Investing.com - Goldman Sachs downgraded CNH Industrial (NYSE:CNH) from Buy to Neutral on Wednesday, while lowering its price target to $11.50 from $12.50. The $16.4 billion market cap company currently trades at $13.12, with an EV/EBITDA multiple of 22.5x, supporting Goldman’s valuation concerns.
The investment bank cited valuation concerns, suggesting that expectations for a top-line and margin recovery into 2026 are already reflected in the current share price despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
CNH Industrial has been one of the top performers in Goldman’s capital goods coverage over the last 12 months, gaining approximately 35% compared to an 8% average increase across the sector and outperforming competitors Deere (NYSE:DE) and Agco (NYSE:AGCO), which rose 43% and 15% respectively.
The stock’s strong performance comes despite double-digit earnings downgrades during the period, which Goldman attributes to investor anticipation of improving earnings prospects for 2026-2027.
Goldman Sachs noted that the agricultural and construction equipment manufacturer is emerging from a two-year downturn in its end markets, with inventory levels beginning to normalize across these sectors.
In other recent news, CNH Global reported strong first-quarter results that exceeded expectations, prompting Citi analysts to raise their price target for the company from $12.00 to $14.00 while maintaining a Buy rating. The revised target reflects CNH Global’s robust performance despite tariff impacts, with an adjusted earnings per share forecast of $0.63 for 2025, above the company’s guidance range. Additionally, Truist Securities reiterated its Buy rating on CNH Global, highlighting the company’s strong market position in Latin America and potential for margin improvement.

This collaboration aims to provide high-speed internet access to CNH’s brands, improving connectivity for farm management devices, particularly in remote areas like rural Brazil. The integration with Starlink is expected to enhance CNH’s FieldOps digital platform, facilitating real-time data analytics and improving operational efficiency for farmers. These developments underscore CNH Global’s commitment to leveraging technology and innovation to meet the evolving needs of the agricultural sector.
