Cummins (CMI) delivered strong Q1'26 results, with Power Systems EBITDA margin reaching a record 29.5% and full-year guidance raised across revenue and margins.

Power Systems benefits from durable data center demand, supporting higher valuation multiples, yet the stock trades at a demanding 14x forward EV/EBITDA versus historical 7-10x.
