CNH Industrial reports Q3 results and announces joint venture to spin off construction business

CNH Industrial posted third‑quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $0.16 per share, beating forecasts, while revenue was about $4.35 billion, roughly flat year‑over‑year. The company disclosed a definitive agreement with Kobelco to create a joint venture for its construction equipment segment, in which Kobelco will acquire a 70% interest for $700 million and CNH will retain 30%. The firm also raised its full‑year EPS outlook to $0.44‑$0.48 and its industrial free‑cash‑flow target to $300‑$450 million.

The joint‑venture will transform CNH into a pure‑play agriculture equipment company, potentially improving margins and focus, while the $700 million cash proceeds strengthen its balance sheet. The raised earnings guidance signals higher profitability expectations for the rest of 2026.
