Cummins sets $1.82 per share quarterly dividend

COLUMBUS, Ind. - Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), a global power solutions company, announced on Tuesday that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $1.82 per share. The dividend is scheduled to be paid on June 5, 2025, to shareholders who are on record as of May 23, 2025. According to InvestingPro data, Cummins has maintained dividend payments for 55 consecutive years and raised them for 19 straight years, with a current yield of 2.2%.

Cummins, known for its diverse range of power solutions, operates through five business segments: Engine, Components, Distribution, Power Systems, and Accelera by Cummins. The company’s extensive portfolio includes diesel, natural gas, electric, and hybrid powertrains, as well as powertrain-related components. Cummins’ dedication to sustainability is evident in its Destination Zero strategy, which focuses on aiding customers during the energy transition. InvestingPro identifies Cummins as a prominent player in the Machinery industry, operating with a moderate level of debt and maintaining a healthy current ratio of 1.34.

In 2024, Cummins reported earnings of approximately $3.9 billion on sales totaling $34.1 billion. The company, headquartered in Columbus, Indiana since 1919, employs about 69,600 people worldwide. Cummins prioritizes education, environment, and equality of opportunity in its corporate responsibility efforts, aiming to power a more prosperous world. Trading at a P/E ratio of 16.6, the stock shows strong value characteristics relative to its near-term earnings growth. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued, with additional insights available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report, part of InvestingPro’s coverage of over 1,400 US equities.

The forward-looking statements included in the company’s announcement reflect expectations for future revenues and EBITDA, among other aspects. However, these projections are subject to potential changes due to various factors, such as trade disruptions, regulatory challenges, and shifts in market demand for diesel-powered products. Cummins acknowledges the inherent risks in forward-looking statements and does not guarantee future results as projected. Recent InvestingPro data shows nine analysts have revised their earnings downwards for the upcoming period, though the company maintains strong fundamentals with an EBITDA of $5 billion in the last twelve months.
