Where TEX is headed

Terex in mid-2028 looks nothing like the Terex of 2023. The Environmental Solutions segment, bolted on through the ESG acquisition for $2 billion, is now generating around $1.6 billion in annual revenue with mid-teens margins and, more interestingly, a growing tail of software and telematics revenue from 3rd Eye, Connected Collections, and the fleet management stack sitting inside every refuse truck sold in North America. Waste collection is not glamorous, but it is the closest thing industrials have to a subscription business: municipal contracts run 7-10 years, replacement cycles are legislated by emissions rules, and the customer literally cannot skip a week.
