Wabtec (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAB#NYSE">WAB</a>) announced today a $405-million agreement to supply Evolutions Series ES44ACi locomotives to Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ). The new locomotives will upgrade KTZ's aging fleet and support growing rail demand in the region.
"Kazakhstan has a progressive and open-thinking local government that understands the importance of railways in driving the local economy," said Gokhan Bayhan, Wabtec's Regional Senior Vice President, Operations for CIS, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. "KTZ serves as a critical link for the transportation of freight between China and the West. These Evolution Series locomotives will provide the efficiency, reliability, and operational savings to effectively support the growing demand on the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route."
The locomotive features a 12-cylinder, 4,500-horsepower Evolution Series engine, which provides a high horsepower and low life-cycle costs, improving performance in heavy-haul operations. It is designed to operate in the demanding extreme weather conditions and mountainous terrain of Kazakhstan. The ES44ACi can operate for longer periods between maintenance overhauls than the aging locomotives in KTZ's fleet.
The new locomotives will be built at Wabtec's Lokomotiv Kurastyru Zauyty plant in Astana. The plant meets all global quality standards, such as MC ISO 9001-2015, and employs over 700 people.
"This order builds upon Wabtec's strong relationship with KTZ to transform Kazakhstan's rail industry," said Bayhan. "For more than 20 years, we have been working together to position the country as a rail hub in the CIS region. Our companies continue to explore opportunities that improve the fleet and overall efficiency of the rail ecosystem."
Wabtec will begin delivering the first locomotives from the order next year. The new additions will join a fleet of approximately 451 Evolution Series freight locomotives already operating in KTZ's fleet.

Wabtec Secures $405M Deal To Supply Next-Gen Locomotives To Kazakhstan Railway

<a href="https://www.wabteccorp.com/newsroom/press-releases/wabtec-to-supply-passenger-information-systems-for-munich-s-bahn-trains">https://www.wabteccorp.com/newsroom/press-releases/wabtec-to-supply-passenger-information-systems-for-munich-s-bahn-trains</a>
&nbsp;
Wabtec (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAB#NYSE">WAB</a>) announced today a letter of intent with Siemens Mobility to supply passenger information systems for Munich S-Bahn trains. The multi-million-euro agreement will provide the new Siemens trains with systems that deliver an improved and intuitive passenger experience.
"The Munich S-Bahn is one of the busiest transit systems in Germany, and those commuters rely on easy access to information each day to simplify their journey," said Pascal Schweitzer, President of Transit, Wabtec. "The state-of-the-art system will provide comprehensive, real-time information for an enhanced passenger experience. This solution is a tribute to the close collaboration with Siemens Mobility and Deutsche Bahn to define the best fit for fulfilling the operator's needs and solving technical challenges."
The agreement is a result of a close working relationship between Wabtec and Siemens Mobility engineering teams to meet the requirements of the Munich S-Bahn and provide passengers with better information. The two companies have a strong track record of leading major projects across Deutsche Bahn's network. Most recently, Wabtec worked with Siemens Mobility on integrating the passenger information system for the VELARO MS II project.
Wabtec will supply Siemens Mobility the passenger information systems for 90 S-Bahn trains starting in late 2025. The systems, to be built at Wabtec's site in Brunnthal, Germany, will feature high resolution, full-color LED and TFT displays. The screens will be located above the doors both inside and outside the car, on the ceiling, and in the transitions between the cars. The system will track the course of the journey and provide information about the stations and the occupancy of the respective train. In addition, the systems feature Bluetooth&#xAE; Auracast&#x2122; technology built into the audio solution to improve the journey for hearing-impaired passengers.
The new S-Bahn trains ordered at Siemens Mobility for Munich offer more space, greater comfort, and many innovations. The first trains are scheduled to enter passenger service at the end of 2028. For the first time in Germany, completely integrated S-Bahn trains with a total length of more than 200 meters will be in use, providing capacity for more than 1800 passengers. With the order, the State of Bavaria and the Munich S-Bahn are preparing for expected passenger growth in the coming decades and for the planned mobility transition. The trains are highly energy-efficient, require little maintenance, and receive software updates via the cloud.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peering Into Westinghouse Air Brake's Recent Short Interest

United Airlines (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ual#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) is benefiting from upbeat air travel demand. UAL&#39;s proactive measures toward sustainability and innovation are praiseworthy. However, weakness in liquidity and increased operating expenses are hurting the company&#39;s prospects.
<h3>Factors Favoring UAL</h3>
United Airlines&#39; commitment to sustainability is commendable. The airline aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and has purchased more sustainable fuel than any other U.S. airline in 2023.
In September, UAL and the San Francisco 49ers (American football team) announced that the team has become the first in the National Football League to purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). An alternative to conventional jet fuel, SAF can bring down greenhouse gas emissions by up to 85% over its entire lifecycle, from production to end-use.
UAL&#39;s top line is benefiting from buoyant air travel demand. In the second quarter of 2024, United Airlines saw a 5.5% increase in Revenue Passenger Miles and an 8.3% rise in capacity, measured by Available Seat Miles. The company anticipates this positive trend will continue, with management projecting third-quarter earnings per share in the range of $2.75-$3.25. For the full year, UAL expects EPS to fall between $9 and $11.
United Airlines&#39; proactive efforts to enhance its connectivity and meet the growing demand for travel is encouraging. The airline introduced 12 new domestic routes connecting major cities across the United States and Canada. It announced nearly 200 new flights to Milwaukee and Chicago. This expansion not only benefits travelers but also strengthens United Airlines&#39; position in the competitive aviation market.
Shares of UAL have rallied 20.5% in the past year compared with its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/transportation-airline-187">industry</a>&#39;s growth of 17.4% in the same period.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/16/79653.jpg?v=315210470" style="height:314px; width:624px" /> 
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h3>UAL: Key Risks To Watch</h3>
The surge in operating expenses is adversely impacting the company&#39;s bottom line, driven by increased labor costs and fuel expenses. In the second quarter of 2024, operating expenses surged by 3.1% year over year.
Labor costs, comprising salaries and benefits, which represent 31.4% of total operating costs, increased by 10.5% year over year. Aircraft fuel expenses rose by 11.1% year over year, pushing up the total operating costs.
United Airlines exited the second quarter of 2024 with a current ratio (a measure of liquidity) of 0.77. A current ratio of less than 1 indicates that the company is likely to struggle to meet its short-term obligations. Reduced pricing power is another concern.
<h3>Zacks Rank</h3>
UAL currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
<h3>Stocks&nbsp;To Consider</h3>
Some better-ranked stocks for investors&#39; consideration in the Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/sector/transportation-15">Transportation</a> sector include C.H. Robinson Worldwide (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chrw#NASDAQ">CHRW</a>) and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wab#NYSE">WAB</a>).
C.H. Robinson Worldwide currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/buy-list/?ADID=zp_1link&amp;ICID=zpi%20_1link">the complete list of today&#39;s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here</a>. &nbsp;CHRW has an expected earnings growth rate of 25.2% for the current year.
The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, delivering an average surprise of 7.3%. Shares of CHRW have risen 26.5% in the past year. 
WAB carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present and has an expected earnings growth rate of 26% for the current year.
The company has an encouraging track record with respect to the earnings surprise, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once. The average beat is 11.8%. Shares of WAB have climbed 73.2% in the past year.
