Cummins (CMI) Up On News Caterpillar Will Exit On-Highway Engine Biz

Shares of Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) are 11% higher today following news that Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) partnered up with Navistar (OTC: NAVZ) for their on-highway truck business and said it will not supply EPA 2010 compliant engines to truck and other on-highway original equipment manufacturers.

Analysts expects this news will allow Cummins to take a larget percentage of the market.

An analyst at Wachovia said, "Based on CAT's decision to exit the North American on-highway truck engine business (for non-severe service) in 2010, we believe that CMI will generally increase share at NAVZ, PCAR, and potentially Daimler North American truck applications. This announcement is positive for CMI."
