Wabtec Corporation (WAB) has been making significant strides in the rail industry, presently focusing on several large acquisitions and partnerships. It has recently reached an agreement to acquire both
Dellner Couplers and
Evident's Inspection Technologies Division. Notably, the Dellner deal, valued at $960M, effectively expands Wabtec’s global footprint and it is set to benefit substantially from this acquisition. In addition, Wabtec has finalized a locomotive order with
TRANSAP and won a significant $248M locomotive order from the
Winning Consortium Simandou.However, WAB's stocks have experienced fluctuations, trading down 10.3% since the last earnings report, with Q4 earnings and revenues missing estimates causing a decline in share prices. Moreover, Wabtec's earnings and outlook have reportedly disappointed Wall Street. On a brighter note, Wabtec has been acknowledged for its global innovation machine, green friction technology and commitment to sustainability. Meanwhile, it has expanded its service capabilities in India, landing a tech powerhouse, Salesforce's CIO, for their digital revolution. In the face of these developments, some Wall Street analysts recommend adding WAB's stock to portfolios. Lastly, Wabtec has been bolstering its heat transfer and energy solution portfolio with acquisitions like
Bloom Engineering, showing promising progress within the wider rail tech sector.
