This industrial company is currently trading 6.3% below its 52-week high of $718.08, reached on May 7. Shares of CMI have soared 24.8% over the past three months, considerably outperforming the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 9.9% uptick during the same time frame.

In the longer term, CMI has rallied 106% over the past 52 weeks, significantly outpacing SPX's 23.4% return over the same time period. Moreover, on a YTD basis, shares of CMI are up 31.8%, compared to SPX’s 8.2% rise.

To confirm its bullish trend, CMI has been trading above its 200-day moving average since early July 2025, and has remained above its 50-day moving average since early April.

Cummins shares climbed 2.8% on May 5 after the company reported a strong Q1 earnings report and raised its full-year forecast, fueled by resilient North American truck markets and surging data center demand. The power technology leader generated $8.4 billion in Q1 revenue, representing a 3% year-over-year increase. A primary catalyst for this growth was the power generation business, where sales jumped 19% to $2 billion, on the back of accelerating data center infrastructure builds across North America, China, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Market optimism was further bolstered as management raised its 2026 revenue growth guidance to a range of 8% to 11% and lifted its full-year EBITDA projections in the range of 17.75% to 18.5%.

CMI has also outperformed its rival, Parker-Hannifin Corporation (PH), which gained 31.6% over the past 52 weeks and increased marginally on a YTD basis.

Looking at CMI’s recent outperformance, analysts remain moderately optimistic about its prospects. The stock has a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy” from the 20 analysts covering it, and the mean price target of $711.88 suggests a 5.8% premium to its current price levels.
