Cummins (CMI) Launched Its S29 Mining Engine, Is The Stock Still Cheap?

Cummins (CMI) put its mining ambitions in focus with the S29 engine launch in Chongqing, a new 29 liter platform aimed at heavy haul trucks, excavators and broader industrial equipment.

The Cummins share price has slipped over the past quarter, with a 30 day share price return of 13.42% and a 90 day move down 27.86%, even as the business reported higher third quarter sales and earnings and slightly trimmed its 2026 growth guidance. Over the past year, total shareholder return is close to flat at 0.12%, although the three and five year total shareholder returns of 114.60% and 126.68% show a very different long run story, so the recent pullback signals fading near term momentum rather than a simple reversal of the longer track record.
