Terex

Terex makes specialized equipment for emergency services, waste and recycling, utilities and construction. On February 2, 2026, it completed the purchase of REV Group, which makes fire trucks, ambulances and other specialty vehicles. Terex now reports four segments: Environmental Solutions (refuse collection trucks and utility equipment), Materials Processing (mobile crushers and screens), Specialty Vehicles (the former REV Group) and Aerials (Genie aerial work platforms).

Terex sells most of its equipment through dealers and to rental companies, utilities and cities, and it also earns money from parts and service. It sold its tower and rough terrain cranes businesses on October 31, 2025. For 2026, it expects sales of $7.9 billion to $8.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $960 million to $1.0 billion.

The market prices Terex as a cyclical machine maker in the middle of a large change. The REV Group purchase added debt and an integration. Terex also runs a strategic review of its Aerials business with interest from multiple parties, but it has not said the result or the date. Aerials has the lowest margin of the four segments, and tariffs cut its adjusted EBITDA margin to 5.7% in Q2 2026 from 9.1% a year earlier.

Refuse truck shipments also fell. The stock fell by about a quarter from late June to mid-October 2026. For the gap to close, four things must be true. Terex must reach its raised 2026 guidance of $960 million to $1.0 billion of adjusted EBITDA, which needs a stronger second half.

The REV synergies must reach the planned $75 million annual run rate within two years, with about $28 million in 2026. The Aerials strategic review must end in a sale or separation at a fair value, and Terex must use the money to cut debt or buy back shares. Net debt must fall below the 2.3 times adjusted EBITDA of June 30, 2026. The first test is the Q3 2026 report on October 28, 2026, and the FY 2026 report in about February 2027 gives the 2027 guidance.

An Aerials deal can come at any time. If these checks pass, the gap can close over the next three to six quarters.

• Demand for aerial work platforms and crushers moves with construction and rental company spending. A slowdown in non-residential construction or higher interest rates can cut orders quickly.
• Tariffs raise costs, mostly in Aerials, whose adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 5.7% in Q2 2026 from 9.1% a year earlier. New tariffs or slower price increases can lower margins again.
• The strategic review of Aerials can end with a low price, a long delay or no deal. Until it ends, investors cannot value the company with certainty.
• The REV Group integration must deliver about $75 million of annual synergies within two years. Specialty Vehicles depends on fire truck and ambulance production, and Environmental Solutions had lower refuse truck shipments and production problems in Utilities in Q2 2026.
• Net debt was $2.28 billion at June 30, 2026, 2.3 times adjusted EBITDA. A downturn can raise leverage and slow buybacks.
