Why is CNH Industrial N.V. (CNH) stock moving?
CNH beat Q3 expectations on Nov 9, with adjusted EPS of $0.16 against $0.10 expected and sales of $4.354B against $4.160B, and raised FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $0.44-$0.48. Same day it agreed to move its construction equipment business into a joint venture with Kobelco at a $1B enterprise value, with CNH receiving cash and keeping 30%, which management says makes it a pure-play agriculture company. Reported net income was only $35M because of a $156M non-cash tax valuation charge, and the adjusted result was helped by $109M of pre-tax tariff refunds that may not recur. The stock rose from $11.56 on Nov 6 to a $12.82 close on Nov 9 (+10.9% on 25.4M shares, versus about 17M shares on typical late-October days), reaching an intraday high of $13.25. On Nov 10 it fell 4.4% to $12.26 on 21.3M shares, well below that high, with VWAP at $12.38. Five brokers updated targets on Nov 10: Barclays, Baird and JP Morgan raised theirs (to $15, $16 and $12), while Truist and Evercore cut theirs (to $16 and $17.50). Four of the five keep a Buy-type rating, and JP Morgan remains Underweight with a $12 target near the current price.

About CNH INDUSTRIAL N.V.
CNH Industrial is a Netherlands-incorporated, UK-headquartered maker of farm and construction equipment, selling under brands such as Case IH, New Holland, STEYR and CASE Construction. It is one of the world's largest farm equipment makers, and it is putting more money into precision-farming technology such as automation, guidance and connected machines.
How it makes money
Most revenue comes from selling tractors, combines, sprayers and other farm machinery through dealers. Agriculture makes up roughly three-quarters of equipment sales, and construction equipment such as loaders and excavators makes up most of the rest. A financial services arm adds about 15% of revenue (roughly $650 million in Q2 2026) from loans and leases to dealers and customers. Equipment sales were about $15 billion in 2025, and the company expects them to be roughly flat in 2026, which it describes as the low point of the farm cycle.
