Cummins Inc. (CMI) filed an 8-K on May 2, 2024, primarily to furnish its first-quarter 2024 earnings press release.

As this 8-K solely serves to present the Q1 2024 earnings, the key takeaways for investors will be found within the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99).
This will include performance metrics such as revenue, earnings per share, profitability margins, and any forward-looking guidance provided by the company.
