• CNH guided 2026 industrial net sales to be flat to down 4% with industrial adjusted EBIT margin of 2.5%–3.5%, adjusted EPS of $0.35–$0.45, and industrial free cash flow of $150–$350m, signaling a weak near‑term outlook.
• Rising trade headwinds are material — agriculture tariffs are expected to grow to ~210–220 bps in 2026 (from 110 bps in 2025) and construction faces ~500 bps gross impact — management expects Q1 to be around breakeven and a larger seasonal free‑cash‑flow outflow.
• Cost and quality programs delivered about $230 million of agriculture cost savings in 2025 and CNH remains on track for a $550 million cumulative target by 2030, which management expects to contribute 50–75 bps of ag margin improvement in 2026.
• CNH is accelerating its product and tech pipeline — new mid‑range tractors, next‑gen combines, a cotton harvester, and >30 precision tech releases through 2027 — while scoring top industry sustainability rankings (S&P/ CDP), supporting differentiation and longer‑term market share gains.
• Dealer destocking reduced dealer inventories by roughly $800 million in 2025 (below the $1bn target due to intentional Q4 shipments into Europe); management is pursuing dealer consolidation and dual‑brand networks to improve coverage, with benefits expected to be back‑end loaded.
