In advance of Greenbrier’s first-quarter earnings release scheduled for January 8, 2025, three of the most accurate industry analysts have adjusted their forecasts higher. Stifel raised its per-share earnings estimate by 6% to $1.28, citing stronger order flow in North America, while KBW boosted its outlook by 8% to $1.35 on the back of a growing maintenance and retrofitting services backlog. The consensus revenue estimate has climbed from $780 million to $845 million, reflecting a 9% year-over-year increase driven by robust demand for new tank and covered hopper railcars. Greenbrier currently holds an order backlog of approximately 35,000 units valued at $3.2 billion, positioning the company for further top-line growth in the second half of the year.

On January 14, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, Greenbrier’s President and Chief Executive Officer Lorie Tekorius will present at the Midwest Association of Rail Shippers Winter Meeting.
