MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Wabtec
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Co.:

Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Co. recently reported strong financial performance for the quarter ended July 22, 2026, with earnings per share of $2.76, which exceeded the analyst consensus estimate of $2.60 by $0.16, demonstrating the company's ability to generate higher profits than expected by the market.
The company's revenue for the most recent quarter reached $3.18 billion, surpassing the analyst estimate of $3.07 billion and representing a 17.5% increase compared to the same period last year, indicating robust demand for its rail equipment and services.
Wall Street analysts maintain a positive outlook on the stock, with a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" and an average price target of $313.36, which suggests potential upside from the current stock price of $280.88 as of September 9, 2026.
Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Co. has raised its full-year 2026 earnings guidance to a range of $10.60 to $10.90 per share, signaling management confidence in continued growth and operational efficiency throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.

Wabtec
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Co. for these reasons:

Insiders have been actively selling shares, with the CEO Rafael Santana selling 1,163 shares on August 4, 2026, and other executives like CTO Eric Gebhardt selling 7,100 shares in July, which may signal a lack of confidence from company leadership in the current stock valuation.
The stock is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 37.75, which is relatively high compared to many industrial peers, suggesting that the stock price may be overvalued relative to its current earnings power and leaving little room for error if growth slows.
Short interest in the stock has been increasing, with shares shorted rising to 2,792,145 as of August 14, 2026, indicating that a significant number of traders are betting against the stock's future performance.
Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Co. has a low dividend yield of 0.44%, which may be unattractive to income-focused investors seeking higher cash returns from their equity investments.
The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.44 and quick ratio of 0.59 suggest that while it is not heavily leveraged, its liquidity position may be tight, potentially limiting its ability to respond quickly to unexpected financial pressures or opportunities.
