Wabtec reported third-quarter 2026 sales of $3.12 billion on 21 October, up 8.1% from a year earlier. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $2.42, while adjusted diluted EPS was $2.83, a 22% increase year over year; cash from operations was $455 million.

Freight segment sales rose 6.9% and Transit sales rose 11.3%. Wabtec raised and tightened its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $10.85–$11.05, while maintaining its revenue range of $12.30–$12.60 billion. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure; the company’s release says it is not presenting a reconciliation to forecast GAAP EPS because some items cannot be predicted without unreasonable effort.
