CNH Industrial N.V. (CNH) shares are soaring 5.01% in pre-market trading on Thursday following the release of its first-quarter 2025 financial results, which surpassed analyst expectations. The agricultural and construction equipment manufacturer reported strong performance despite challenging market conditions.

The company announced Q1 revenue of $3.83 billion, significantly beating the IBES estimate of $3.51 billion. While this represents a 20.5% decrease from the same period last year, it demonstrates CNH Industrial's resilience in a tough economic environment. The adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.10, meeting consensus estimates and slightly surpassing some analysts' expectations of $0.09 per share.

CNH Industrial's CEO commented on the results, stating, "Our strong first-quarter performance reflects the company's ability to navigate market headwinds effectively. We remain committed to our strategic initiatives and are pleased to reaffirm our full-year 2025 outlook, with adjusted diluted EPS expected to be between $0.50 and $0.70." This positive outlook, combined with the better-than-expected Q1 results, has boosted investor confidence, driving the stock's pre-market rally.
