How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can update expectations for CNH’s full-year trajectory using the narrowed guidance and segment margin/volume trends, while monitoring credit quality in Financial Services given higher past-due rates.
Market read
CNH’s quarter combined modest revenue growth with profitability and cash-flow deterioration versus last year, but management narrowed full-year guidance to the higher end, creating a mixed setup for positioning.
What to watch
Financial Services credit metrics worsened, with receivables more than 30 days past due at 4.4% (up from 3.9%), and operating cash flow dropped sharply versus Q2 2025.
Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2026 were $4.8 billion, up 2% year-over-year; reported Net income was $141 million and adjusted Net income was $161 million.
Second-quarter revenue and Industrial Activities net sales increased year-over-year, but reported net income, adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income, EPS, operating cash flow and free cash flow declined from Q2 2025. Full-year outlook was narrowed to the higher end of previously communicated ranges.

Capital returns
- Returned $0.2 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
What drove it
- Agriculture price realization was favorable, but South America volumes were lower.
- Agriculture profitability was affected by lower South America volumes, unfavorable North America and EMEA mix, tariffs, higher SG&A and R&D expenses, and lower joint venture results.
- Construction revenue benefited from North American volumes and first-quarter delayed shipments.
- Construction profitability was pressured by tariffs and higher R&D expenses, partly offset by higher volumes and lower SG&A expenses.
- CNH cited dealer inventory normalization, aging fleets, and a more balanced relationship between new and used equipment pricing as constructive equipment-cycle indicators.
- Financial Services results were affected by margin compression in all regions except North America, lower South America and North America volumes, higher risk costs in Brazil, and increased labor costs.
Concerns
- Farmers face low commodity prices, high input costs, and an uncertain trade environment.
- Agriculture adjusted EBIT margin declined to 5.2% from 8.1%.
- Construction adjusted EBIT margin declined to 1.7% from 4.5%.
- Operating cash flow declined to $145 million from $772 million and free cash flow of Industrial Activities declined to $150 million from $451 million.
- Receivables more than 30 days past due increased to 4.4% from 3.9%, due to economic factors affecting farmers, specifically in South America.
- CNH is incurring higher transportation costs and managing challenging market conditions in South America.
What to watch
- Agriculture segment adjusted EBIT margin guidance of between 5.0% and 5.5%.
- Construction segment adjusted EBIT margin guidance of between 1.8% and 2.3%.
- Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities guidance of between $200 million and $400 million.
- Adjusted diluted EPS guidance of between $0.41 to $0.46.
- Dealer inventory reduction, production levels, tariff cost offsets, and farmer-market conditions.
- Financial Services portfolio quality and the receivable balance greater than 30 days past due.
Balance sheet and cash flow
- Net cash provided by operating activities was $145 million in Q2 2026.
- Free cash flow of Industrial Activities was $150 million in Q2 2026.
- Free cash flow used in Industrial Activities was $(439) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
- Financial Services equity at quarter-end was $2,923 million, compared with $2,907 million in Q2 2025.

- The receivable balance greater than 30 days past due was 4.4% of receivables as of June 30, 2026, compared with 3.9% as of June 30, 2025.
Analysis
CNH delivered modest top-line growth in the second quarter, with consolidated revenues of $4.8 billion, up 2% year-over-year, and Net Sales of Industrial Activities of $4.14 billion, up compared to Q2 2025. The revenue outcome came despite an agriculture market that management characterized as being at the trough of the cycle. Agriculture net sales were flat year-over-year at $3.3 billion as price realization offset lower South America volumes, while Construction net sales increased 12% to $866 million on higher North American volumes and shipments delayed from the first quarter.
Profitability remained under pressure. Reported Net income was $141 million versus $217 million in Q2 2025, while adjusted Net income was $161 million versus $216 million. Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities declined to $167 million from $224 million and the adjusted EBIT margin fell to 4.0% from 5.6%. Agriculture adjusted EBIT fell to $170 million from $263 million, reflecting lower South America volumes, unfavorable mix, tariffs, higher SG&A and R&D expenses, and lower joint venture results. Construction adjusted EBIT declined to $15 million from $35 million, with tariffs and higher R&D expenses outweighing the volume improvement.
Cash generation was materially lower year-over-year. Cash flow provided by operating activities was $145 million compared with $772 million, and Free cash flow of Industrial Activities was $150 million compared with $451 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Free cash flow used in Industrial Activities was $(439) million compared with $(116) million. CNH nevertheless returned $0.2 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Financial Services also weakened, with revenue down 4%, net income down to $71 million from $87 million, and receivables more than 30 days past due rising to 4.4% from 3.9%.
The outlook signals management expects results at the higher end of its previous ranges, though the prior outlook itself was not provided. CNH now forecasts Agriculture net sales about flat year-over-year and an Agriculture adjusted EBIT margin between 5.0% and 5.5%. Construction net sales are projected to increase between 5% and 10% year-over-year, with an adjusted EBIT margin between 1.8% and 2.3%. The principal issues for the remainder of 2026 are execution on cost and tariff mitigation, channel inventory reduction, South American demand and credit conditions, and delivery of Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities between $200 million and $400 million.
Management, verbatim
Our second quarter results reflect disciplined execution by the CNH team in a market that remains at the trough of the agriculture cycle.

Background
This is CNH Industrial’s SEC Form 8-K (Item 2.02) reporting second-quarter 2026 results and financial condition, including segment performance and outlook commentary.
Ticker impact
CNH reported Q2 2026 results with revenues of $4.8B, net income $141M, and narrowed full-year guidance, plus $0.2B returned via dividends and buybacks.
Near-term bias modestly positive if investors focus on guidance narrowing to the higher end and capital returns, but tempered by year-over-year net income and adjusted EBIT declines.
The filing provides concrete quarter metrics (revenue up 2% YoY, net income down 35%, adjusted EBIT margin down) and states full-year guidance narrowed to the higher end, which typically supports the stock versus a broad range or downward revision.
Market effects
Agriculture-cycle trough commentary and segment volume declines highlight ongoing demand softness for farm equipment, while construction demand growth suggests partial offset from non-ag segments.
North America and EMEA tractor/combine volumes were down, while Asia Pacific tractor demand rose but combine demand fell sharply, indicating uneven regional recovery.
Tariff impact and South America farmer economics (past-due receivables rising) point to cross-region risk that can affect global ag equipment and financing peers.
Counterpoint
The guidance narrowing to the higher end may reflect a less-bad scenario rather than improving fundamentals, since adjusted EBIT and net income both fell materially YoY.
