Forward Guidance
Trinity Industries anticipates positive industry trends to persist in the latter half of the year, with revenue growth driven by increasing lease rates and consistent railcar deliveries. While margin improvement is expected, it will be partially offset by factors such as the strength of the Mexican peso, increased interest expenses, and a slower-than-anticipated recovery in efficiency and supply chain dynamics.
