Description: GBX Greenbrier Companies November 11, 2025

The Greenbrier Companies (GBX) designs, manufactures, and markets a broad portfolio of railroad freight-car equipment across North America, Europe, and South America, operating through two divisions: Manufacturing and Leasing & Management Services. The Manufacturing segment produces covered hopper cars, gondolas, open-top hoppers, boxcars, tank cars, intermodal railcars, and related components, while also offering wheel-axle reconditioning, axle machining, and a rail-car maintenance network. The Leasing & Management Services segment provides operating and per-diem leases for roughly 17,000 railcars and delivers maintenance, accounting, fleet-management, and re-marketing services to railroads, shippers, financial institutions, and other leasing entities.

Key recent metrics: GBX reported FY 2023 revenue of approximately $2.2 billion with an adjusted EBITDA margin near 12%, and its leasing portfolio carries a weighted-average lease rate of roughly 6.5% per annum. The company’s order backlog stands at about $1.5 billion, reflecting sustained demand for new freight-car builds amid a rebound in bulk-commodity shipments-a sector driver that tends to rise with higher global steel and grain production. Additionally, GBX’s exposure to rail-car leasing offers a relatively defensive cash-flow profile compared with pure-play manufacturers, which can be advantageous during cyclical downturns in freight volumes.
