Forecasting The Future: 10 Analyst Projections For Cummins

JPMorgan analysts Claudia Hueston and Pedro Martins just dropped a major AI ripple effect report, and the verdict is clear: DeepSeek's latest LLM is shaking up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">the tech hierarchy</a>.
With the promise of slashing training and inference costs, some companies stand to gain big, while others might be in for a rough ride.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Winners: The AI Powerhouses</h2>
The bullish camp — tagged under JPMorgan's DeepSeek Positive Impact — is a who's who of AI titans and cloud leaders. Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) top the list, unsurprisingly, given their AI ambitions.
But the wave also lifts Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) — all crucial to AI infrastructure. Even software players like Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), Databricks rival Confluent Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFLT#NASDAQ">CFLT</a>) and GitLab Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTLB#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>) look poised to benefit from AI-powered cost efficiencies.
The key theme? AI is moving from experimental to execution mode, and companies that enable inferencing and data management stand to gain.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Losers: The Hardware Setback</h2>
On the flip side, JPMorgan's DeepSeek Negative Impact list puts companies like Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) in the danger zone. With cheaper and more efficient AI models, legacy hardware players could see slower demand for expensive, high-power training chips. 
Even industrial giants like Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Cummins Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) might take a hit if AI-driven automation undercuts traditional heavy machinery investments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway: AI's Next Economic Shift</h2>
While hyperscalers are still throwing money at AI hardware, DeepSeek's disruption could eventually tilt the value proposition toward application-layer innovation. 
Companies that enable seamless AI adoption—think Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)—could see an acceleration in demand, while those overly reliant on expensive, legacy infrastructure may need a strategy refresh.

Barclays analyst Adam Seiden maintains Cummins (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) with a Equal-Weight and raises the price target from $310 to $381.

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on Cummins, Raises Price Target to $381

U.S. stocks advanced midday Tuesday, demonstrating resilience despite escalating geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties between the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">world&#8217;s two largest economies.</a>
China responded to President Donald Trump&#8216;s 10% import tariff with targeted countermeasures, including restrictions on key mineral exports to the U.S. and tariffs on American energy products.
Beijing is raising tariffs by 10%-15% on select U.S. imports, including coal, liquefied natural gas, crude oil, agricultural machinery and vehicles. Additionally, China added PVH Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) and Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) to its &#8220;Unreliable Entity List,&#8221; citing the need to &#8220;safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests,&#8221; and opened an antitrust investigation on Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).
Market participants had anticipated a call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday, but media reports indicated the conversation would not happen today.
The trade developments had an immediate impact on oil markets, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures plunging 3% overnight to as low as $70 per barrel. 
Yet, prices rebounded sharply Tuesday morning following reports that Trump is considering issuing a memorandum aimed at inflicting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43469234/trump-prepares-maximum-pressure-on-iran-oil-jumps-above-73-energy-stocks-rally">maximum economic damage on Iran</a>, potentially leading to a sharp decline in Iranian oil production.

Sales declined 1%&nbsp;year over year (Y/Y) to&nbsp;$8.45 billion, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$8.07 billion.
The Indiana-based company stated that sales in North America remained flat Y/Y and international revenues declined 3% Y/Y in the quarter.

The charges were the result of a strategic review to streamline operations and focus investments, as the adoption of certain zero-emissions solutions has slowed in some regions around the world," said Jennifer Rumsey, chair and CEO of Cummins.
"In 2025, we anticipate that demand will be slightly weaker in the North America on-highway truck markets, particularly in the first half of the year, but offset by strength in other key markets. Despite a relatively flat revenue forecast and relative weakness in the key North America truck markets, we expect to improve profitability and cash flow."
