In other recent news, Wabash National Corporation reported steady Q3 2024 earnings, with an adjusted net income of $8.6 million and earnings per share (EPS) at $0.19. The consolidated revenue reached $464 million, leading the company to adjust its full-year revenue outlook to approximately $1.95 billion and EPS to around $1.25. DA Davidson maintained a neutral stance on Wabash, with an unchanged price target of $18.00, expecting no significant earnings recovery until 2026. This projection was based on the cautious stance fleet operators are taking regarding the 2025 order season, potentially leading to a decrease in the trailer market. Despite these challenges, DA Davidson noted positive aspects within Wabash National's operations, particularly the growth potential in the Trailer-as-a-Service and Parts segments. Wabash is also emphasizing customer-centricity and strategic partnerships, with anticipated traditional capital investments of $70 million to $80 million in 2024. However, due to uncertainties in the trailer market, there is caution in providing specific earnings guidance for 2025. These are among the recent developments for Wabash National Corporation.
