Wabash buoyed by parts and services amid weak freight market
This story was originally published on Trucking Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Trucking Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Wabash's parts and services business is emerging as a growth engine as the company continues to face headwinds from a persistently weak freight market, according to its Q2 earnings report. The segment grew by 15% sequentially and by nearly 9% year over year. Net sales for the quarter totaled $59.7 million, and operating income was $9.1 million. 'While the freight market has continued to put pressure on equipment orders and transportation solutions, parts and services continues to deliver secular growth, stabilizing earnings through the cycle,' said Mike Pettit, chief growth officer, during Wabash's earnings call held July 25. ' As this segment expands, its higher margins will play an ever larger role in Wabash's bottom line and cash flow generation.' Dive Insight: With a $1 billion backlog sitting as carriers continue to 'wait and see,' Wabash is pushing forward with its strategy to grow its parts and services and Trailers-as-a-Service segments. Here's what executives highlighted during the earnings call: Wabash is opening two new upfit centers in Northwest Indiana and Atlanta — two strategic markets — to increase its capacity. Last year, the manufacturer completed 1,100 upfit units, and it expects to exceed 2,000 units in 2025. The company invested $21 million into the Trailers-as-a-Service fleet during the first half of the year, expanding it to 1,000 units. Notably, excluding its capital investments in TAS, Wabash would be near free cash flow break even in 2025. Wabash has added 29 locations to its Preferred Partner Network in 2025, in an effort to grow parts distribution and accelerate repairs. It now has 110 locations with more coming online every month. Despite that progress, Wabash opted to lower its 2025 guidance to $1.6 billion in revenue — down from a forecasted $1.8 billion in Q1 — and a steeper loss per share ranging between $1.30 and $1. After early discussions with customers, Wabash President and CEO Brent Yeagy said he is 'cautiously optimistic' that 2026 will mark a return to growth. 'Of course, our outlook assumes relative stability in the broader environment,' he said during the earnings call. 'If we avoid further deterioration in business and consumer sentiment, we believe 2026 has the potential to align with current growth expectations.'

Why Wabash (WNC) Shares Are Sliding Today
What Happened? Shares of semi trailers and liquid transportation container manufacturer Wabash (NYSE:WNC) fell 8.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported weaker-than-expected full-year guidance that overshadowed its second-quarter results. The transportation equipment manufacturer reported a second-quarter adjusted loss of $0.15 per share on revenue of $459 million, both of which were better than analyst expectations. However, investors focused on the company's significantly weakened outlook for the rest of the year. Wabash cut its full-year 2025 revenue forecast to approximately $1.6 billion, well below the $1.71 billion analysts had anticipated. It also lowered its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) guidance to a loss between $1.00 and $1.30, a substantial drop from the consensus estimate of a $0.75 loss. Management pointed to a challenging market, with CEO Brent Yeagy stating that "demand remains muted across the trailer industry." The company's backlog also fell by 23.1% year-over-year, signaling a slowdown in future business. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Wabash? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Wabash's shares are extremely volatile and have had 30 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock gained 5.2% as a new trade agreement between the United States and Japan spurred a broad market rally. The positive sentiment swept across markets after it was announced the U.S. and Japan had reached a new trade deal. The agreement included a 15% tariff on Japanese goods imported into the U.S. and a commitment from Japan to invest $550 billion in the U.S. and open its markets to American cars and agricultural products. This development boosted investor confidence and contributed to a widespread rally, lifting stocks across many sectors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both posted gains, creating a favorable environment that likely benefited individual stocks. Wabash is down 42.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $9.84 per share, it is trading 54.2% below its 52-week high of $21.49 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Wabash's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $833.45. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future.
