CNH Global holds market leadership in Brazil through its Case IH and New Holland brands, benefiting from a local manufacturing footprint that produces more than 90% of its Latin America net sales within the region. Latin America consistently ranks as one of CNH’s highest-margin and market-share regions compared to its total portfolio. InvestingPro analysis confirms CNH’s strong market position, with a gross profit margin of 20.3% and healthy liquidity metrics, including a current ratio of 5.08.
The agricultural equipment manufacturer has already improved its Latin America margins through the current business cycle by implementing self-help measures and achieving greater manufacturing efficiencies, though Truist notes the company sees additional improvement opportunities ahead.
CNH Global identifies market share growth potential in high-horsepower equipment, planters, and sprayers, and is investing in a new parts facility in Brazil’s Mato Grosso region. These initiatives, combined with further self-help measures, are expected to improve the company’s through-cycle margins.
While CNH is navigating the current market downturn effectively, Truist believes the company is well-positioned to serve customers when demand improves in the agricultural equipment sector.
