Wabtec to report Q2 2026 earnings on 22 July, sales expected to reach $3.08B

Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies, operating as Wabtec Corporation, is set to report second-quarter 2026 results on 22 July before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings stands at $2.63 per share, representing a 15.9% increase from the year-ago period. Revenue is expected to reach $3.08 billion, up 13.8% year over year. Wabtec has beaten earnings estimates in each of the past four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 3.97%. However, the company's second-quarter performance may face headwinds from higher operating expenses, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and supply-chain disruptions. Offsetting these challenges, stronger demand for services and components across aftermarket and OEM channels is expected to support top-line growth. Freight revenues are forecast at $2.19 billion, whilst Transit revenues are projected at $839.37 million.
