In short
- Thesis
- Investors fear weak Aerials and refuse truck margins and the risk of the REV integration and the Aerials separation, and results on plan with a fair Aerials deal over three to six quarters can close the gap.
- Gap
- Can close. The outcome of the Aerials separation, the 2027 guidance in early 2027 and the REV synergies give dated evidence within about a year.
Company guidance: Adjusted diluted EPS of $4.80 - $5.00 and net sales of $8.0B - $8.2B for 2026 (, Q3 2026 earnings release (8-K))
Price history
About
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 $8.0 billion to $8.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $930 million to $960 million.
Thesis
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 plans to separate its Aerials business. In October 2026, it said that it was in active talks with multiple strategic parties, but it has not said the result or the date.
Aerials has the lowest margin of the four segments. Tariffs cut its adjusted EBITDA margin to 5.7% in Q2 2026, and it recovered to 8.7% in Q3 2026, below the 10.5% of a year earlier. Refuse truck shipments also fell, and the Environmental Solutions margin fell to 15.3% in Q3 2026 from 19.2%. In October 2026, Terex lowered its 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook to $930 million to $960 million from $960 million to $1.0 billion.
For the gap to close, four things must be true. Terex must reach its 2026 outlook of $4.80 to $5.00 of adjusted EPS and $360 million to $400 million of free cash flow. The REV synergies must reach the planned $75 million annual run rate within two years, with about $28 million in 2026. The Aerials process must end in a sale or separation at a fair price, and Terex must use the money to cut debt or buy back shares.
Environmental Solutions must recover its refuse truck volume and its Utilities production. The FY 2026 report with the 2027 guidance in early 2027 is the next test. An Aerials deal can come at any time. If these checks pass, the gap can close over the next three to six quarters.

Risks
- 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. It recovered to 8.7% in Q3 2026, below 10.5% a year earlier. New tariffs or slower price increases can lower margins again.
- The Aerials separation process 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 and Q3 2026, and its adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 15.3% in Q3 2026 from 19.2%.
- Debt was $2.58 billion and cash was $407 million at September 30, 2026. A downturn can raise leverage and slow buybacks.
