Cummins stock: why a rental fleet deal matters now
EquipmentShare.com has signed a multi year fleet agreement with Cummins (CMI), aiming to deploy up to 1 gigawatt of natural gas power generation for energy projects across the United States.
Cummins shares trade at US$520.40 after a 90 day share price return that declined 23%, even as the 1 year total shareholder return is 23.8% and the 5 year total shareholder return is about 1.4x. This points to longer term momentum even while more recent sentiment has cooled.

Cummins now sits on a sharp 90 day pullback wrapped inside strong multi year gains. Does that reset offer a cleaner entry today, or does waiting for a deeper reset give you a better shot at value?
Most Popular Narrative: 29.8% Undervalued
Cummins trades at $520.40 against a widely followed fair value estimate of $741.26, so the current pullback sits well below that narrative anchor and puts more focus on what is driving the long term thesis.
Cummins is experiencing strong and steadily growing demand for power generation equipment, especially from the data center sector, supported by record Power Systems revenue of US$2.3b in Q2 2026 and a globally supply constrained market for large diesel standby gensets, which can continue to lift revenue and support higher EBITDA margins as orders already extend into the second half of 2028.
See why 59 investors see Cummins as 30% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of $741.26 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, Cummins faces two clear pressure points: margin strain from higher compensation and tariffs, and persistent Accelera losses that could dilute group wide earnings progress.
