Shares of Pittsburgh, PA-based company Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation, operating as Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wab#NYSE">WAB</a>), have been benefiting from its consistent shareholder-friendly initiatives, as well as strength across its Freight and Transit segments. Bullish full-year 2024 earnings guidance looks encouraging and raises optimism about the stock.
The positive sentiment surrounding WAB stock is evident from the fact that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third quarter and full-year 2024 earnings has been revised upward in the past 60 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter and full-year 2024 earnings per share&nbsp;indicates growth of 9.4% and 26% from the respective 2023 figures.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/f1/78187.jpg?v=353666507" style="height:310px; width:600px" />

The company&#39;s long-term (three-to-five years) earnings growth rate is 16.1%, higher than its industry&#39;s 13.4%.
Let&#39;s delve deeper.
<h2>Solid Financial Returns for Shareholders</h2>
Highlighting its pro-investor stance, Wabtec (on Feb. 14, 2024) announced a 17.6% dividend increase, thereby raising its quarterly cash dividend from 17 cents per share to 20 cents. This quarterly dividend of 20 cents (80 cents annualized) per share gives Wabtec a 0.47% yield at the current stock price. This company&#39;s payout ratio is 11%, with a five-year dividend growth rate of 12.34%.

Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation dividend-yield-ttm | Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Quote
Wabtec&#39;s bottom line has been benefiting from its consistent efforts to reward its shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. In 2022, WAB paid dividends of $111 million and repurchased shares worth $473 million. In 2023, WAB paid dividends of $123 million and repurchased shares worth $409 million. During the first six months of 2024, WAB paid dividends of $71 million and repurchased shares worth $375 million. Such shareholder-friendly moves instill investors&#39; confidence and positively impact the company&#39;s bottom line.
</div>
Dividend-paying stocks provide a solid income stream and have fewer chances of experiencing wild price swings. Dividend stocks, like WAB, are safe bets for creating wealth, as the payouts generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty like the current scenario.
<h2>Segmental Strength Boosts WAB&#39;s Top Line</h2>
Wabtec&#39;s top line has been benefiting from higher sales across its Freight and Transit segments. While the Freight segment benefits from growth in services and components, the transit segment gains from strong aftermarket and original equipment manufacturing sales.
WAB is expected to continue its strong performance due to strong underlying demand and a robust backlog.The ongoing summer season is expected to provide a further boost to revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for WAB&#39;s third-quarter and fourth-quarter 2024 revenues is pegged at $2.64 billion and $2.61 billion, which indicates an improvement of 3.6% and 3.2% from 2023&#39;s actuals, respectively.
Driven by this encouraging backdrop, management raised its current-year EPS guidance. Wabtec raised 2024 EPS guidance to the range of $7.20-$7.50 from $7.00-$7.40 guided previously. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.46 lies within the updated guided range.
Wabtec&#39;s full-year revenue guidance remains unchanged in the $10.25 billion-$10.55 billion band. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.39 billion lies within the guided range.
<h2>WAB&#39;s Price Performance Soars High</h2>
Wabtec has an impressive earnings surprise history. The company&#39;s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters (missed the mark in the remaining quarter), delivering an average surprise of 11.83%. Driven by this upbeat earnings performance and the positives mentioned above, WAB shares have gained 37.2% so far this year, outperforming its industry as well as the S&amp;P 500, of which the company is a key member.
Additionally, WAB&#39;s price performance so far this year compares favorably with that of other industry players like Ryder Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/r#NYSE">R</a>) and Air Lease Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/al#NYSE">AL</a>).
<h2>YTD Price Performance</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/74/78188.jpg?v=895383158" style="height:310px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h2>Some Other Tailwinds Working in Favor of WAB Stock</h2>
We are impressed with WAB&#39;s healthy balance sheet. The company&#39;s cash and equivalents increased to $595 million at the end of second-quarter 2024 from $371 million at the end of second-quarter 2023. Meanwhile, the long-term debt level has decreased to $3.5 billion at the end of second-quarter 2024 from $3.4 billion in the second quarter of 2023.
<h2>Long-Term Debt to Capitalization</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/07/78186.jpg?v=673179907" style="height:310px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h2>Wrapping Up</h2>
Given the positives surrounding the WAB stock, as highlighted throughout the write-up, we believe that investors should add WAB stock to their portfolio for healthy returns. The Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) carried by the stock supports our thesis.

Wabtec's EPS Estimates Northbound: Time to Buy WAB Stock?

Ryder System's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/R#NYSE">R</a>) short percent of float has fallen 22.73% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 447 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.47 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Ryder System has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Ryder System's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Ryder System's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.75%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Shares of Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/r#NYSE">R</a>) performed well on the bourse on Jul 12, 2024, closing the trading session at $128.75 per share, up 3.02% from the previous day&#39;s closing. The upside was owing to the dividend&nbsp;hike announcement by Ryder&#39;s board of directors.
In a shareholder-friendly move, R&#39;s board of directors has approved a dividend hike of 14.1%, thereby raising its quarterly cash dividend to 81 cents per share ($3.24 annualized) from 71 cents ($2.84 annualized). The raised dividend will be paid out on Sep 20, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Aug 19. The move reflects R&#39;s intention to utilize free cash to enhance its shareholders&#39; returns.
This marks Ryder&#39;s 192nd consecutive quarterly cash dividend. Notably, Ryder has been making uninterrupted dividend payments for more than 48 years.

Ryder has been consistently making efforts to reward its shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, which are encouraging. During 2021, Ryder rewarded its shareholders through dividends of $122 million and repurchased shares worth $57 million. In 2022, Ryder paid dividends of $123 million and repurchased shares worth $557 million. In 2023, Ryder paid dividends of $128 million and repurchased shares worth $337 million. During first-quarter 2024, Ryder paid dividends of $35 million and repurchased shares worth $51 million.
Dividend-paying stocks provide a solid income stream and have fewer chances of experiencing wild price swings. Dividend stocks, like R, are safe bets for creating wealth, as the payouts generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty like the current scenario.&nbsp;
R&#39;s management&#39;s decision to increase its quarterly dividend payout reflects the company&#39;s commitment to boosting shareholder value apart from underlining confidence in its business. We believe such shareholder-friendly initiatives should boost investor confidence and positively impact this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company&#39;s bottom line.
Notably, shares of Ryder have gained 45% over the past year compared with 28.9% growth of the industry.

Ryder is not the only player from the Zacks Transportation sector that has rewarded its shareholders with dividend payouts or share buyback programs. To name a few, on Jun 20, 2024, Delta Air Lines (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dal#NYSE">DAL</a>) management announced a 50% hike in the quarterly dividend payout. This was the first dividend increase announced by DAL since its resumption of quarterly dividend payments last year following the COVID-induced hiatus. The decision reflects DAL&#39;s shareholder-friendly approach. Financial prosperity owing to strong passenger revenues may have led to the dividend hike.
Delta Air Lines raised its quarterly dividend to 15 cents per share (annualized 60 cents per share), representing an increase of 50% over the previous payout of 10 cents per share (annualized 40 cents per share). The new dividend, which has been approved by the company&#39;s board of directors, will be paid on Aug 20 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on Jul 30, 2024.
On Jun 10, 2024, FedEx Corporation&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fdx#NYSE">FDX</a>) board of directors approved a dividend hike of 10%, thereby raising its quarterly cash dividend from $1.26 ($5.04 annualized) per share to $1.38 ($5.52 annualized).The raised dividend was paid on Jul 9 to shareholders of record at the close of business on Jun 24, 2024.
