CNH Industrial N.V. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Net revenues from the Agricultural Equipment segment rose 3.5% year over year to $2.6 billion. The rise was due to positive price across all regions and higher sales in NAFTA. Moreover, the segment’s adjusted EBIT was $196 million, marking a $23 million increase compared with the third quarter of 2017.
Construction Equipment segment’s revenues increased 17.5% to $726 million compared with the prior-year quarter. The gain was primarily due to favorable demand, majorly in NAFTA and APAC. Adjusted EBIT was $26 million, marking a $24 million gain compared with the prior-year quarter.
Revenues from the Commercial Vehicles slumped 6.6% to $2.4 billion compared with the prior-year quarter. Waning demand, primarily for heavy vehicle trucks in EMEA, led to this decline. The segment’s adjusted EBIT was $68 million, witnessing an increase of $25 million from third-quarter 2017.
