Greenbrier Companies used its third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call to highlight resilience through operational improvements and an expanding leasing platform amid weak North American railcar demand. The company reported revenues of $576.50 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.60, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.57 by 5.3%. Management expanded the owned lease fleet to 20,600 railcars with 99% utilization, acquiring roughly 4,400 railcars in the secondary market during the quarter, and reiterated its goal of doubling recurring revenues by 2028. Aggregate gross margin reached 14.1%, within the long-term target range, supported by cost controls and in-sourcing investments even as manufacturing revenues declined sequentially. Greenbrier maintained its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook of $2.4-$2.5 billion but lowered earnings per share guidance to $3.00-$3.15, citing delivery shifts into fiscal 2027 and moderated fourth-quarter production expectations.
