Terex MPS commissions 800 TPH plant in Saudi Arabia.

Terex MPS commissions 800 TPH plant in Saudi Arabia. Post Date: Oct 08, 2026 Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) - Terex MPS, in collaboration with its Saudi Arabian partner Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery (ALJ), has commissioned an 800-tonne-per-hour crushing and screening facility in the Kingdom. The plant can process up to 800 tons of material per hour, creating crushed and graded aggregates for use in concrete, asphalt, road building, and other infrastructure applications. Quarry businesses, aggregate manufacturers, and building contractors are the most common operators of such projects. Terex MPS and ALJ worked together on the plant's engineering, design, installation, and commissioning. The companies also offered operator training, technical help, and after-sales support. The installation increases Terex MPS's footprint in Saudi Arabia, where large building and infrastructure projects are driving demand for aggregates and high-capacity quarrying equipment.

Terex launches "E-Traction" Dual-Mode electric motor grader for 845G series with Wheel-End Torque Vectoring.

Terex launches "E-Traction" Dual-Mode electric motor grader for 845G series with Wheel-End Torque Vectoring. Sep 04, 2026. Terex Corporation has unveiled the 845G "E-Traction" motor grader, marking the industry's first heavy-class grader to completely abandon the traditional driveline in favor of direct electric wheel-hub motors. In road construction, maintaining precise drawbar pull while fine-tuning the blade angle on steep side-slopes is critical. Traditional mechanical drivelines suffer from drivetrain windup and sudden traction loss when the inner wheels lift off the ground during sharp articulation. The 845G E-Traction eliminates the transmission, driveshaft, and differential entirely. The engineering breakthrough is the "Independent Wheel-End Torque Vectoring" system. Powered by a 400 kW solid-state battery pack (with a swappable hydrogen fuel-cell range extender), electricity is routed directly to four permanent magnet motors integrated into the tandem drive wheels. When the operator engages the blade to cut a steep cross-fall, the inside wheels naturally lose vertical load. Instead of a mechanical differential sending all power to the slipping wheel, the ECU reads the wheel speed sensors 100 times per second. If the inside wheel speed exceeds the outside wheel speed by 2%, the ECU instantly reduces torque to the inside motor by 50% and redirects that electrical current to the outside motor. This generates a turning moment that pulls the grader smoothly through the curve without engine lug or tire scrubbing. Furthermore, the system features "Dynamic Blade-Load Trimming." When pushing heavy windrows of dirt, the electric motors provide instant maximum torque from 0 RPM. If the blade hits a buried boulder and the grader begins to stall, the system momentarily increases the wheel-end torque by 30% for 2 seconds to power through the obstacle, preventing the operator from having to shift gears or back up. This electric architecture reduces fuel and maintenance costs by 45% while increasing grading precision in variable soil conditions.

Up 20% in 2026, Does Terex Stock Have more room to run through 2030?

Up 20% in 2026, Does Terex Stock Have more room to run through 2030? Last updated Sep 2, 2026 Key Takeaways: * Record Backlog: Terex ended Q2 with $6.9 billion in backlog after bookings jumped 25% year-over-year. * Price Projection: Based on current execution, TEX stock could reach $71.01 by December 2028. * Potential Gains: This target implies a total return of 19.8% from the current price of $59.29. * Annual Return: Investors could see roughly 8% annual growth over the next 2.3 years. Terex (TEX) just delivered a strong Q2, with revenue climbing 8.5% to $2.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA up nearly 11% to $269 million. Every segment grew, and bookings jumped 25% year over year, pushing backlog to $6.9 billion. CEO Simon Meester pointed to a broad demand pickup. U.S. nonresidential construction starts rose 18% this year, fueled by data centers, energy projects, and infrastructure work. Terex is riding that wave across multiple businesses. The Specialty Vehicles segment, built around last year's REV Group merger, posted record earnings as demand for fire trucks and ambulances stayed strong. Chicago alone ordered 80 fire trucks and 40 ambulances during the quarter. Materials Processing also had a standout quarter, with margins expanding 440 basis points to 18.8% on stronger crusher and material handling demand. Management raised full-year guidance on this momentum, now expecting sales of $7.9 billion to $8.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $960 million to $1 billion. One thing to watch: Terex is running a strategic review of its Aerials segment, with interest from multiple potential buyers. No decision has been announced yet. Despite the strong quarter, TEX trades at $59.29. Its model sees modest but real upside from here. What the Model Says for Terex Stock. Terex looks very different today than it did a few years ago. Two major deals, the ESG acquisition and the REV Group merger, have reshaped the company into four segments: Environmental Solutions, Materials Processing, Specialty Vehicles, and Aerials. * Environmental Solutions benefits from steady, recurring demand. Utilities work tied to grid modernization and data center power needs is accelerating, while the refuse collection vehicle business is recovering after a temporary inventory reset earlier in the year. * Materials Processing is riding infrastructure and data center construction in the U.S., its largest market, while India and Australia add further growth from infrastructure and mining activity respectively. * Specialty Vehicles, boosted by the REV Group merger, delivered record quarterly earnings. Management is investing in new plant capacity in Florida and South Dakota to shorten lead times and meet strong municipal demand for fire trucks and ambulances. Using a forecast of 19.5% annual revenue growth and 11.7% net income margins, its model projects the stock could climb to $71.01 within 2.3 years. This assumes an 8.6x price-to-earnings multiple, below Terex's current 11.5x multiple. Its Valuation Assumptions. TIKR's Valuation Model lets you plug in your own assumptions for a company's revenue growth, operating margins, and P/E multiple, and calculates the stock's expected returns. Here's what TIKR used for TEX stock: 1. Revenue Growth: 19.5%. Terex grew revenue 5.7% over the past year, but bookings up 25% and record backlog point to faster growth ahead. Raised full-year guidance already implies about 7.4% growth at the midpoint, with Aerials and Materials Processing both upgraded during the quarter. 2. Operating margins: 11.7%. Net income margin sat at 5.5% over the trailing twelve months. Management has flagged 22% incremental EBITDA margins this year despite higher tariffs, and expects further improvement in Environmental Solutions as utility capacity investments start paying off. So the operating margin estimate has been raised to 11.7%, above the current margin. 3. Exit P/E Multiple: 8.6x. TEX currently trades at a 10.9x forward P/E, below its one-year average of 11.5x and well under its 10-year average of 14x. Its model assumes further compression to 8.6x, a more conservative stance given ongoing tariff and mix uncertainty. What Happens If Things Go Better or Worse? Terex's results depend on how well it integrates recent acquisitions and how construction and municipal spending trends play out. Here's how the stock might perform under different scenarios through December 2028: * Low Case: If revenue growth slows to a 10.7% CAGR and net income margins settle at 7.6%, investors could see a slight loss of 0.3% total return (-0.1% annually). * Mid Case: With 11.8% growth and 7.9% margins, TIKR expect a total return of 27.6% (5.8% annually). * High Case: If construction demand accelerates and synergies from the REV and ESG deals outperform, driving 12.9% revenue growth and 8.1% margins, returns could reach 59.0% total (11.3% annually). The range reflects execution on construction demand acceleration and synergies from the REV and ESG deals outperform and other factors like tariffs and other things. In the worst case, REV and ESG do not perform as expected and hence results actually go a bit downhill from current level. In the best case, construction demand acceleration and synergies from the REV and ESG deals outperform so results show substantial improvement. How Much Upside Does Terex Stock Have From Here? With TIKR's new Valuation Model tool, you can estimate a stock's potential share price in under a minute.
