Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$187.77

-34.7% from spot

The base case represents the modal compounding trajectory, where the Freight segment maintains its market leadership and steady aftermarket service growth. Operating margins expand moderately through ongoing efficiency gains and contract escalation clauses, while low capital intensity supports steady share repurchases across the forecast horizon.

Mid-single digit annual revenue growth supported by locomotive installed base maintenance and transit recovery
Operating margins expanding steadily toward long-term targets through pricing escalation and lean initiatives
Capital expenditures remaining disciplined at low single-digit percentages of revenue
Terminal exit valuation multiple aligning with normalized mature industrial compounder benchmarks

Bull20%

Price target

$239.57

-16.7% from spot

The bull case envisions accelerated modernization of global locomotive fleets, strong international contract conversion such as large-scale deliveries, and deepening operating leverage across the Transit segment. Under this trajectory, pricing power and integration initiatives expand operating margins well beyond historical peaks, while disciplined capital intensity fuels strong free cash conversion to support elevated valuation.

Double-digit revenue expansion driven by Tier IV fleet modernizations and international locomotive deliveries
Consolidated operating margins expanding beyond historical highs via pricing power and integration efficiencies
Disciplined capital intensity driving free cash flow conversion to new peaks
Forward valuation multiple expanding toward premium capital goods peer multiples
