to shareholders in 2026,” said Rumsey.
